Wow I never knew this existed! I knew about corcomps version of the peb, but never this.... That is awesome!!

I just mailed one off to him yesterday. I didn't test it, but for free hopefully it will do the trick

Awesome! I just ordered the disk drive that omega linked too also so I am sure I will need some help once it all arrives

You had a pretty good sized one this past year! I still need to pick up one of those games multi carts we were talking about. I had to fly out from Minnesota so maybe I'll try to get to Chicago this year since it's closer...

Awesome thank you sir! I purchased a TEAC FD-55B on Jim's recommendation and so that will be coming in the mail soon! Hopefully I can find another one for a reasonable price or maybe I will get a 3.5" half height drive like Chris recommended. When it comes time to upgrade to 360K I will definitely ask for your assistance Thanks everyone for the help so far. This AA TI-99/4a forums group is just such an invaluable resource to the community. Such awesome people!!!

Any enclosures available for these drives? Do I need a nuclear generate to run this beast or will my PEB power it?

Will this work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-TEAC-5-25-Internal-Floppy-Disk-Drive-FD-55f-03-U-/301836836695?hash=item4646e09f57:g:yTcAAOSwSHZWhASq Looks like it has the right edge connector on the back and the 4 pin molex connector? I do see a 55B but it is like 8X as much with shipping :\ I would need to do the DSR mod to use the drive in this link correct?

Oh man that would be awesome! Does anyone have the ability to test the 8" mod? I would totally buy a drive if I could find one for $200 or less working (...and knew that I could connect it to my TI)

So Rasmus made this amazing Mario game ... I get home from holidays at the in-laws and jump on AA and see that ...argh it is 180K. I have two 5.25" original full height floppy disk drives hooked up to a TI disk controller card in my PEB as DSK1 and DSK2. Both have a capacity of 360 or 90K, which has always been fine for me since I like the...errrr... 'challenge' of using original hardware sometimes. However... I did finally upgrade to the F18A when I just couldn't stand not having all the cool new stuff a year or less ago.. This begs the question: I have heard there is a way to modify the disk controller card so that my drives could be DSSD instead of SSSD or maybe it is SSDD(?), either way so they are 720 / 180K ? Second question: I have ZERO soldering skills (thank you Mathew Haggerty for the socketed f18a!), I do not even own a soldering iron. Is there an upstanding citizen who might be possibly willing to do this mod for me? I would pay for all of the shipping, parts, etc. of course. Maybe Fritz or Arcadeshopper? Shift838? Other fine people? I have an extra disk controller card so I could just send that without having to pull apart my current system. I could be totally wrong and this mod might not exist? Or maybe I don't have to solder to do it? Or maybe there is a card already available that I just need to buy somewhere? Thanks in advance for any help/direction! <EDIT -- ARGH how about 5.25">

So awesome. Thanks so much for this!

I need this. P.S. Amazing podcast!!!! ....as Greg said, looking forward to the next 10 episodes.

Oops

Legends I and II, deep dark caves, and tunnels of doom? That's about it for the TI I think?

Okay I was switching a lot of carts and disks plus using the widget so maybe that was it.... Risk seems pretty sweet? Never really played the board game (don't hate me), but I figured since it was new to the TIgameshelf I would give it a go ....graphics look ok and sound is fine? ....so far lol, can't really progress.

So I blew up my ti and got the black screen with green text saying f18 and Matthew and tursi and rasmus And so..... Heh what did I do? System seems to work fine now but maybe too many cart swaps? Second question I downloaded risk but.... How the heck do I play it? I get to the map and I'm stuck? Thank in advance for any help!

Nothing else To related but I do have some other video game retro stuff. I think based on reactions though I will just sell it locally.

My screen says 63.04 in shipping. 42 dollars difference I guess based on location.

Hey guys, This is MY post. It is finally time to clean out the extra stuff lying around. I put shipping at 70 pounds at let eBay calculate the rest. Sorry if it seems overpriced? As for the untested part I haven't fired this thing up in 2/3 years and never as a whole unit. It did have some issues if I remember correctly it did run, but seemed to crash at times. I don't want to pull apart my current system and individually test each component (32k, power cable, fuses, disk controller card, flex cable interface card, connections, etc. etc. etc.). I thought by listing this as untested (which it is since it has been a few years) I would just save myself and the buyer the headache. If it all works perfect, great. if something doesn't work or needs to be cleaned? Well I think we have all been there. I tried to list the price WELL below normal eBay type auctions (Disk controller alone can go for $60?) to give someone a good deal starting out. I have dealt with Karsul, Shift838, Tony Knerr, Fritz and among others on this forum and hope that our interactions / sales / trades / etc. have all been agreeable. I do not want to be pegged as an eBay scammer, but I am not that. Thoughts? I will unpost this listing if the community at large thinks this is egregious.

Only rpgs I have played are legends I and II and of course ToD. ....let us know how it is please

Nice collection!!

I only met Tony earlier this year when he shipped me one of his amazing multi carts. He always was so helpful on this forum. A fountain of TI knowledge is lost forever. My thought and prayers to the family and friends, much too young.

Awesome!! Traveling out to portland with a buddy: Jeff Geske Rochester, MN Would be a cool surprise if he got a badge too

Dan Nixon Rochester, MN No fees or anything?

Oh yea! Just bought my plane tickets to portland yesterday!

I can't even break 10k .... You guys aren't going to make me take a picture of that are you?
