+jedimatt42 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 The poll is a radio box, and I think you need this to be a multi-select sort of answer... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 ...... No need for anyone else to comment. That 99/2 is the jewel, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Vorticon Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 TI-99/4A, TI-83, and TI-89 here I seen a old TI calculator at thrift but really don't know why I want it so haven't bought it I wish I had that discipline... I tend to be an impulsive buyer, although mostly with retro stuff, to the great dismay of my wife Soooo, in order to even things out, every time I get a package in the mail, she visits her favorite store -TJ Max- and gets something as well. Fair is fair... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krslam Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 CC40, 99/4, 99/4A and 70+ different TI calculators for me including a TI-83. And a Tomy Tutor if that counts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I listed my Tomy things too--they were partly designed by TI. The Powertran Cortex came out of a plan by three TI engineers from the semiconductor division to use available parts to build a computer. Management didn't want to green light the project to avoid divisional infighting, so they got permission to give the design to a computer magazine with no references to the project's origin identified in the documentation. And I have half a dozen TI calculators too--including a pair of TI 83s from different production eras, Owen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 That 99/2 is *such* a cute design. Really neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti99iuc Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 This is Part of my collection and this is a screen of one of my own TI-99/2 powered on, just i need for a working keyboard because both of the /2 has keyboard problems. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 From what I remember the 99/2 is fast. It uses the 9995 cpu. Can't remember now but it may have no video hardware at all. Done in software as it is on the Sinclair ZX80 and ZX81. Anyone know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 The video for the 99/2 is output using a purpose-designed TAL (a masked Gate Array). @Ciro, with the fact that the matrix for the 99/2 keyboard was a membrane, your only recourse may be to look up restoral techniques for membrane keyboards and start experimenting until you succeed in fixing the ones you have. Mine supposedly works, but I haven't tried to test it yet. That experiment will be done later this evening. . .as my youngest really wants to see it working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I actually came down here to this computer on my way to the box so I could take it upstairs for the test. She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed had other plans for my evening yesterday. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrospect Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Geek mode <on>According to this poll, 6 people here own a TI99/4 ..... they must surely be very rare now. I actually prefer the upper-case font the /4 has , especially when you add a background colour to the characters, they fit in the 8x8 cells better......

+Ksarul Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 @ciro, which sidecar for the 99/4A are you missing? I see you have four in your picture--but there are actually five different ones (32K, RS-232, Disk Controller, Video Controller, and P-Code).
