AtariNostalgia Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I'm a little confused about it. Does it include 32K of RAM expansion? Can you save programs on it? Does it include Extended Basic? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 No the 32K of RAM needs to be connected to the TI to run 32K programs. Yes you can save downloadable programs on it"s SD card, but for the most part it is not designed to be used as a disk drive. Yes you can get Extended BASIC for it.

AtariNostalgia Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Thanks for the quick reply, So I can't use Extended Basic to write a program and save it on the Cartridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Correct, you cannot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariNostalgia Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 This is getting expensive. I feel like I'm back in the 80s (well, almost).So I need the FinalGrom, put my Speech Synthesizer on the right, place a 32K expander on the right of that, and something with an SD card? to save programs to.

Casey Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Correct. The FinalGROM is not a program storage device; rather it’s a cartridge image storage device. For program storage you’d need a NanoPEB, a TIPI, a cassette recorder, or something else along those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct.. Finalgrom99 for cartridge, 32k or 1mb SAMS sidecar for expansion RAM (1mb SAMS includes the 32k and has the ram for new games like Realms of Antiquity and others) and then I'd recommend a TIPI for hard disk on sdcard.. it also will emulate floppy drive devices to folders on the drive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
