I'll see what I can do creating one for myself in affinity Many thanks for the offer though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atari2600PAL Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I don't have an original strip for my TI-writer but I do have a dozen or so blank strips So could anyone recommend what sort of pen is best for writing on them, so they won't smudge, please? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks One way to keep them from smudging would be to write the text carefully so as not to smudge while writing, and then cover the top of the strip with a piece of invisible tape, trimming the excess off with an Xacto knife. Then the ink will be shielded from contact and shouldn't smudge at all. Generally, I just made myself new strips with the templates I put up in this thread a few years ago. I use paper with the printed matter on it, rubberized glue, some thin cardboard (hanging file folders are great for this), and some tape to protect the top surface. They work pretty good that way. I also tried getting some printed on vinyl label material, but those came out a bit too bright somehow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A biro won't write on it properly and the only other thing I have to hand is a sharpie but even though it says it's fine it's way too thick for writing on the strips I guess I need to find something similar to a sharpie but much finer. Wish I still had my draughting pens but they went a long time ago. Will have a search on amazon Many thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atari2600PAL Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Have ordered an "ultra fine" sharpie to see what that's like 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atari2600PAL Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 The ultra fine sharpie was fine enough (and smudge proof) but I decided I didn’t like my writing! In the end I printed the strips I currently wanted, from this thread thanks, onto glossy sticker paper, cut them out with a knife and stuck them onto spare strips They look good and feel strong Many thanks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atari2600PAL Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Sorry to be a pain, but does anyone have a scan of the UCSD p-system binder spine they are willing to share please? (Have got a spare TI binder and am intending to print out all the manuals, as I doubt I'll be able to find an original set) Many thanks EDIT: Can't believe I missed the scan I wanted on the previous page in this thread, sorry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other manuals came shrink-wrapped with the disks and you just added the manuals to the binder. BITD, they were actually harder to find than the card was--nobody had them in stock. I actually ended up buying mine from a TI store in downtown Riyadh from the guy who was the importer for Saudi Arabia. He had the three disk packages--but none of the cards, so his disk set was pretty useless to him there. I bought them, which saved him from a loss--and got me the disks I couldn't find anywhere else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atari2600PAL Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Thanks. Had just assumed they must of issued separate binders. At least it means there’s only 1 original binder to try and track down, though 3 manual sets. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atari2600PAL Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Thanks @ti99iuc I have a spare genuine TI binder (got it from @arcadeshopper with EA in it, but in the end didn't need it as I got a free sealed copy of EA - long story) so will use that for my self printed UCSD manuals (if I don't find an original). I have a 750 sheet ream of US Letter paper on its way which will hopefully be enough if I print both sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally finished printing out all the UCSD manuals on US Letter paper to fit an original TI binder Had to settle for paper rather than card section covers Didn't realise just how much ink I'd get thru, but I definitely ordered too much paper (forgot I was printing double sided!) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
