fabrice montupet Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I would like to find a 99/7 or a prototype of the 99/4 :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTchill Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I could use the little plastic bit that hooks over the power switch inside of the ti99 case. I dissassembled my 99 back in the late 80s when the keyboard started to fail and lost it. Last month I 3d printed a new keyboard connector and rewired the keyboard which now works great but the power switch bit is complicated and I prefer not to model/print one. Does anyone have one available for sale? Thanks, Greg Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 It would be cool if threre was an affordable device that could scan a small part in 3 dimensions and output the required file for a 3D printer. I think sales would jump if anyone could use one "out of the box". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTchill Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I think adobe made a phone app that kind of worked. I have a rev 0 model that I could sink a bunch of hours in to make perfect but I'm hoping someone has a spare to sell. Its printed in two parts and would have to be glued together with acetone. Less than ideal. Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Well I'll be! And here I thought it would need to be a spinning platform with a laser refraction type of thing to get an exact sized and proportioned item. I'll check this link out when I get back home today. --- Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteE Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I think it's about time I got a speech synthesizer. Any tips on where to look? I'm also interested in doing the component video mod, but this requires a TMS9928. I found some on arcadechips, but the minimum order would be 4 and I only want one.

+Lee Stewart Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Eventually we all want a specific item for our TI setups. Problem is, sometimes no matter how much searching you do, the wanted item may never show up. This thread is to "put the word out" that you are looking for something specific. Who knows, the guy reading it may have one lying around that they no longer need or want. H-m-m-m—it does not look like this piece of the forum is really about buying thread. What would TIers want with thread, anyway? ...lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+9640News Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I am interested in a Memex Card (504K) if someone had one for the Geneve. I've got a Myarc 512K memory card, but hesitant to modify it for the Geneve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aftyde Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Agreed on the comparison to the Gram Kracker... I paid $150 for mine - and that was several years ago. If you do end up selling it - let me know when you post it on eBay. I could use one for my second machine. I'd probably go as high as $250 if I was bidding. Hello, does anyone know how much a PGRAM+ card can go for ? I have one and need to sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FarmerPotato Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Wanted: original 32k sidecar for 99/4 museum display Back in the day, I used all the sidecar peripherals, thanks to TI donating them to Boy Scouts. Alas, I gave those away in 1987. If anyone is willing to share an original 32k sidecar where it will get lots of public exposure and love and run Logo one weekend a year. I'd like to buy one, or even borrow one for Midwest Gaming Classic, Apr 13-16. For the past decade, I've been showing TI-99/4, 4A and TI speaking toys at the Midwest Gaming Classic. It's all hands-on, no machines under glass (excepting the prototype Odyssey), with original owners demoing machines to 15,000 people (with a lot of kids.) My 99/4 exhibit has grown piece by piece. This year it gains a sidecar disk controller and external floppy drive! It's almost ideal. Choice 99/4 console, original 99/4 Color Monitor, dorky Remote Wired Controllers, TI cassette deck, all black cartridges (some of them with anti-theft rings. Accumulating those to make a mock store display!) All I need is a 32k sidecar. Then we can run Logo on the 99/4! New exhibit this year will be an original TI Logo Teachers Manual and a selection of 99er magazines with Logo articles. I am reluctant to use a modern sidecar! FYI, the CF7+ was perfectly compatible with the 99/4. (RS232 would be nice too but I don't do anything with it. I do have the acoustic coupler modem on display.) Just need that 32k! https://www.midwestgamingclassic.com/home/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 @FarmerPotato, there are actually more than three different original TI Sidecars. I personally have five different sidecars from TI: 32K, RS-232, Disk Controller, P-Code, and Video Controller. The first four were all available to the consumer market, while the Video Controllers could only be sold for commercial use. Oddly enough, thee are more surviving Video Controllers out there than P-Code boxes. I've only ever seen two of the latter--one was a prototype (sold by mdude about 10 years ago), and mine is a production model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
