+Ksarul Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 The modification to the card gives the HDX software greater capabilities--and it is definitely a worthwhile mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Exactly what I need to know. But, is the HDX something that can be done with a normal RS232 card or is it a modification of a RS232 or a card on it's own? I have some photos that might be of interest to you in my gallery << HERE >> What you'll see from the photo is the additional board mounted on the TI's RS-232 and a few extra wires attached. There are a couple of Atari Age members that do this sort of work if you do not feel comfortable doing it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you still get it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh HELL YEAH, they just made a run of these boards a few weeks ago. I know one guy that would probably make one up for you (he did mine), or you could buy the bare board and do it yourself. Heck, CantStopClicking would probably sell you a complete machine ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been my #1 impediment to going PEB was that I could transfer all my .dsk files to the disk efficiently and this look like it will do the trick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it does not get easier than this: 1) Load up the program... 2) Enter a the disk you want to send it to and the filename of the disk image... and off you go! 3) You are done, the WHOLE thing is copied! 4) A disk directory for confirmation...

+remowilliams Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 What does the HDX actually do for you? I just did whole disk transfers last week for the first time through serial with VDM99 and it was really slick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+hloberg Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) suddenly went from 0 to 2 options. If I'm not mistaken it looks like the HDX makes a fast virtual drive on the TI99 as device HDX. from what I quickly just read over the info on the VDM99, is it more of transfer program? Does that sound right? Edited April 25, 2014 by hloberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+hloberg Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 looks like the VDM99 is the way to go till I get the expertise to create a HDX. Now that I have a real TI99 I'm trying to learn to make a lot of the stuff for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Software on the PC side (required) Serial cable from the PC to the TI Software on the TI side (either DSR modification on TI rs232 card OR load cfhdxs1 software on stock TI or corcomp card (haven't tested myarc)) Hardware on the TI side. (TI RS232 card with DSR daughterboard modification or stock TI or Corcomp RS232 card with cfhdxs1 software tool) With the DSR mod, HDX1 device is available in any program that uses DSR calls. Without it you have to use the CFHDXS1 program to access HDX1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool. It's still a little over my head but I'm working toward it. It's my goal to start building stuff likes available on your site that's why I got a real TI99 to start learning hardware.

It's probably not as well traveled as some sites and it's in the Netherlands. Perhaps KAV is profiling. Norton says it's fine and I am on Fred's site a lot with absolutely no problems. ...lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMS9902 can support 500K BAUD? https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/comp.sys.ti/AE7IMGYzAKE/uuQn9BmCBjQJ Maybe ... but don't confuse the speed with which the device can send or receive a single character with the speed with which the rest of the system can send characters to it or read characters from it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkeey Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I don't have any V2 available. I do have V1 version available. If you write I/O directly to the UART you can achieve 38400 bps. However, the terminal emulator cartridge only supports up to 300 bps (verrrry slow!). "Telco", a third party terminal is not compatible with nanoPEB. There may be others that would work. Doesn't telco bang on the TMS9902 directly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
