Do we have this disk in our reserves? I've not seen this screen before.

I've been meaning to ask if this item is in the communal vault?  It came with an eBay purchase I made - I borrowed a tape deck and successfully got the programs off the tape...

The last one looks like it sold for 750. I've seen one go for about 350 not too long ago. Depends on who's looking. I'm patient.

Patience is definitely good here. $250 to $350 is probably the right range for a good one, about half that for one with issues or non-functional.

This might be the same disk @JasonACT? Keep in mind this was created for Win994a, it might just need the TIdisk extension changed to disk to be read. don't know the best way to read it outside of Win994a. TIimagetool will seen it , but complains of bad geometry. Don't know if that affects the programs that are shown on the disks.

Both those appear to be the same set of programs, and yet, have slight differences to what I got off the tape...  Attached.

 

Is anyone interested in photos of the manual?  It's all pretty dry stuff to me, which is ironic, the box seems fairly water damaged

Those two disks are identical and are 90k images. 

There is also this one which is a 180k image.
https://ftp.whtech.com/?do=download&file=From.Barry.Harmsen%2FFBHnamed%2FT%2FTI-Math.dsk

 

The 180k image has all the 90k image files plus more.  The files common to both are identical. 

 

The cassette version, posted by @JasonACT, contain the same files as the 90k image.  Although the binary data has some small differences between the two, the BASIC listing of the files are identical between tape and disk. 

 

I would like to see photos of the manual and also request the original tape sound file, if you still have it?

 

thanks.

I did a search for "DISK EXERCISER" using my rather dated clone of the old whtech site.  There were 20'ish hits.  This folder https://ftp.whtech.com/#From.Barry.Harmsen%2FFBHnamed%2FB%2FBOX%2B contains one of them.  In my copy, these files are identical BOX9193B.DSK,  BOX9195B.DSK, BOX9194A.DSK.  The LOAD file on one of them is as follows.

 

100 CALL CLEAR
110 FOR CHAR=0 TO 12
120 CALL COLOR(CHAR,16,5)
130 NEXT CHAR
140 CALL SCREEN(5)
150 DISPLAY AT(1,2):"0......P/CODE TEST"

250 ACCEPT AT(16,20) SIZE(2) BEEP VALIDATE (DIGIT):A
255 IF A>9 THEN 400
260 CALL CLEAR
265 IF A=0 THEN 800
270 IF A=1 THEN RUN "DSK..TEST..EXPBOX"
280 IF A=2 THEN RUN "DSK..TEST..PRINTER#1"
290 IF A=7 THEN RUN "DSK..TEST..RS232"
300 IF A=4 THEN RUN "DSK..TEST..SPEECH"
310 IF A=5 THEN RUN "DSK..TEST..TP"
320 IF A=6 THEN 700
330 IF A=3 THEN RUN "DSK..TEST..PRINTER#2"
340 IF A=8 THEN RUN "DSK..TEST..MODEM"
350 IF A=9 THEN RUN "DSK..TEST..CATALOG"
360 END
400 IF A=10 THEN 500 :: IF A=11 THEN 600
410 GOTO 250
500 CALL INIT
510 CALL LOAD("DSK..TEST..CHO")
520 CALL LINK("GO")
530 CALL LOAD("DSK..TEST..RO/1")
540 CALL LINK("RUN")
600 CALL INIT
610 CALL LOAD("DSK..TEST..CHO")
620 CALL LINK("GO")
630 CALL LOAD("DSK..TEST..RO/3")
640 CALL LINK("RUN")
700 CALL INIT
710 CALL LOAD("DSK..TEST..CHO")
720 CALL LINK("GO")
730 CALL LOAD("DSK..TEST..DE")
740 CALL LINK("RUN")
800 CALL INIT
810 CALL LOAD("DSK..TEST..CHO")
820 CALL LINK("GO")
830 CALL LOAD("DSK..TEST..PC")
840 CALL LINK("RUN")

 

You can see, starting at line 150, that the displayed menu is the same as that given in the auction.

 

Also, if you look at that sellers other items, they offer TI-99 disks on new floppies.  The labels of these new floppies use the same template as that shown in the linked auction.  So it's most likely a copy of an archived image.

Manual attached, sorry for the format - that's how my work's printer/scanner works unless you use the document feeder.

 

I don't have the tape sound file, sorry, only only borrowed an old Panasonic mono tape deck off a friend of a friend - and I returned it already.
