Omega-TI Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 Peb avail. I'll have a spare at Fest West this year if someone does not already have one. Working, clean, in good condition, but without the shipping expense. It's not stock though, it's had a whisper quiet fan installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 I'm kind of pleased, I was able to score a TI console off of eBay for only $22.00! (Just the console, not the cartridge) I still need to clean the dust off the keys, open it up and bend the tabs down on the aluminum trim, but other than that it looks and works fine... except, I've gotten used to an F18A...

+OLD CS1 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Here is a little more proof you can find a beige console with a good beige keyboard: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 131927217614 A fairly good-sized lot with nothing I find spectacular, though it does have the CorComp 32k Micro and a GE Program Data Recorder: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 282160983537 Lastly, if you absolutely do not have enough old junk, how about six pallets-worth? eBay Auction -- Item Number: 191960867958 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Dude.... Those pallets, though.... I would love to have just a couple of those computers. There is a nice looking MacPlus in there and some //e compys it looks like too. What a freakin' collection!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atrax27407 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Could be a lifetime supply of TI-compatible RGB monitors in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Anyone live nearby? Maybe we could do a group buy. I'm in for a bill. I am selling my GoPro Hero. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift838 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Wait, wut? http://www.ebay.com/itm/252528347015 I don't think I recall seeing a TI-99/4A in that movie. I could be wrong, but I have seen that movie quite a few times and don't remember seeing it in there. It may just be a seller trying to work up interest because it's from the same era.

Yeah, that was posted somewhere else a while back. This idiot has actually been trying to scam somebody with that headline for a while. He even started at $250. Seems like a pretty jerky thing to do.

Airshack Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Revenge of the Nerds has a CoCo in the film, not a TI-99/4A. Side note: Nerds was filmed at University of Arizona. So where was Jerry Lewis' Nutty Professor filmed? Arizona State University Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LASooner Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Yeah, this is where we need the "screen cap or it didn't happen" image. The first time I saw this ebay item, I scoured the entire movie and took screen shots of every keyboard I found and posted it here. There is no TI anywhere in the movie, not even in the background, on a shelf or under a couch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Note--as this is the slider-type console, it also has no internal power supply board. Without the external power supply that provides DC power to the console (and not AC Power like almost every TI power supply out there), it is a nice desk ornament. . .

Airshack Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) TI-99 Axiom ParallAx Printer Interface http://www.ebay.com/itm/TI-99-Axiom-ParallAx-Printer-Interface-/232087642065?hash=item3609805fd1:g:qvYAAOSwLF1X34AI&autorefresh=true Thoughts? Ideas? Any advantages over the RS-232? Mod options? NOTE: Power cord not included. Apparently (back of manual) it works without the power when drawing power from pin18 of the printer.

+Ksarul Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) The software for the p-Code card is readily available, as are soft copies of all of the manuals.
