How many setup and operating TI systems do you have running in your home?

How many different TI-99/4A systems do you currently have setup and operating in your home?

Does Geneve count?

Yes!

[+Schmitzi]

Voted. I am sooo alone ?

[Count9929A]

does emulation count as one more system?

I have TI99 + real PEB and TI99 + nanoPEB, but the TI99 is the same. Does it count 1 or 2?

Indeed I have a second TI99, but since the keyboard does not work (MITSUMI grr) I am forced to use the same console with the two PEBs

[pixelpedant]

Just the one.  Another's in storage.  Just don't need two at once, pretty much ever. 

 

Especially given JS99er, Classic99 and MAME are almost always better development systems than a real iron TI-99/4A. 

 

Only excuses for running two simultaneously, that I run into, are novelty purposes.

 

Like my current plan to get two TI-99s (with two speech synthesizers) singing Simon & Garfunkel's Scarborough Fair/Canticle in two part harmony ^{(has science gone too far???)}

[apersson850]

I have kind of two and a half, since some of the parts I have doesn't make complete systems.

I do have two TI Peripheral Expansion boxes, and one home-built (for a different purpose), and since they are the largest and most prominent pieces, they are perhaps what counts.

@Omega-TI you should include the FPGA cores (MiSTer / Mist) in the list.

that would push me to 5..

 

[+DuaneAL]

I have 1 setup and 7 total. 2 of those are screechers so 5 functional.  I will be retiring in a year and a half and hope to fix the two screechers then (or sooner if time opens up).

I full time console+Peb

1 emulator laptop.

A shelf of bad components that could build another system!!

A geneve getting boxed for shipping out 

For video hw testing.

And a PEB case housing my laptop ext hd drives, a tape backup and a raspberry pi.

I would be curious to see how many users with at least 1 fully set up TI system also have other vintage systems fully set up as well (NOT sitting on a shelf or in storage but actively being used).

Personally, I have a Coleco Adam system which is in very active use  and it has been heavily competing for my limited free time lately with the TI system, at least until my next TI project ?

I'm sure I'm not the only one by far with active interests in multiple vintage system...

[Tursi]

I don't have anything set up yet.. but I've got the TI, Apple 2, Amiga 2000 and Atari ST systems ready to roll.

@Vorticon  On the same Desktop with my TI99+PEB, I also have the C64ultimate, A1200, Olivetti Prodest PC1, a PC.

All them are connected using only 2 monitor ?

That has got to be a massive desk! And a LOT of divided attention ?

[ti99iuc]

@Vorticon  not so massive desk ? it is all into a space of 80 x 64 inches but I used double and triple shelves and monitor attached to the wall. everything is interlocking

I'd love to see a photo!

[Kchula-Rrit]

I suppose I have two-and-a-half systems.

The only one I use with any regularity is "Tortise," a console with F18a, NanoPEB-SIO, USB radio-keyboard, and a rechargeable battery power supply.

"Snail" is totally stock console as a reference system.  It has PE Box with TI-FDC, HFDC, 5.25-inch floppy, 3.5-inch floppy, SIO, 32K RAM.

"Slug" is the unfortunate victim of my attempt to add a RAM expansion 30 years ago.  I'm hoping to revive it for some experiments.

 

K-R.

 

[Shift838]

I have 2 TI systems setup.  1 with a PEB and the other with a 32k side + TiPi.

 

then of course I have the Geneve and also emulation for TI and Geneve.

 

 

[RickyDean]

I got into the ti scene abruptly in the 1992 to 95 years. Have some stuff left from selling at the faires and quit as abruptly due to family reasons. Have about 7 Peb's, in various states of disrepair, 7 or 8 complete TI'S, same as above. And a bunch of cards and carts and motherboards. 3 Geneves and others. So yes I have 5 or more systems. Lol.

[Asmusr]

I have 3-4 consoles, but none of them are set up at the moment up with screen, power, peripherals, etc. so I chose emulation only. I'm just a wannabe ?.

[JB]

I have one fully armed and operational at present, with black and metal console and loaded p-box(32K, RS-232, floppy controller, TIPI).

And a beige console ready and waiting in reserve with a second p-box(32K, RS-232, floppy controller, Horizon).

 

 

(I actually intend to put an F18A in the beige unit once they are available. )
