pixelpedant Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Nah, it was a Buy-It-Now item. Sold for $82. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 The hardest part of that one to get your hands on is the TI 9203 power supply. They (or equivalents) do show up occasionally, but nowhere near as often as the devices needing them do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(That was very broken.) I read the manual HX3100. (thanks datamath.org) I wasn’t sure if I had one, just a box of TI branded adapters from CC-40 days. It looks like 2903 is negative tip, which I’m familiar with—my brother labeled them all long ago. Manual says 4 AA batteries, or 6 VDC 750 mA. Datamath says the Modem also used the 2903. Not sure why , but datamath says 9V. Which seems generous for peak power but it’s electromechanical too.. When I used the modem I think I ran it off batteries. 4 AA your maybe lucky to get 500 mA peak.. Anyhow I’ll hook up the plotter with my universal supply at 6V. (Going to verify that negative tip…) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+acadiel Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I’m not sure why someone would want a 99/4. I’ve only taken mine out a couple of times in the past 20+ years. Most horrible typing experience ever 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notwithstanding, I would want neither one on my desk nor to plonk down a few clams for one. I also do not care to have one on exhibit. Emulation is enough for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mulling taking it out and all the sidecars next year at VCF-SE, but I dread all the table space (it'd be a table just for the /4) LOL! @OLD CS1, I'll put one next to you next year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not too terrible... a 9V 700mA adapter. 700mA is needed if you're doing charging of the internal NiCDs. If you're not, a 500mA one handily powers it just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emulation is enough for me. I exhibit the 99/4 because it’s the start of the line. I have gradually put together all the pieces: especially the Zenith 99/4 color monitor. Next to it goes the silver 4A with TI 10” monitor on a P-box, then the beige 4A with F18A and LCD. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ti99iuc Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 The only EU thing it has is the blue manual, for the rest is all the same as the USA one.

+dhe Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Goodwill pickup. Here is my original 99/4: It is serial number: 897834 LTA0880 It has the coveted ear phone jack. This is the Goodwill pickup: Serial number: 67014 LTA1281 By this time the ear phone jack had been removed, but apparently, there was stock of the old case design so it's place was 'filled' in: Here it is, displaying Equation Editor on a period correct MAGNAVOX Black and White TV.
