Ed in SoDak Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Gamevision Hangman Curious what that goes for. No bids yet! Odd to have the helpful commands printed on the bottom. Especially being non-standard keys for TI. Edited December 6, 2020 by Ed in SoDak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelpedant Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I suppose if you plugged it into a TI-99/8 that label would be facing the player, though. The design was just ahead of its time! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed in SoDak Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Looks like someone convinced him to ship by offering more than the original listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+acadiel Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 This is kind of cool... wonder what it's based off of? https://www.ebay.de/itm/Texas-Instruments-Home-Computer-TI99-4A-Diagnosegerat/224270339930?hash=item34378dcf5a:g:DGEAAOSw97lfz3KU 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDMike Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) I suppose it tests for read/write address/data lines?

Ed in SoDak Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 A couple months ago somebody posted who worked in QA console repair for TI and as a freelancer later using a similar Diagnostic tool built into a speech housing. Believe he said he still has one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+dhe Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 TI Made a similar device, you might find mention of it, in some TI documentation - as the "Main Frame RAM Trap". Geoff Trott of the Hunter Valley (?) group in Australia made his own console tester. The ROMS as well as the schematics are floating around, I tried to sucker, er... get Jim to do a run of them...

LOLOL, and now you know why I bid on this thing already. . .I'm still looking for a good ROM for it. I do plan to make a run of them, your request only moved it up in my project queue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+retroclouds Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 The same seller has a lot of 4 cc40 printers on offer, sold as broken/defect. https://www.ebay.de/itm/224273300633 Word of warning, he mentions that he opened one of the units to check if included battery had leaked over the years, which was the case. This impacted the PCB of the affected printer. Possible the same for the 3 other units as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This diagnostic interface was surely made using the schematic that appears in : http://ftp.whtech.com/user groups/Sydney Australia/TIsHUG-1987-04.pdf The current price is already overrated, the making of it is very cheap. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I have seen plenty of 99/4A consoles on eBay for cheap prices, as low as $10 a console. The problem is shipping is outrageous, at least to me. I am talking $50 from Montana, $35 from New Jersey, &c. It concerns me how many TIs, and retro machines in general, may wind up getting chucked due to ridiculous shipping costs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
