Tursi Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 yeah, Term80 is E/A#5, requires disk, 32k, RS232, and offers 64 or 80 column text modes on a standard 9918A, with optional support for high-speed modem cables (I think Jeff got to 19.2k with his mods) and full color ANSI graphics. TE2, if you want to be complete. Requires TE2 cartridge, RS232. I never used anything else myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Schmitzi Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Hi, thanks for more data so here´s what I have: attachment=484036:TI-99-4A-TOOLs-TELCO-v1.0-beta.pdf UPDATED, pls see below, some posts later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Hatter Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Additionally, don't forget about the original Terminal Emulator cartridge (TE2 was its successor) which was released for the /4 computer. It supported higher baud rates than TE2, and had more configurable options. Unfortunately it was also quite buggy. The original TE cart is extremely rare.

+InsaneMultitasker Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Hi, thanks for more data so here´s what I have: TI-99-4A-TOOLs-TELCO-v1.0-beta.pdf Nice list! Here is what caught my eye... PORT was written by me. Please update Heatwave BBS information to reflect its current DNS? (heatwave.ddns.net port 9640) Please separate "TIMXT" and "Super Mass Transfer". They are now two different programs, even if based on the same code I believe Omega Term was written by Travis Watford. NotMyTerm was written by Jim Schroeder MyTerm was written by Mike Riccio. (also add to list) I do not see the 40 or 80 column Mass Transfers listed. CAT3 Genre column seems inconsistent? Need to expand the column to see the information. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 A few of us here actually have TE1 cartridges, so it is relatively available (although it is generally rare, as noted). Most of the hard core cartridge completists have one (or more) of them. I should probably extract the GROMs and make an UberGROM image for it (and for each individual TI cartridge out there, for that matter). Another project for my interminable list of projects. . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It uses the RAMdisk's startup to boot itself.) Thanks for including it though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tursi Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I didn't realize you were listing BBSs too, and I see you don't have Lloyd Galenzoski's BBS for the Ottawa TI Users Group. Many, many years ago (when I was just starting FlipTerm) he sent me the source, and I have that transferred over to my PC. Hopefully he doesn't mind if I share it for the sake of preservation today. It's written in assembly, and so requires 32k. I think any loader will work. It looks like it may be incomplete, I'm not sure if it was finished. Looks like source for Disk-Aid is on that disk too... I never tried that. Anyway, I want to say this was called MiniTalk, but I can't find any evidence of that on the disk. DISK, TOO, Telco/BBS, Lloyd Galenzoski, MiniTalk, 32k, ?, ?, ?, DL, 1987, Ottawa TI Users Group LlyodsBBS.DSK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Schmitzi Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 check DL (DownLoadable) means something like "it was not sold in a commercial way". But I am not sure, have to work on that later So "DL" is a little bit problematic in conjunction with the "Rarity", maybe I am going to move all "DL´s" over to the Rarity-column later, overwriting this values. And there was something concerned to that, in the CAT1, as you see "DSK" and "DISK" there... I have to remember about As such massive changes can done by me just in "some minutes", over ~ 3800 rows/entries at all, but easily by filtering, I can wait with such actions until I have more data, and more knowledge about the products. (Is there more?) But if changed once, I cannot go back, as the Rarities would be lost at this moment. And I have to find out wehter the "DL" really is true for the concerned entries, so maybe better just to wait. xXx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
