German TI Writer keyboard strip: In the keyboard strips thread, I included templates for the English, German, and French TI Writer strips. There are keyboard strips for a lot of programs in there. I still have a number of them I'll need to restore/generate though, as I haven't made it through the entire catalog of known keyboard strips yet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two black blobs conceal the ROM and the GROM that are normal for it. St. Nick was the only Funware title released with a GROM (they had a blanket license to use GROM in their cartridges, purchased before TI tried to funnel all development to themselves). TI even tried to invalidate the license, and failed. St. Nick boards often show contact problems, which may be why the original owner removed it from the case for testing. I have one that will only work if it is in a cartridge extender, so whoever wins this one may need to try that to see if the board is good or if it is dead. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running it like that will do no favors to those voltage regulators--they will fry in no time without heat sinks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only so much that can be said for the second best pinball-style game of the 99/4 era (the best in said category being the Pinball game in Video Games 1, in my opinion).
