Just let me know what kind of cord so we bring the appropriate cutting equipment.😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidden in the TI-99/4A computers there is at least a German TI-99/4 It is just due to a German "Video Chess" cartridge used in the 99/4A in use. When we insert "Echec", the French "Video Chess", the main screen is also modified. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti99iuc Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) @fabrice montupet ah ok, it's right... then I can't explain the high final price it seems like too much for three TI99 with few accessories, also modified modulator composite SCART can't have that value.

+mizapf Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 MAME users may check this with mame ti99_4a -cart chessd Interestingly, the cartridge selection also offers the "Formel-Rechner" (formula calculator) as option 2, which you have to press for entering Video Chess (shown as 3). Things work properly for the driver ti99_4. The same effect can be seen for Statistics German (-cart statisd). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 The Paraprint cartridge was not all that common, although it is a little more common than the equivalent CorComp PIO Plus cartridge (also designed to connect to the side port). One note on the Paraprint: it uses the same cable as the various DataBioTics utility cartridges with built-in parallel ports, so the cable is actually a lot more common than the cartridge is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was into collecting carts in the early 2000's, I always thought either "Germ Patrol" or "Robotron 2084" were considered holy grails. I think both were prototypes only (could be wrong) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Actually, there are several more on the list of scarily-expensive cartridges: Killer Caterpillar, 4 known, about $600 Arcturus, about a dozen known, $400 to $450 Any of the Scott Foresman School Management cartridges (about $250 each when complete with manual/binder), no more than 3-5 copies of any of these titles are known to exist. These don't have the collector factor commensurate with their rarity, probably because of their limited utility outside the school system. Any of the TI qualification run prototypes of cartridges that never made it to production (Crossfire or Disk Manager 3 are good examples here), $200 to $300. The total number of cartridges produced in a qualification run is similar to the total number of Dragon's Lair cartridges made, but with a significantly lower survival rate. Note that qualification run cartridges for any cartridge that did make it to regular production are generally worth significantly less ($75 to $100). I suspect that if any of the original Thorn EMI sideport cartridges turned up (several were documented to exist but do not seem to have survived) that the prices for them would go in the range of the Killer Caterpillar cartridges. The single most expensive known cartridge would be the Parker Brothers Tutankham prototype, as the one cartridge in community hands was purchased from the developer for $3,000. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixelpedant Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Mike Dudek put up a couple more in-box, tested and fully working (no screen defects) CC-40s. One 6K unit and one 18K unit. Fairly expensive, but these don't come around every day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
