firepod Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I have a question that might benefit other new guys who end up wanting to upgrade to a PEB/Lotharek setup. I was wondering what connector or connectors i'll need to get that installed. The PEB will have these cards in it. TI Disk Controller, Ti 32k Card, Ti Flexcable. Someone was saying it might be the 34pin IDC connector but were both not fully sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwantgames:) Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 From the pic in that listing it looks like it don't come with faceplate which would leave a gap around the Lotharek. Gimme a sec I'll find the one I used 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwantgames:) Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 http://www.ebay.com/itm/201047002424?nav=SEARCH Alittle more $ than I paid but that's the ones I used. I like em cuz they match the all black Lotharek I got. You'll want 2 of them as the Lotharek is a half height drive and will leave half the space unoccupied (you can put another Lotharek or a 3.5 floppy or whatever there ) to put 2 drives in the PEB requires a little modification but not to hard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwantgames:) Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Just watch out its addictive I've been adding more and more to mine getting the parts for upgrading my FDC to 80 track now and gonna get the F18A Can't wait for the new speech adapter and keyboard adapter to come out then I'm sure there will be more goodies to come after that haha This really is a good time to get into the TI with all the new hardware and new games and new game and utility collections, ECT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firepod Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Yes, the mods are the exact ones I want too, so many cool mods but I think those you listed, specially the one I am doing first and then the FDC 80, F18A, and the Keyboard mods are going to be a must. I haven't read anything about the new speech adapter mod, but if it's anything like these others I am sure it will be worthy!!! All of you here really made it easy to decide to not only get a real TI but upgrade it with a PEB and be a part of this wonderful Community!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 For those of you not sure of what the Lotharek is... https://atariage.com/forums/blogs/entry/11243-up-close-38-personal-with-the-34lotharek-hxc-rev-f34-floppy-emulator/ For people just getting back into real hardware, this little device will solve the problem of getting downloaded software from the Internet on to the TI.. and you'll not even need an RS-232. Since you'll have a TI-PEB, you'll retain full future expansion options by not being locked into a limited configuration. So you can get that harder to find RS-232 later if you wish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firepod Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 I have computer screws, for like hardrives and floppy drives is that what you mean? Thankfully i've been building pc's since I was 15 so I do have the screws I use for computer cases, and hardrive and floppy drive mounting.
