globeron Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 All TI's / PEB, etc packed-up. Hope to set them all up once they arrive back in The Netherlands later this year. Sent from my VIE-L29 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 here's a pic of my grandfather and i at his house- with a TI 99 4! (i'm fairly certain). 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMenard Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Nice HAM setup 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Nice HAM setup Thanks! It was a pretty big part of me growing up. my grandpa and dad were heavy into it- grandpa's call sign is AC5D, my dad's is NX5Z. Grandpa also did SSTV- you can find his vids if you search 'AC5D' on youtube. i was a ham too and got my Extra-class (I was KA5YCA, then N5KSF, then KG5RC, then AA5KP), but i haven't messed with any of that stuff in probably 25 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch HAM Nation on Twit.TV once in a while. I love the technical aspect of it, but it's a bit late for me to get into that hobby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Digdugnate, did your granpa connect the TI to his HAM setup somehow or he used it for manual logging and such? I once had an RTTY interface for my C64 which worked really great with my short wave radio, and I wish there was something like that for the TI. Come to think of it, perhaps a standalone RTTY box with serial output could be easily used with a TI. Have to research that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) yes, he did have an RTTY interface for the TI! how he did it, though i don't really have a lot of recollection for. The only thing I *do* remember is that he used a Kantronics Hamsoft plug-in module, and a AEA CP-1 that might've been in between the TI and the receiver. i think he also had a program that 'converted' CW to the TI and output it on the screen. I studied for my Novice exam on the TI, too Edited January 4, 2018 by digdugnate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Sounds like a PK-232 or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinphaltimus Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 For the record - I removed the original keyboard for 2 reasons. 1. Being sangwiched between DVD/VCR and Shelf meant I could never use the keyboard anyway and 2. I need to see the status light on the USB keys so I know when the PC keyboard is ready, there is a delay when switching KVM ports to go from another computer to the TI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Lots of nice Tutor/Pyuuta games there too. One of these days I need to put up a picture of all of the homebrew cartridges from the last few years in a single picture. There are a lot of them out there now--and that is a good thing! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Stupid question on the Tomy Tutor games... Have any of those game been converted for operation on a TI? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) here's a pic of my grandfather and i at his house- with a TI 99 4! (i'm fairly certain). Cool and old Drake MS4 speaker box. I noticed all those monitors, but no camera. Was he into SSTV or ATV? ** EDIT ** Never mind... I checked YouTube and found AC5D Edited January 8, 2018 by --- Ω --- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Doh I look every time I'm there and never see cassette racks Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk It was a fluke.. ( not a Fluke, just a fluke... ) This was back in October actually... I had been looking for cassette racks on previous trips... but this trip was about a toaster oven for SMD soldering... And there it was!!! I've looked at these on EBAY, and they are just too pricey due to shipping... I picked up a set of the cassette drawers (3 drawer model) with the fake wood finish on that same trip -M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Stupid question on the Tomy Tutor games... Have any of those game been converted for operation on a TI? We have TI Scramble... (Thank you Rasmus) Of course Jim ported them to the Geneve 9640 version of the TI, but not on the 4A or 4 to my knowledge. -M@ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 You know, with 3D printer technology, it should be possible to make a rather LARGE storage rack perfectly sized for TI cartridges... one small module at a time, and connect them together to make something really nice. Get a new cartridge, make a new cubicle... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a new cartridge, make a new cubicle... this is a cool idea! itd be neat as well to have the holes in the back for hanging on the wall.
