Omega-TI Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 ... sometimes I'll pick one up just for the shiny new case or keyboard. I did that recently myself after abandoning a console for reasons I'll not go into here. The unit you see below will be a 'secondary machine'. When finished it will have Matt's side-car 32K and an F18A with an INTERNAL VGA to HDMI converter. After it's done I'll probably try to sell my 'backup' P-Box and the other spare console I have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinphaltimus Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 So I'm attempting to recoup some of my TI expenses so I can get more TI stuff. This isn't a TI product. But if anyone's interested... BTW - This is how I think ebay auctions should go. Starting amount to cover shipping and a few plus. Offer free shipping and put it up for bid. http://www.ebay.com/itm/201686819454 I hope to be able to either get an F18A or a TI with one already installed. That's basically it. So wish me luck.

+Ksarul Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 That box has three CorComp cards in it: Triple Tech, 32K RAM, and RS-232. Definitely a good buy. I hope someone here got it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I think so, as it was posted here and went off just some minutes later... No, NOT me I am running out of space. A typical problem, I think. Addicted to digggg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 Well hopefully the winner comes forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 On the space issue, I am definitely reaching limits--anything else I add would spill over into space belonging to She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed, which would be a very bad thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airshack Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 He told me the producers of HALT AND CATCH FIRE (on AMC) purchased a ton of his inventory. My wife and I enjoy the show as it's not really anything close to a documentary, yet they skirt around many issues of the 80s-90s computing days. One of the main characters worked at TI (speak and spell product) and mentioned the power supply problem and cancelling the TI-99/4 during one episode. Weird part: I've watched every episode with eagle-eyes yet haven't noticed ANY TI hardware on the show. Zip! Lots of PC and Commodore stuff, a bit of Atari. Fun show though. I enjoy hitting pause and explaining references to She-who-must-be-obeyed. Thinking the producers must have tossed everything they received from Waterloo into the Hollywood landfill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift838 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 There's a CorComp Triple-Tech with Speech card on ebay if anyone wants one.. HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) But it is being sold by one of the most duplicitous sellers on eBay. . .sometimes his stuff works as advertized, but it often arrives with damage that isn't identified in the listing or it doesn't work at all. About half of the things I've gotten from him were exactly as described--but I've been luckier than most. He disappeared from here after a few of his really bad bargains were sold to other members. . .note also that there are two PEBs up from the same seller. They are actually priced reasonably, assuming you have a spare Flex Cable, as they have none. They would also work fine as Geneve boxes. It looks like he's actually pictured all of the defects on both of those too, so there isn't much he can hide.

+Schmitzi Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 For me, I would NEVER EVER AGAIN buy anything nothing no more never ever from this seller Chaser2015.
