Majdachi Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Hi all, can someone please tell me how much a 9900 Corcomp with all cards installed (32k, RS-232, and disk controller) is worth ? Many thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 They normally sell for between $180 and $250 when they are available, with most sales at the high end of that scale. They do not become available very often though. . .most of the ones that do show up don't have the daughter-board for the Disk Controller and 32K components (these are on one board, the RS-232 board is the base configuration). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majdachi Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 I might get one with all cards inside for 300 $ and the 2 disk drives for it later for 100 $, all working, is that a good price ? Thank you friend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti99iuc Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) I Think that if the micro expansion is in working good condition the price is correct. if it can help, you can see one of the latest auction ended in ebay: it was from 2014 but the price was always about this price. Lastely i never seen listed anymore. the total for $400-$450 drives included i think it could be ok.

RickyDean Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Okay thank you very much for all :. I will post the photos of my system once i get it all setup... You might consider a Floppy Emulator such as a HxC http://hxc2001.free.fr/floppy_drive_emulator/index.htmlor a Gotek, though the HxC is basically plug and play 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majdachi Posted April 12, 2016 Author Share Posted April 12, 2016 I have the HXC external drive from lotharek.. it's working well with the standard PEB, i will try it out with the CorComp 9900 once i receive it... regards:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majdachi Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Hi all, yesterday i bought the 9900 with 2 disk drives, working, it seems like new as in the attached photo, waiting for it to arrive and will post photos of the complete running setup asap :.

Omega-TI Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Please give your opinion They don't have a fan, so they are very quiet. Unless you want to use a special card like a SAMS, they function quite nicely and the DSDD is nice to have as well. Nice score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyDean Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Please give your opinion Look good to me, now adding to those drives, an aforementioned HxC or Gotek and a 3.5 disk drive, would give you a lot of storage options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majdachi Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 Thank you all, i will bother you again before plugging the hxc, a million thanks :. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majdachi Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) By the way, is it possible to save XB programs on the HxC ? any info is very appreciated. Thank you :. Edited April 15, 2016 by Majdachi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyDean Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 By the way, is it possible to save XB programs on the HxC ? any info is very appreciated. Thank you :. I do not have a HxC currently( I am currently upgrading a Gotek that did not have switches or such, also a floppy emulator), but there is plenty of information here in these forums about the device and some about the Gotek also. The HxC looks like a floppy drive in the system, so anything you place on a floppy can be placed on a HxC. A HxC is a floppy emulator, if you google it or the term floppy emulator you will find a load of information. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majdachi Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 I will, thank you :. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Note: the HxC emulates the floppy drive, that emulation does not emulate the disk controller. You still need the controller to connect it to your TI, but then the TI sees it just like any other attached drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majdachi Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 I heard the CC 9900 supports up to 4 drives, connecting the HxC to the CC controller will do the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 It should work fine. If it can be selected as drive 3 or 4, you should be good to go. If it only works as drive 1 or 2, you might need to change the jumpers on the physical drives to get everything working in harmony. The CC9900 does support 4 drives.
