I made some slight adjustments to the VGA plate in the back of my TI. And I thought I would share some more photos. These two show the VGA plate with audio in the back all finished up. You may notice new screws holding the plate in place. These look a little nicer and are flush mounted. You can't mount the audio too close to the video otherwise, the plug may not have room. Here's some photos showing the plate as the console is taken apart. One of the photos shows the old screws holding the plate in place, Darryl

So I am ready to tackle this problem again. I am convinced my friend and I were using this code that used either the corcomp hardware or the myarc. I'd like help changing this loader code. I haven't worked with this ti stuff in a long time. Darryl

I wound up desoldering them. I'd still like to identify the bad chip so I can throw it out. Darryl

Today, I saw a munchman diskette (official TI) on eBay. I didn't know that existed. Says loads with EA or XB. I'd be interested in checking out the load program. http://www.ebay.com/itm/131804311235 Darryl

Geez! The shipping! $9.82 to ship this thing! Must be in a solid gold box. Darryl

You crack me up. LOL. I appreciate both of your offers. I sent you both a PM. I want to try them both out. Also, if one of these turns out to be perfect, I'd like to somehow find out who the supplier is so maybe I can order some... and perhaps even pay it forward someday. Darryl

Nice! Did you get a 16" cable or something shorter? Darryl

I would like to make an extension cable for my NanoPEB. It currently plugs in so tight that I feel like I am damaging the NanoPEB when I try to unplug it. Can I have some help finding the parts I need? Darryl

It must've been the threat of a heat gun that did it. Darryl

What is the mcd value? Do you remember? Darryl

Thanks! I took a long hiatus. Life got me busy. My TI was taken apart all this time waiting for me to finish the VGA mod. Darryl

Did you ever find the blues? I'd like to get some. I don't like the white. It's just too bright. Darryl

Thanks guys! This forum rocks. Darryl

Link is bad. Can somebody help me get this program, please. Darryl

Wow! This is the most exciting thing I've seen in a long while for the TI! Can't wait to get mine. Darryl

Oh, and for anybody wanting to have a go at cutting the plastic on the TI case, know this: - It cuts very easily with a dremel. Go slow. - Sharpie is perfect for marking where you want to cut. It wipes away easily with alcohol. Darryl

The audio connections can be seen in the first photo of the TI mobo I posted. Look for two pins soldered in place in the lower right corner where the old A/V connector used to be. Darryl

@retroclouds - OK, when finalizing my F18A VGA mod, I had the audio accidentally connected backwards. And it was very faint (and noisy). Swapped them and it's loud as hell again. So if your audio is faint, try swapping the wires. Darryl

Finally got around to finishing my F18A mod. Here is the final result. I de-soldered the original AV connector on the TI mobo. Then I soldered in two fairly low profile pins for the audio. I made a little connector that fits on those pins. Finally, a top-down shot to show how the connectors do not interfere with the monitor's base. I think the VGA and audio come out of the TI console at just the right location. Darryl

Guessing it's a beige model? The Mitsumi keyboards suck. They just suck. There are beige keyboards that are not mitsumi (and therefore do not suck). You can tell them in the ebay auctions by the green circuit board for the keyboard, visible through the air slots on the bottom. Brown circuitboard=suck; green circuitboard=good. Darryl

What I like about the black consoles without the "Solid State" badge is that the keyboard overlay tray is redesigned (similar to the beige consoles) so that the overlays can stack. Darryl

Well, the guy didn't know what it was. No surprise it sold for less. Also, looked like it had some repair work done on it. Darryl

OK, well if I get a black console from you, I'd need a power supply too. Darryl

I'd love that monitor, please. How much to ship to GA 30152?
