They seem to have pulled it down for violating their terms of service. . .

 

What might have been the violation here ? Does it look like a professional seller with big stuff ?

As I recall, The Craigs List post, claimed that everyone who came to check-it-out, would receive a FREE 3TB, hard drive.

The other stuff for which they wanted to take $$$ offers.

But, it was posted in FREE STUFF, as well as COMPUTERS, categories.:P

The post seemed oddly esoteric!

Not directly, a TI99 item, but it is the rare stringy floppy device that was licensed by Texas Instruments to become the hexbus waferdrive that was going to be on the 99/2 and CC40 so this item might be useful in the right hands. -- it's going to be a bidding war...

Yes, I've never seen some of those programs before. Do we have those on whtech.

Looks to me like a mini memory with a second 8k chip stacked on it with a switch. There should be old articles in MicroPendium how to make one.

Yes, I actually have a home brew one I never finished from around 1999. It was going to have a BCD swictch to select the various banks. I believe mine was based on an Editor Assembler grom? I just never saw several of those program selections.

They are the menu selections from supercart utilities disk 1 and 2 which he includes with the cartridge. These disks should be archived someplace on whtech by now. Various users groups had them back in the day. Also looking at this auction again, it looks like it has the EA grom in it instead of the mini memory one.

We have a rare Corcomp 256k Ramdisk up for sale it seems. With sockets so easy to expand to 512k as well. Plus, if you lucky enough to already own one, you can run two in one PEB.

Interesting, where is it documented on how to set them up for two. I do have two, and after I get them fully operational, would like to try that, never knew it was possible.

Just change the jumper from A to B. Also best to be using v3.1 DSR on both cards. All info should be on whtech, if not I will send you the manuals and dsrs, I got all the originals here, just need to scan them in.

Thanks, If it's in the manuals I'll find them. Just never knew that two could be used in one system before. Thought that since the OS was caught by the corcomp card that there would be conflict.

Normally, having two cards that act as 32k memory expansion can't be used together, but Corcomp design allows for whole card to be shut off, so when the second one at 1400 gets called it temporarily disables the active 32k one at 1000. Unlike the myarc design it can't be disabled without a hardware modification, which would be nice to do at some point, as I love to use my Myarc along with my Corcomp together. Have to add that to me todo list.

That's probably a better price for that, than 500 for the ramdisk. Still seems to be a bit high.

Everything seems high these days. HOWEVER, roughly 2018 somebody offered me one for $25 at a VCF but I didn't have any cash on me. By the time I got back to him it was gone. Many's the day I kick myself for not remembering in the moment that paypal and venmo exist.
