airernie Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Some of you may know or have met Dave Connery at one of the Chicago TI Faires. He passed away a few years ago and I assisted the estate with liquidating his TI/Geneve items. Among his items were some SyQuest EZ135 cartridges. I transfered several of them to the PC using Michael's TI Image Tool. The files are in TIFILES format and can be viewed with Fred's Ti99Dir. Both TI Image Tool and Ti99Dir can be used to transfer the files to a disk or other image. The files have been uploaded to my site. They are also available on the Chicago users group web page if for some reason my site isn't available. There is a mix of TI/Geneve files and mulitiple duplicates. Some useful, some not. url: ftp.pergrem.com user: ti994a password: DqN#B%03aSCp Feel free to share these with other users.

I still have one beige and one black & silver TI-99/4A. Also, an empty expansion system (pbox) with silent fan, some disks, cassettes, flex interface, etc. Not a lot, but still free if someone wants it.

Opry99er Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I wish I lived nearby. I'd be on your doorstep tonight!! I imagine we could find quite a bit to talk about as well. If I DID love nearby, I wouldn't miss a single CTIUG meeting, that's for sure.

airernie Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hi Owen, I wish! Having someone nearby might actually inpire me to pickup TMS9900 programming again. Other than helping Marc with the SidPlay 99 program I've done very little programming in the past few years.

It's probably easier getting them from you since a password isn't required.

Hi Owen, As long as time isn't a major consideration.. I tend to be a bit of a butterfly when it comes to working on things these days. I think I have more than a touch of senior induced a.d.d.

slinkeey Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Ernie, Were you a TI dealer at one time? A friend of mine at work said he seems to remember someone from Elgin that was a TI distributer back in the 80's. Ran an ad in the paper looking for employees or whatever..

airernie Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 No, although somewhat unintentionally I seem to have become one these past few years. After helping with Dave's estate, I was contacted two other collectors to help them liquidate some of their items. All of that is behind me now and I'm trying to clear out a few of my personal bits and pieces that I've been sitting on before all of that began. Hopefully, once that's done I can return to being just a user. The only person I know in Elgin that would have came close to being a dealer was Dave Connery. He was a long-time Chicago TIUG member who actively bought and sold equipment. At one time he did the whole Faire circuit. The only other person, although from another suburb was Roy Hunter who ran a company called "Hunter Electronics" back in the late 80's and 90's. Of course there was also Elec-Tek that was a large TI dealer until they folded.
