Externals, though, are usually parallel port and you definitely need a driver for those. For systems that know ATAPI and SCSI, yes, but ATAPI is not exactly the same command set as ATA, I don't think the sector read/write functions work the same way. https://wiki.osdev.org/ATAPI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, SD carts like the FinalGROM99 and other options already mentioned make it so this is unnecessary on the TI-99/4A, but thought I'd chime in that you weren't far off with your idea, @Mehridian Sanders! Thank you kindly. Least I have a drive to throw up on Ebay. After I find a way to get the disk out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I find a way to get the disk out of it. The metal loop at the upper-left of the drive is a manual eject pull. Loop a paper clip around it and pull gently. The drive will eject. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
