Saving programs

[gheller-iii]

I have some rudimentary programs I wrote (hey, I was 9 at the time ) as well as some other books on TI Basic and would like to start dabbling again. I haven't picked up a program recorder yet, nor have I made the investment in a PEB (yet!).

 

Should I look to just start out with a program recorder? Since I've seen different hardware development over time, perhaps that's just "old fashioned" and there's a better way. (e.g. storage peripheral that uses SD cards?) I didn't see any though, just the units for the PEB I think.

 

Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

So far the only real storage solution is the original PEB. There was a NanoPEB/CF7+ unit that combined Virtual Disk drives on a CF Card (you could mount them as you wanted), 32k and Serial/Parallel options but they are no longer made.

 

Hopefully will the new development going on in the TI-99 Space we will see maybe a smaller modular design of a smaller foot-printed type PEB.

 

You could always use emulation on yoru PC such as:

 

• MESS/MAME (you will need to get the bios for the systems to use this)
• Classic99
• Win994A

 

These are just a few of them. Many of us TI'ers can develop on the Emulation and save it to disk images to mount by the emulators.

 

Look into getting TIIMAGETOOL and TI99DIR
