Galactus Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Hi Everyone. I'm wondering how hard it is to transfer the guts of one of these. Please let me know if you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tursi Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 A TI? It's pretty straight forward - the 4A motherboards are pretty much compatible with any of the cases. You can't swap between a 4 and a 4A without a lot of work, but given the 4 is a bit of a collector's machine you wouldn't want to. Mainbyte has a good disassembly page: http://www.mainbyte.com/ti99/console/console_dis.html 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let me know if you know. I have traded around several internals on the 4A and have placed one in a KayPro II case(aiming to make a portable) and into a Rave 99 box. If this is what you mean.

Never finished it, 20 ears ago, still have all the parts though, just needed a monitor to use. Had 32k on board and a percom disk controller and two half height drives. While I was working in Iraq, found a 7 inch portable monitor/tv to use, with composite and vga input. Will one day finish it, have so many other things in front....oh...well!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
