Shift838 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I am going to check my beige unit to see if it is QI also. My expansion port has copper finger so I am hoping it is not QI. Dave (arcadeshopper) Now that I know what I am looking at I found great items on your website. I should have inquired to you before assuming out-of-stock was permanent. I like the low profile atari adaptor and I now see the need for the NANOPEB instead of just the 32K memory board. Are there a lot of cassette and disk software available? what format are they in? All i see are .bin files. There is a slew of software you can download disk images and alike. you can poke around on the WHTECH ftp site (ftp://ftp.whtech.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I remember long ago I watched "Independence Day" at the movies; there was one scene when Jeff Goldblum turned on his computer, and it greeted "Good morning Dave". I almost burst in laughter in the theater, but I had to painfully realize that I was the only one ... Is that the point where you have to admit you're getting old? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkdrummer Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I also thought it was pretty funny when Cheech vibrated the car seat springs from injesting Rosarita refries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Hey, I didn't need the Cheech&Chong skit to remember Sister Mary Elephant. All of my grade school teachers were Nuns. . .and all of my high school teachers were Priests and Brothers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 when i think of nuns, i think of Blues Brothers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think of Sally Fields as the Flying Nun (or going back further Rosalind Russell in The Trouble with Angels) And Ksarul, I too was taught by Nuns (and priests) and have the scars (psychological and physical) to prove it <evil grin>.

Everett1954 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 Sorry Greg......don't know why I called you Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everett1954 Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 So i guess I lucked out and got a non-QI model, date at bottom of startup screen said 1981. Adamantyr sent me a nice get started package so i could at least try it out. Everything seems to work just fine, The TI joysticks are not bad but they do not like to stay plugged into the side DB-9. Side mount is not a great place for joystick port. Have others encountered joysticks coming out of connector? So now Im waiting for a FlashROM99/FinalGROM 99 and a nanoPEB. Ok, is there a way to restart a cartridge game without powering on/off system? I believe Parsec mentions REDO or back key. Which key is REDO and back arrow did not seem to work.

Which key is REDO and back arrow did not seem to work. This may help (assuming you don;t have a key strip) These are the function keys (use FCTN and the key - Quit will (nearly) always bring you back to the TI main title page. Arrows usually require the function key too - and often need the caps lock on (joysticks ALWAYS need it off)) Edited June 11, 2017 by PeBo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everett1954 Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 Thanks, that helps quite a bit, i have a bunch of blank key strips but none like above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinphaltimus Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) Funny thing. when I attached my key strip to my USB keyboard I did not realize it was my last one. I took it off a dead console (plastic mount bar and all). The other console I have in use had a blank one so I had to hand write on it for the shortcuts. So my unmodded console has a handwritten strip and my PC keyboard has an original. Go figure. BTW - In case you didn't know already (I didn't scroll up to reread entire topic) - http://ti994a.cwfk.net/TiUsbKeys.html Edited June 11, 2017 by Sinphaltimus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeBo Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Thanks, that helps quite a bit, i have a bunch of blank key strips but none like above. then you're gonna love THIS thread. contains every strip ever printed (at least I think it's complete) plus a variety of other groovy tidbits.
