Omega-TI Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I'd love to see one of these under my tree, but sadly they are out of my reach... I love the Christmas feel of this image though! Do you have a want you'll probably never see? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbmeeks Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 How many of those were made? I bet they are difficult to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Ninerpedia 150, but I think I've heard only 50 working ones are known to exist, which may be in error. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable on the matter like @Ksarul will jump in. I've seen a couple show up on eBay over the years, but I'm not even in the running at the prices they go for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 I do have a question for anyone that owns one... does the TI-99/8 work with the FinalGROM and TIPI? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the last several years have really come through, as far as fulfilling my TI-99 wants goes in just about every way. - The TIPI is a dream, which I suppose most crucially allows me to manipulate TI files from a connected PC without interrupting anything the TI is doing. - The FinalGROM really is the final answer in TI flash cartridge functionality. - XB256 offers a lot of great new tools for Extended BASIC programming, and in particular, a good option for compiled XB. - The F18A is both a compelling upgrade to the 9918A and an RGB output solution. - The MBX is a fascinating toy which I didn't really expect I'd find, due to scarcity and price, but managed to acquire for cheap. - SAMS is available as a cheap convenient sidecar and has new software coming out for it. Seriously, what more could I ask for? I'm kind of short on unfulfilled TI-99 wants, at this point I don't know if I'd really want a TI-99/8, if I'm being honest with myself. Writing programs for a platform with no user base doesn't seem very appealing. And others are far better equipped to study and document the machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbmeeks Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I may be in the minority but I really want an original TI-99/4 (no a). Bad keyboard an all. But when they show up, they are always out of my price range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
