Omega-TI Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Okay, what is it? (Tursi not eligible to play ) P.S. - If no one gets the correct answer by tomorrow, I'll start posting hints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary from OPA Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Too easy for me to guess also, I just hope it gets released someday. -- I not going to post the answer, just give a clue to help others! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregallenwarner Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I think it's a keyboard interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dphirschler Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) That's the ps2/at keyboard decoder. I want one. Edited October 14, 2014 by dphirschler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found some keyboards that kinda match the TI too! << HERE >> Now if some TI-Logo's were printed up on vinyl to go over the HP logo....

dphirschler Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 That's the very same keyboard I am using at the moment. It's connected to my HP desktop PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 IMAG0441.jpg Can anyone guess what this is? My guess would be a Lotharek HxC Rev. F floppy emulator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tursi Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 What does the new version do different? Nothing important, just a smaller/cheaper AVR and someone else builds the PCB for you 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary from OPA Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Nothing important, just a smaller/cheaper AVR and someone else builds the PCB for you Too bad somehow could not throw in a ps2 mouse port on it also!: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary from OPA Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I found some keyboards that kinda match the TI too! Now if some TI-Logo's were printed up on vinyl to go over the HP logo.... Now this one actually has a TI-Logo and Name printed on it: Too bad its designed to be used with the TI-Graph calcs, but still looks cool, maybe it could be made to work, all tho its about just a bit bigger then the original TI99 keyboard.

Omega-TI Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Too bad somehow could not throw in a ps2 mouse port on it also!: About that, would it be possible in the chips program to translate up movement on a mouse to the FCTN E, down to FCTN X and left and right to FCTN S and D respectively? If so, then diagonal movement, would just be alternating FCTN E and FCTN D. Now as an update, I'd really get off on a USB version myself as there are wireless models that combine the keyboard & mouse into one receiver. This method would require no additional holes in the TI's case. Just plug in the mini receiver before you install the unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small, perhaps, but with real punctuation keys and what-not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hmmmm, I'll have to come up with new keyboard strips too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I thought about mouse a number of times, but the code isn't fast enough to do both, it'd be better off on an ARM or something with some speed. Likewise for USB, that's a rewrite. Pretty much none of the code in there can be reused for USB keyboards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Nothing important, just a smaller/cheaper AVR and someone else builds the PCB for you Just to be clear, are you saying only the PCB is pre-built? Or do you mean these will be fully populated and assembled units ready to install with all parts needed for installation? ** EDIT ** If these are ready-to-install units, do you have a ball-park cost estimate? I'm pretty sure I'm +1 on this, but I have so many irons in the fire at the moment that I need a heads up on pricing so I'll be ready when it's available. So, if you are making a 'first come first served list' (on completed units), please put my name on the list underneath dphirschler's.

Tursi Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 The product is not yet designed so it's pointless to ask for fine details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
