Omega-TI Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Yeah, $63.60 with shipping. Who knows after the FinalGROM comes out the speech editor *MAY* may turn up for FREE along with a PDF. One thing is certain, if you are not a collector or purist, the FinalGROM will pay for itself, saving our community from those hoping to cash in big-time on eBay.

digdugnate Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I'm not enough of a purist to want to spend 63 dollars on it. not that it wouldn't be super cool, but id rather find someone selling like 10 of the Atari carts instead. I did see a lot of carts going off for 86 bucks so far that includes the 10 Atari ones, but I just can't do that. I've been following the FinalGROM stuff as well.

Arnuphis Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 That's the cart that just adds CALL SAY and CALL SPGET to TI Basic, right? If so, just get an XB Cart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeBo Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 That's the cart that just adds CALL SAY and CALL SPGET to TI Basic, right? If so, just get an XB Cart! Ya I got that cart (w box and manual - albeit it the more common non-flip-front box) in a package deal a couple years ago, and you're correct, it only adds those CALLs to BASIC. (Unless you count the "editor" which basically let's you type in words from the built in vocabulary ("Ready to Start?") and hear them spoken. I paid about $30 US, which might seem high to some, but I was just starting my quest to acquire the complete TI catalog (don't even ask what I paid for Terminal Emulator I !!). I knew I was getting a lame duck cart (I already had XB and assorted variants), but not even I would have paid that price...which translates to $102 Canadian shipped!) I also have the disc based "Text To Speech" which allows you to work with phonemes in XB, which would be kick-a$$ if it didn't have such a huge memory overhead. With it you can use the built in vocabulary AND phonemes in your programs, It would probably be more useful if the routines could used with a SAMS card. Hmmmm maybe with RXB???

PeBo Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Not eBay but wow. https://www.buyfirstgames.com/products/texas-instruments-home-computer-99-4a Good Lord! I wish there was a polite way to tell people to get real! I pray that some nostalgic fool doesn't see it and assumes it to be a fair price for a 35 year old computer and gets suckered! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
