JasonACT Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 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... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. https://ftp.whtech.com/From.Barry.Harmsen/FBH INDEXED/Disks Burr/Math Routine Library.TIDisk Also found https://ftp.whtech.com\video\Chicago TI Fair 2014 Videos\Chicago TI Faire Disk 2014\SPLIT_VARIOUS_1376\M_15/MATH_ROUTINE_LIBRARY__1980_.DS Edited June 30 by RickyDean added content 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonACT Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 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 PHT6006.zip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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" 160 DISPLAY AT(3,2):"1......EXPANSION BOX TEST" 170 DISPLAY AT(5,2):"2......IMPACT SERIAL TEST" 180 DISPLAY AT(7,2):"3......IMPACT PARALLEL TEST" 190 DISPLAY AT(9,2):"4......SPEECH TEST" 200 DISPLAY AT(11,2):"5......THERMAL PRINTER TEST" 210 DISPLAY AT(13,2):"6......DISK EXERCISER" 220 DISPLAY AT(15,2):"7......RS232 TEST" 230 DISPLAY AT(17,2):"8......MODEM TEST" 240 DISPLAY AT(19,2):"9......CATALOG TEST" 242 DISPLAY AT(21,2):"10......RS232/1&2 TEST" 246 DISPLAY AT(23,2):"11......RS232/3&4 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. Edited June 30 by chris36 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Gary from OPA Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 (edited) Affordable PEB available from a recycling place, only $145 USD plus shipping which is always crazy high, but maybe someone near the place in Ithaca, New York it will be affordable or possible pickup. Empty unit, but does include a black flex-cable card, so its a newer model, and most likely working. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/126334730321 Edited July 5 by Gary from OPA 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he still has them for sale at his store. you can get them from ArcadeShopper as well. -- I plan to do so when I can afford it, as I still have 3 PEB's here packed with cards and drives, but no flex-card interfaces for them, and the two official flex-card interfaces which were priced affordable (under $90 bucks) and without other unneeded stuff, and i been watching for a while on eBay, even one available in Canada, suddenly got sold recently, so there goes that option for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even for us Canucks it would cost about $60 Canadian loonies in total with shipping, if it lasts a while I might make an offer on it around the 15th when I have some dough to spend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
