TI, TI, & TI, actually TI!

How many different TI's do you own?

The TI-83 is for Owen!

 

[+eebuckeye]

CC40, 99-4, multiple 99-4Aa, and Geneva (but not really TI)

[+jedimatt42]

The poll is a radio box, and I think you need this to be a multi-select sort of answer...

Ooops thanks! DONE!

[Opry99er]

My 83+ counts... Under "Other"

[+Ksarul]

I've got a CC-40, CC-40+, TI-99/2, TI-99/4, TI-99/4A, TI-99/8, TI-99/4P (SNUG SGCPU system), Geneve 9640, Powertran Cortex, Tomy Tutor, Tomy Pyuuta, Tomy Pyuuta Jr., Tomy Pyuuta MkII, and a Marinchip S9900. I've also got almost enough parts to assemble a small TI-990 system. . .

No need for anyone else to comment.

 

That 99/2 is the jewel, IMO.

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...

CC40, 99/4, 99/4A and 70+ different TI calculators for me including a TI-83. And a Tomy Tutor if that counts.

[+Ksarul]

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.

That 99/2 is *such* a cute design. Really neat.

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.

 

[Willsy]

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?

[+Ksarul]

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.

[Opry99er]

Did you get a chance to fire up the deuce, Jim?

[+Ksarul]

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. . .

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]

@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).

[ti99iuc]

@ksarul, i missing the classic sidecars Video and P-Code ...in the picture there are four but because 2 of the Disk Controller ... it's only for scenografy

[sparkdrummer]

How about these little beauties?

TI Professional Computer... How infrequently do these come up?

Not often, but you can start collecting parts NOW.

There is a current auction on Ebay for video card for the TI PC << HERE >> Starting bid is just 5 Bux!
