ChuckTeed Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Picked up a TRS-80/TI-99 for the cartridge games, but ended up with these as well. Anyone give me any intel on them? I'm guessing they won't do me much good, but maybe I'll be surprised. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyDean Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 If they work, they are both still usable on your ti console, nice find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lot came with both computers, joysticks, cartridges, and the sidecars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wierd_w Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 the disk controller works with shugart style drives (which most PC drives actually were, just with some jumpers missing/set, which can be gotten around with a doctored ribbon cable). If you can score a 32k, and a finalgrom99, you will be in business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming since it's for cartridge games it's the CoCo. Which model of CoCO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
