Regulus Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 It looks like the programs for TI-99/4A computer. I want to make sure these papers have been already copied and available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 That is the cassette routine from GROM 0 of the console. There is a lot more to those. I scanned all of the data from GROM 0 in using a set of docs I received from Doug Warren last year, but as he noted, there were several missing pages in the set he had, so we might be lucky and find out the ones you have contain one or more of those missing pages. That said, your set may go beyond the routines in GROM 0 and into the rest of the BASIC interpreter in GROMs 1 and 2. We do not have original TI vommented source code for those. The pieces we do have are attached here. console source.zip 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will go back and locate which pages are missing and post them. It would be great if you had them. I'll be back........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what is missing: GROM0 is missing >0C46 - >0C6A GROM0 is missing the keyboard/joystick tables at the end of the GROM GROM2 is missing the first page of equates GROM2 is missing two pages >5156 - 51A2 I would like to get all of these if you have them. Thx! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lee Stewart Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Though not the original commented code from a TI GPL Assembler, Heiner Martin’s TI-99/4A Intern (in the pinned “TI-99/4A development resources” thread) has all three GROMs listed. ...lee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Thank you very much for hunting through what you had to locate the missing pages of the console GROM source code. This makes analysis of what TI was up to so much easier. . . Most programmers used the disassembled copy that Heiner Martin used in his book, TI Intern until @FALCOR4 provided what he had to the community a couple of years ago. Heiner's disassembly was good, but his comments could only include what he was able to deduce from that disassembly. How did you manage to obtain your copy of the source code? It wasn't widely available within the community BITD, and as you saw from what we had already, it wasn't always complete. I am really glad you found the copy you have though. If you happen to have any additional TI source code, that too would be useful. We've been gathering every bit of source from TI and third party developers we could find to share it with the community. Once again, many thanks for preserving this. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FALCOR4 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Yes, thank you very much for these! This completes my binder that I've had for almost 35 years with those missing pages! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Thank you for the background and for the additional source code file! It is always interesting to see the paths that individual files took on their way to the present community. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is code for a TI plotting routine that I still have on cassette. Thank you so much for sharing this. I've never seen the source code before, quite a find. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
