ti99iuc Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Ohhh damn, i would like to purchase It. The problem Is that by now the shipping costs to Italy for It and custom fees are unbelievable expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Don't you need a the XT bridge box to use this with the TI? Otherwise it's just a vanilla PC (not XT). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti99iuc Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 (edited) Yes Indeed I have a boxed (and i think complete) turbo XT. I would be really pleased to complete the system. Of course it Is just curiosity and for personal collection but really expensive then 😅 Edited June 22 by ti99iuc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XT designation means it's a second generation IBM that has some upgrades over the original non-XT model. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_Computer_XT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another change was removing the BASIC ROMs that would allow you to boot into basic language without any floppy drives. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My IBM PCjr can do that. Love that machine, particularly when expanded. My machine below has 640k, ps/2 keyboard adapter, 3.5" external FD, external Zip drive, external CD Rom drive and a CF- based hard drive. Here seen running GEM OS. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen GEM running on a PC, only on the ST. So, does this mean a Triton Turbo XT could run GEM? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEM was designed by Digital Research and they also did Dr. DOS for the x86 and had GEM version as well, but the Atari ST release was more advanced and had better graphics and speed. I also wanted to try to do a GEM on the ti99 Edited June 23 by Gary from OPA 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should but it will need to be expanded to 640k and possibly a hard disk. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their is now also two updated open source GEM versions as the source code was released years ago. Edited June 25 by Gary from OPA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A diversion from the topic, but IBM put Cassette BASIC in the ROMs going all the way up through some of the PS/2 models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuxi Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Never get involved in a bidding war. Bet the next one goes for about $200. One of these days I'll snag one for cheap. https://www.ebay.com/itm/387104359740 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly for some reason these printers always end up over 1500. Lucky I still have mine and two packs of paper for it, never getting rid of it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen one go for about 350 not too long ago. Depends on who's looking. I'm patient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
