TI-99/4 (not 4A) power supply AC9900/N (not N2)

Thanks Ksarul!

 

Ralf - Yesterday I have also seen the "large" adapters, but AC 9900/N2 format, the plug has blue color inside (like the 99000/N2)

I forgot to make the pictures, but I made the one of the AC9900/N. Will show tomorrow, then we can update the .xls as well.

So far as I've seen, if the power supply is an AC/DC type. It will have the big plug hole and will be for a 99/4. The 99/4A only used AC/AC power supplies, as did the later 99/4s (all of which had the smaller pins). The DC supplies were replaced with AC supplies relatively early in the life of the 99/4, so they were not too well documented prior to this exercise. Thanks for starting th thread, Globeron, as now anyone who needs the information will have a way to find it! Schmitzi's list of Power Supply types will also be very useful, as we can eventually link the P/S types to the console styles they came out with.

Good news, after replacing the fuses I got the TI-99/4 with volume slider, internal speaker and sound jack to work!

(only the red indicator led light does not work).

 

Note the

AC9900/N adapter (not /N2 !) has 3x fuses (the T315mA is a bit difficult to see when it is in the plastic cover)

[Edit] -> this is a 220V adapter (for Europe)

 

Thus:

1x 160 mA

1x 2A

1x T 315mA

 

It is a European version TI-99/4 and it works with a PAL-modulator (similar as the one for TI-99/4A),

the sound comes both from the TI-99/4 itself (via the internal speaker) or via the sound-jack in the front,

but at the same time via the LCD-screen as well.

 

Tip: Sometimes the TI hangs (the typical Texas hang-up sound) during startup with the PAL modulator,

but without PAL modulator you can verify if the TI starts (as it has an internal volume speaker, then

you will get the normal beep), plug the PAL modulator back in/out a few times when needed and the

screen is back (not sure what is causing this, but it works).

...just an update.....and some more powersupplies from other vendors.

 

If you have more powersupplies, for any TI-related part, just send me a picture, with the part-no. , voltage a.s.o. readable,

 

to 99er@toxic-instruments.com, and I will add it to the list.

I paste it here over from the other thread, to keep the topic here :)

GLOBERON WROTE:

 

 

Hi Schmitzi, (info below should actually go to a /4 discussion, not beige anymore):

with Ksarul we went through an whole check as well for /4 (as mine came without power and video cabling and had to get them to work).

 

My view is that there are 4x different /4 versions (and a few more)

1. /4 with volume slide + speaker (built-in) + earphone plug (at the left front of the TI) and needs a 9900/N power adapter "1x BIG-PIN"

(220V, you have the details), the shoeform

There are 3x fuses in this adapter: http://www.globeron.com/freedownload/services/TI99/AC9000N-adapterTI99-4-special.jpg

and 6-pin DIN plug which needs a PAL-Modulator (European version)

 

+

+5V ++ ++++ GND

+

 

+12V ++ ++ -5V

 

See also Fabrice website: http://www.ti99.com/ti994pow.htm

 

 

 

2. (last week on ebay from Germany)

/4 with volume slide + speaker (built-in) + earphone plug (at the left front of the TI) and needs a 9900/N power adapter (220V, you have the details as per above), the shoeform

and 5-pin DIN plug which needs a NTSC modulator or direct cable using composite plugs

 

 

 

2.5 --- ***not too sure if there are versions with a volume slider, but not having a speaker built in, but having an earphone plug

(I cannot remember if I read it somewhere)

 

 

 

3. /4 without volume slider, no speaker built-in, but it has a earphone plug (at the left front of the TI) and needs a 9500 power adapter (117V)

AC9500 (pins 1,2: 18 VAC .18 VA (or 18VA ?), Pins 2,4: 8.5 VAC .128 VA). 5-pin DIN plug which needs a NTSC modulator or direct cable

using composite plugs

 

 

 

4. /4 without volume slider, no speaker built-in, but it has a earphone plug (at the left front of the TI) and needs a 9500 power adapter (117V)

AC9500 pins 1,2 16.0VAC 36.0VA and pins 2,4 8.0VAC 1.0VA) see the website below.

 

 

 

Note that 3 and 4 are both have an AC9500 adapter, but with different specifications (no clue why ?)

 

 

** Then there are /4 systems which had to be connected directly to the monitor (see http://www.ti994.com/1979/peripherals/)

but also the cable was identified (like the direct composite plug cable), but has to do with the FCC regulations of the RF-modulator.

 

** Furthermore the /4 Keyboard has more pins than a normal /4A keyboard and the spacebar is connected separately

I took some pictures of my spare keyboard:

I think Powersupply as described in No. 4 (117V) is correct, but No. 3 should be 120 Volts

(shown on your pics you send me a while before)

> the 2nd entry US version, I think the 9900/N is also a BIG-pin one

 

> (there are adapters which look the same as the 9900/N "shoe model"

> I think these are 9900/N2 for /4A models, which have normal pins and a blue rubber inside the plug to differentiate)

 

>For the P/N model, mine indicates also a "P" (but it is engraved with a Pen), like PHC0004M P" (I think for PAL modulator)

 

> For the beige QI version, it is a red marker (also red on the switch itself, like a little stripe)
