InfernalKeith Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 200428044512 These tend to sell very quickly, so if you're thinking of grabbing one, now's the time.

+retroclouds Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I just ordered my 3rd one For those who don't know this device. It has 32K RAM memory and reads compact flash cards that contain TI-99 disk images. This little piece of equipment replaces my peripheral expansion box for most of my requirements. Combined with TI-DIR (file manager running on windows, looks like norton commander), it's a piece of cake transferring TI-99/4A software between your PC and TI-99/4A. All development I do is done on a PC with emulator and then tested on the TI-99/4A itself using this device. A very cool device Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/156494-compact-flash-drive-for-ti-994a-available-on-ebay/#findComment-1920299 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about to go plug it into my TI 99/4A. I may actually be able to send you guys my game without having to mail someone a floppy disk! Ain't technology grand.

What I'd like to see if a model that has AMS support, so we can have 1024k of CPU memory on the console. I've been trying to hook Jaime up with Joe Delekto, one of the principal AMS designers, for some time, but with no success.

unhuman Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Got mine today... I'd've preferered a cable just to give me more flexibility with a hack.

snume Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 While I need to get one of these CF+7 babies, I still need to populate my PEB as well. Anyone looking to get rid of their PEB cards now that the CF7+ is fitting the bill for them or anyone who has any extra PEB cards send me a PM and we'll work something out. I've had my TI since 1982 but never could afford the PEB (always drooled over it in the catalogs/magazines) and now I've gotten serious about it. The enthusiasm within this TI community is also quite infectious and I need to start dabbling in the programming as well. To that effect, I'll likely need Extended Basic, Editor/Assembler and other programming goodies as well.

Steve I'll be putting a Myarc disk controller card and a CorComp RS232 up on Ebay later tonight. I can post links here if you're interested. Other than that, I've got more empty PEB's than I have cards, or I'd love to help out. I'm trying to maintain a full PEB system and a separate TI with a CorComp 9900 Mini Expansion system, plus a CF7+. Still not sure where I'm gonna PUT both of them, but eventually I hope to have quite the war room set up. After doing some work in Classic99, obviously I love the convenience of it, but I think I'm gonna go back to the real thing for development. I just get more satisfaction out of working on my original hardware -- I'm sure it's all in my head, but it's there, so I'm gonna do it. Definitely hoping to do some Classic99 work on the laptop while on vacation soon, though. Being able to take a "TI" with me is incredible -- I remember a few years ago, when I was gonna try to get back into programming another time, and I spent a good chunk of Christmas at my sister's house with graph paper, notebooks and the XB manual, scrawling stuff till 4am that I can't even decipher now. If I'd been able to actually code on the spot then, I might have gotten back into programming four years earlier...

Opry99er Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Hey Steve, good to see ya buddy... Listen I've got a CorComp RS232 and a flex cable interface sitting here not doing anything if you need 'em. Might even have a full height 5.25 floppy and a possible disk controller too. If you don't have all you need, let me know. I wouldn't charge for the items--- just pay for shipping. If it will bring another programmer into the community, it's worth it to me, for sure.

I'm sure it doesn't have a drive so I will pm you with my address and you can let me know what I'll owe you for shipping. Awesome!!

Tempest Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 There aren't that many useful PEB cards. All you really need is a connector card (obviously), a disk controller card, and a 32K memory card. There's a P-Code card, but that's rare and kind of worthless unless you really like PASCAL and of course the RS-232 card, but that's not all that useful anymore either. I know someone managed to hack the voice module onto a PEB card, but I've never seen one for sale (I'd love to have that one). There are some modern hobbyist cards as well, but I know much about them.
