Turbo-Torch Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 The show was really great this year. I didn't make it to Tech Track day, which was Friday, but was there most of Saturday and Sunday. The very rare Tandy 3 was cool to see in person and I really liked the plotters cranking out pictures all day long. I'm not into printers, but I may have to find one of them. I'm already looking forward to next year's event. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr SQL Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Awesome pics! Frogger was awesome with the digitized sound through the cassette port too! Here's my Tandy semigraphics Assembly pic I drew on one of my EDTASM work disks for inspiration! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have for moving files from a modern pc and of course acts as a harddrive thanks for the pics. My first computer was my Model III which I still have and will never get rid of. Years later I bought an EX and it was so much fun. All the local BBSs were IBM based, so it opened a whole new world within minutes after unboxing it. Eventually I wanted a hard drive and the aftermarket kit for the EX was stupid expensive. It ended up being far cheaper to sell the EX and buy an SL with a 32mb hard card. Deep down, I missed the EX. I don't have much interest in computers outside the Model III, but I have been searching for a good local deal on an EX. If one ever turns up for a decent price, I'll outfit it like yours. I think there were 2 HXs at the show this year, didn't see an EX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digress Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 The SL was a good version too with the DAC and 640x200x16 colour special mode.m My friend had one. I got a 1000 TL two 1000 EX 's and 1 1000 HX I really like the all in on nature of the ex/hx. Easy to take out of storage off the shelf and use right away with minimal setup.
