Mehridian Sanders Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I recently ran across the TI VPU 200... a portable (if you're He-Man) computer with 5 1/4" drive. The Processor is the TMS9900JDL. Is there a way to incorporate any of these main boards into the 99/4a? Perchance utilize any of the IC's ? anyway of being useful? Thanks in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FarmerPotato Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I've not heard of this til now. Here's some info I googled https://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/640383-Found-Ti-VPU-200-any-info I think it would be more interesting on its own, than parted out. (It's easy to get chips by themselves.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOME AUTOMATION Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I read something in the manual about... 8192 RELAYS! Not sure if that's physical output though... My design only has 4096. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d try to get it working, but with no floppy disk for the OS that might be a non starter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mehridian Sanders Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Unfortunately I lost the bid. Due to a dispute with a brother In law. I apologize here for counting my chickens before they were hatched.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
