What is YOUR primary TI storage device?

[Omega-TI]

Over the decades since TI abandoned us 99/4A users, technology has evolved and with it some of us may have switched our primary storage away from the old mechanical storage devices, while still retaining the older devices, or abandoning the legacy devices altogether.  This poll is not going to differentiate between Nano's, HxC's, TIPI's or whatever, basically it's between mechanical and solid state devices.  There are a few questions regarding specific legacy equipment, but that is more to gauge current trends away from such devices, if indeed it is happening at all.

on my Primary TI, I have use a IDE card with a IDE2SD adapter and for the Floppy Disk, i have replaced the physical media floppy with a Gotek.  And of course the TiPi..

I'd say I used 5.25 and Hard Disk together - most of the time.  However, since TiPI - it's SD card - and for primary floppy drives it's a Lotharek Floppy-SD device.

I still have a cassette with a M.B. Hangman wordlist i use from time to time.

My reason for picking "other" is as follows: On my FG99, i have the patched Minimem image, and i have a copy of the Basic game MORPHY on there.

I was contemplating getting a real Minimem, but the FG99 version is working good so i'll probably pass on getting a real one.

 

I also have the Tipi on my main TI, and my spare TI is setup with a Nanopeb.

This season I've been booting from floppy,5-1/4", but my main files are on tipi backed to laptop. I do try to get a copy pushed to my gotek too since it's there.

But tipi makes a difference.

I have scsi with SD storage, hard drives. Hfdc, mfm hard drives and all floppy to include hxd and gotek. Ide controllers and harddrives and so forth.

I have  2 SCSI drives, but I often now back them up to a IBM PC Hard drives running PC99

The IBM PC drives are 80 times the size of the 2 SCSI drives. i.e. 60 Meg and 80 Meg 

Oh and sometimes to 4 Gig DVD drives so have a hard copy.

On my primary peb system I use mostly the tipi storage device, but also my attached two 5,25“ floppy drives and one 3,5“ floppy drive.

Sometimes for archiever stuff I‘m using the HRD4000B Ramdisk.

 

On my second peb system I use mostly my three 3,5“ floppy drives and sometimes the fourth attached 5,25“ floppy drive.

 

On my 7/24 running bbs system I’m using the tipi storage device too.

nanoPEB only. disk drive and cassette drive now no longer work.

 

[GDMike]

Cassette might need cap upgrades. Disk drive with nanopeb? Or the Peb disk drive?

My primary system is a Geneve with a Myarc HFDC with a DREM using a SD card emulating a hard drive.  It has a TIPI on it as well.

 

My "secondary" system is a TI with a SCSI card with an IDE emulator using a SD card emulating a hard drive.  It has a TIPI on it as well.
