When you converse with someone you cannot expect completely correct statements. Rather, it depends on how confident the person conveys a statement. Don't compare artificial intelligence to an encyclopedia. When conversing with an intelligent being, you do not know under what circumstances the synapses in the brain have found each other to actually make the statement that you get during a conversation. So I don't expect an executable program in one of the basic dialects for the TI99. So I see ChatGPT as a next step towards the future, which the community has proven in recent years that the TI99 is quite capable of doing, despite its age. Microsoft - who bought ChatGPT for a handful of dollars- will integrate it with Bing and Edge, also sees it that way. At the moment, ChatGPT probably cannot say where his own journey will lead to. So we hope that the interface will stay with us there on the PI. For example - Powershell is also available for the PI. Otherwise the PI also has a free license for Wolfram Alpha. (Sorry for using translate.google.de) 🙂

Thanks very much ! That's all the information I need. By the way... If you don't support something, it can't get any better.

Hi, sorry for beeing late. Yes I am interesset, if it is not too late. How can I get them ? Greetings Axel

This entry is for Jedmiatt42, the inventor of the TIPI. One tool on everyone's lips these days... ChatGPT. I read an article about ChatGPT on the Raspberry PI, which already has a programming interface to it. The Tipi is based on this system and I thought: What if there is an interaction between ChatGPT and the Ti99 using the Tipi. A 40 year old computer that can answer the questions of the universe and writes its own programs... All you would need would be 3 pipes from the TI99 to the TIPI in the DSR ROM. The first direction to the Raspberry, the second to the TI99 display and the 3rd directly as an output on the floppy to write your own programs yourself. Now if anyone thinks I took a too hot shower this morning. Yes, of course! But start ChatGPT and ask him for a program in MicroPython on the PI Pico for a traffic light control with the sequence green, green yellow, red. ChatGPT writes you a finished program. And damn it.... the TI99 has the techniques to use this thanks to TIPI if there's still some room in the DSR Rom. Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge and I don't have the time to develop it. I also have to use translate.google.com for the English translation, sorry for that. But maybe it will provide some inspiration. Greetings from someone who grew up with the TI99 in his youth and thinks the development of the system over the last few years is really cool! Axel

Hi, sorry my mistake. I wanted to ask for TinkerCad because the pictures above look if you use TinkerCad. In TinkerCad you are able to share projects. Thats the Reason for my E-Mail Adresse above. My Tronxy x3s is a little bit older, but I am able to print 330x330x400 mm. Hope it should be enough for the STL Files.

The gerbers are still not in the Github Repository ? Is it possible to get them ?

I am interested in testing. Can you build it yourself or order it? Greetings Axel

Can you share this with me on KiCad? axel.ahlborn@online.de Greetings Axel

How do I know if a binary image larger than 8k was served as inverted bank switching? Hardware Projects (hexbus.com) You cannot use binaries for Flashrom or Finalgrom. Thats all I know... On whtech I did not find something like this. Stuart Connor has this binaries on his homepage for the browser and Cortex Basic.

For some manufacturers, you can derive the date and place of manufacture from the serial number. E.g. with the HP41. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem possible with the TI99. Greetings Axel

You got a message. I am very interested 🙂

Sorry if I'm not following the thread correctly, which is due to my imperfect english. I understand that the Dragons Lair module is sold out. If there is a way to get this, either used or in a new edition, that would be great....

When a prototype is ready I'm happy to buy a third TI99 to support testing.

Hello, beginner question .... ? are there cartridges for the TI99 that only work with ROM without GROM? Some days ago I found the 64K Cartridge Board Rev 03c. Thanks to JLCPCB I now have 10 of these boards at home. And a little Arduino Based EPROM Programmer for 32K EPROMS. With which programs for the TI99 can I play something here? Greetings Axel

Do you think it is possible to run Knight Lore on real Hardware on a TI99 with Finalgrom99 and jedimatt42 32k expansion? Greetings Axel

Hello, is there a way to see from the outside which video processor is installed? For example: Produced in USA, sold in Great Britain.

To be honest, I was afraid that the waiting time was related to HDMI licensing issues. But since the TI is already 40 years old, we are happy to wait for the F18Amk2. Is it possible to support the project? Greetings Axel

Hans, now I am on your waiting list too. Thank you. Greetings Axel

Some providers offer the possibility to share a project, for example PCBWAY or OSH Park. For example https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/tlkbFvs3 or https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/ Doing login, goto "Shared Projects", select something like "F18A", and put it to your basket. That´s it.... My problem is the files needed to populate the board with SMD components. The BOM and the file for SMD assembly - position and orientation. Yes I speak english but the instructions are too complex for me and my opportunity to translate english to german. So I need help to order the hole project with SMD Components already assembled. And if I ask for support here, everyone should benefit from it. Greetings Axel

If there is any chance to get one. Please think of me ! Greetings Axel

There are now many service providers who offer assembly in addition to the circuit board. Has anyone already had experience with it? For example aisler.net, PCBWAY, JLCPCB or OSH Park. It must be possible to prepare the information in such a way that the circuit board including assembly can be ordered. Then everyone should be satisfied, because then it only matters that the IC is available. Greetings Axel

Hi, is there any chance to get a F18A for my TI99 ? I live in germany. Don't know where to buy it. Greetings Axel
