Rowland Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Well.. We are ready at prge this weekend and on arcadeshopper.com starting next week! I sold 4 today! Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk Wow! I was away for the weekend, without Internet, and returned to find the 32k sidecar quietly came to market and sold out almost instantly. Congratulations! My unit is back ordered, but as I said earlier, I await it eagerly with some semblance of patience! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkeey Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Wow nice board. You actually have edge connectors of the right size. My nanopeb has an edge connector that was cut down from a larger one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My nanopeb has an edge connector that was cut down from a larger one. Thanks, that is part of the reason why it has a set of header pins for extension instead of propagating the edge-card requirement. -M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpman Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I ordered two of the boards yesterday. Thank you for developing and external 32K memory expansion. This is way cool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billysastard Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 i know this is a dumb question but if i order with psu from arcadeshopper i'd assume it's supplied with an optional us 110v unit, can anyone direct me to a suitable uk 3 pin 230v power supply?

Sure pick flat rate usps first class instead of priority mail. Also I verified the power supplies I sell are 110-240v so all that's needed is the plug adapter.

billysastard Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 thanks for that, sorry i was put off as it costed the item and shipping before it gave an option to switch to something more reasonable so i didn't get that far in the process, i've done it now so joined the backorder queue, i didn't add the psu as i'd already bought the longer version of the usb cable you recommended and a usb adapter plug from amazon (same lead is available with free shipping from gameseek on ebay uk at £3.88 btw). thanks for your help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dphirschler Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Stupid question alert... If I mod my TI Speech Synth to bridge the power over, will it still be able to work with the PEB or other side peripherals? Darryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 If I mod my TI Speech Synth to bridge the power over, will it still be able to work with the PEB or other side peripherals? Sure, the power is present without the speech, but people use their P-Boxes without speech, so the power being present is not an issue.

+OLD CS1 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 My guess is that as the SS was designed not to pass power, the entire firehose cable and attachment is powered by the flex-cable card and the power pin is ignored.

Sinphaltimus Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Exactly one week from today I'll place my order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinphaltimus Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 About the power...I'm surprised no one brought this up. http://www.mainbyte.com/ti99/speech/speech_console.html I may go this route. I imagine having the SSer internal and the 32k card directly on the port would not require external power or power mod to the SSer. I'm interested because the width of the console is a concern for me. I want to be able to install it as part of my greater computer setup under a monitor stand. 32k side cart and fr99 only console. So saving the space of the SSer width is a big deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Totally forgot about that one. Well worth doing indeed. Great weekend project 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Nice mod, but so much easier just to solder the single wire in the SS to pass the +5v through to the other side. lol Plus, I rather like the look of the SS - wouldn't mind stuffing 32k in it actually! But what's up with the alligator-jaw flap in front that seemingly serves absolutely no purpose? As a kid, I used to hide certain things: jewelry, money, pocket knives, snuff, trinkets - whatever in there. Worked extremely well, lemme tell 'ya!

+OLD CS1 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Supposed to be for mini-cartridges which could supplement the SS's resident vocabulary, IIRC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 OLD CS1 is correct. The earliest speech boxes had a 20-pin connector back behind that door. None of the cartridges ever made it into the wild though--the Speech Editor module replaced that plan. . . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dphirschler Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 The internal speech mod is on my todo list. I have it already de-cased and have de-soldered the connector. Just need to take the time to solder it in there. It's especially important for me since my console is beige (no matching ss).

Rowland Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 My unit is at Canadian Customs. I'm soooo excited! My s/o calls me a 15 year old kid in a 60 year old body! . And the excitement will build because the unit should arrive just after I leave town for a couple of weeks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 I hope people who have received these are enjoying them. I'm currently waiting on the second batch of pcboards from OSHPark, and then back to soldering them up as quickly as I can. -M@ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I'm amazed Greg hasn't put together a Christmas Package yet...maybe because he's out of stock? It would be the perfect marketing move, the FlashROM99 and the Plug-N-Pay 32K as a combo-deal. "Hey honey.. this is what I want for Christmas!"
