Omega-TI Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 Yeah, one can get, "More crap from eBay..." (Quoting Vectrex Roli's wife). It's not TI, but I just got a sweet deal on a 5200 cartridge that I was NOT expecting to win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mizapf Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Oh my ... Cavern Quest ... I just decided to give that one a try, after some 25 years or so. I remember that I was a big fan of that one back in those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 For someone wanting to collect what I'm guessing is a pretty rare TI item, a TI 99/4 monitor: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Extremely-Rare-Texas-Instruments-Color-Monitor-TI-99-4-/222581056163?hash=item33d2dd62a3:g:9m0AAOSwRMtZZ~db 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 i saw that! i see it's a 'local pickup only'- it'd be a you-know-what to ship, and probably 99% the shipping company (UPS/etc) would roll it around in their truck prior to arrival. Pretty neat, but I think I'll stick with my $99 Walmart special tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 pricy, but i notice this auction has a super sketch and an MBX as well tho. 'Starter Kit'? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Texas-Instruments-TI-99-4a-Computer-System-w-EXTRAS-GAMES-FREE-SHIPPING-/152616068357?hash=item2388a06505:g:c6IAAOSwbtVZVubS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woulda bought it, but then I would have been hunting for the controller and headset on their own, and I'm just getting too old for such a hassle.

+helocast Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 TI-99/4A P-Code VER 4.0 Card with ALL Manuals TI99 PHP1270 Pascal Sold AS IS http://www.ebay.com/itm/TI-99-4A-P-Code-VER-4-0-Card-with-ALL-Manuals-TI99-PHP1270-Pascal-Sold-AS-IS-/162599765084 Just putting this heads up here because of their relative rarity - not a good price, not a bad price imho, though, a pretty good personal track record with the seller. With that said, it personally took ME two expensive auctions to get one working card of two (although each seller used similar wording as to their working condition). I'd really like to salvage my second and make it available to the Market Place, but honestly can't determine the inop cause. I replaced a few leaky caps + replaced both VRs. So, short of one-by-one removal of each support chip, socketing, and replacing, it could be a long project only to figure out it is a bad grom.

I have never had one of my P-Code cards apart, so forgive me for my ignorance. Is it possible to change out the groms between cards? To see if that is indeed the problem? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To see if that is indeed the problem? Not at my de-soldering skill level, no. I don't want to chance destroying one. It also utilizes two (paged) ROMs + a full compliment of 8 GROMs (0-7) also unusually mapped into the rom space (in essence circumventing console GROMs 0-2). It's odd too for another reason - the 60-pin card-edge connector shows no wear (hasn't seen a lot of insertion/use). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeBo Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 OK, anyone have any idea what the heck these are???? Never seen anything like that. Are we even sure they're for the 4A?

PeBo Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 The Magnavox Odyssey is a different system. Nothing at all to do with the 4A. Now they are...ad was originally posted saying they were for the TI. But there you go I thought the original Odyssey was one of the original 10-in-1 consoles that didn't take carts, I know it came with overlays for the screen since it had insufficient memory to draw a playfield even for early-era pong-like tennis, hockey etc. The Odyssey2, which was my first console of any kind, was a very different story of course, and some of their advanced carts (w/4K) could pull of some better-than-2600 games.(loved their boardgame/videogame hybrids which were favorites around my house.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+chue Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) You can never have too many TI's so I always keep an eye out... I saw this one that has a hole cut out of the back of it.
