KBRpilot Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Hello, I recently found a TI99/4A in a local thrift store and since I have been fascinated with the system and am a retro gamer, I decided to get it and start collecting for it. Though I had a TRS80 Model 1, an Atari 800XL and also a C64c in the 80's I never had this computer so I'm pretty new to it. Recently I got some games and have been enjoying playing with it (have a video of the unboxing the games on my Youtube channel) and an old Radio Shack CCR-81 recorder that I have works well with it. I would also like to be able to play disk games, but since this is a system I get out when I want to use it and put it away when not using it, the big 1/2 tower like case for the disk drive add-on is a bit inconvenient for me. Looking for alternatives, I learned about the NanoPEB. I use similar options for my Atari 800 and my C128. Does anyone know if it's still possible to buy a NanoPEB and if so, where? Thanks for any help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelpedant Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 The NanoPEB is currently in stock in Arcade Shopper's store, which is generally our TI goods vendor of choice, around here. They also go up on EBay pretty regularly. A lot of people go with the TIPI these days instead, but the NanoPEB does remain my preference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Hey and welcome.. first off make sure you look at the FAQ (pinned post) I have nanopeb's in stock and 32k/TIPI sidecars if you want to go that route at my store at arcadeshopper.com .. TIPI's are shipping next month. I wrote this blog entry on the TIPI and address it's capabilities over the nanopeb.. https://www.arcadeshopper.com/wp/?p=297 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having owned both, I highly recommend the 32K/TIPI/RPi route. It's more money, but gives you WAY MORE capability than the Nano-PEB. You only get what you pay for and in the case of the TIPI, it's a LOT MORE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wierd_w Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Once arcadeshopper gets his preorders out, I will find out myself. I overextended this month on toys though. Gonna have to cut back for awhile. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
