I finally got ahold of the Stargazer I/II/III combo cart (I traded another DBT game, Dragonflyer, for it.) I have most of the John Phillips carts that I had his source code for (I'm the one responsible for getting that out into the community long time ago), and Stargazer I/II/III completes it. (It's a 32K CRU based cart with a PAL for bank switching, like SuperSpace or TI Workshop.) I have another drawer of carts with more DBT carts above that drawer, but nowadays, most of my usage is via the FinalGROM, so I rarely take them out. Not too many of the Stargazers I, II, III combos were made, so nice find acadiel. John Phillips. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see you are still around the TI world! I have the three individual cartridges from Exceltec, the 3-in-1 cartridge from Databiotics, and the Video Magic disk version for the three of them as initially released. I've even used them recently to refresh my memory on the layout of some constellations. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m excited finally to get one; it makes the whole experience much more seamless. I never had the opportunity back in the day to run these back to back. One person in our group did modify the bank switching method to run in a “write to rom” bank switched Guidry cart, so we have had that for a year or two, but it’s nice to have the original cart with the CRU bank switching routine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOME AUTOMATION Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Too small for the TI's connectors ...Possibly not TI, related. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonACT Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I'm not sure if you can tell the true size, it seems to be covered by another cartridge, and to me would seem to be a 3rd party cartridge, different, but a bit like the Atari one upper-right in the photo.

Spotted in this ebay listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/204374221969 Looking at it, it looks to be about the right size to be an RS-232 (V-24 for the Europeans) loopback plug. If so, it is possible that it came with a CorComp Peripheral Diagnostic Module. . . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NobleArt had a 990 complete some time ago: didn't know what it was. Kept the innards, sold the chassis to a scrap dealer. I got the lot of 4 990/12 boards for $300. CPU, SCSI Controller, RAM, cache & something. Surprise, they threw in the four dirty CI403 serial birds! 16 ports with weird 2x8 pin connectors. @NybblesAndBytes brought the four 990/12 boards to me at VCFSW. Also handed me the TI 928 terminal with HCS upgrade ROM to 931. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played a lot of Nintendo and Super Nintendo games on one of those. Actual TI was on a small Emerson TV with AV ports. I'd love to have another one of those, but I don't even remember the model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "please get this out of my house" craigslist in Dallas, TX. I need to keep a better eye out, but I have not been so sharp lately on spending. I blew a wad on a CorComp MES and just picked up "Night Court" complete series on DVD, and am about to plonk down on four 20TB NAS drives... so, not trying to spend anything. VCF is going to cost me about $800 as it is. ANYWAY, I would not mind having a second 99/4A monitor one day. For now, the one I have is perfectly fine and makes my VCF exhibit great. Though, I have considered using a TV with RF modulator (if I have any more, whoops!) for the Dragon's Lair exhibit, so people get a much better idea of what we were doing bitd. Okay, enough rambling. Speaking of money, I have invoices to process. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
