I still need to get one for my ti99 to use on my myarc hdfc. I just wish they were not so costly, runs about $450 Cad and they are Canadian designer as well, not fair.

They didn't tell me that they didn't include cables My MFM hard drive uses edge connectors to the hd. But he has a male header on the DREM . Edit.. I said they didn't tell me about the cables but apparently it's in the technical specs and set up document...

Maybe he noticed the prices of the other ones and going to relist it higher. There is still the $50 one but doesn't look as nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is/was it a TIPC card? It was a ram module I have what I need I was just like to have an extra one but he sent me another message and said he couldn't find the one that he was selling and then if he found it he'd let me know... Yeah whatever. Can't win them all I did pretty good with my monitor deal he wanted 350 and I got it for 175 so I'm not out anything but a bargain is a bargain and that's what I look for in this case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDMike Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Okay moving on the one PC has a good power supply in it.. But PC number two well it's power supply went tits up and smoked up the house. And a few people commented when I showed a photos and said I could replace that component and be back up in business.. There was a bunch of dirt, nothing terrible but I cleaned everything up with alcohol and q-tips. Likewise for the motherboard after removing it. So here's some photos VID_20240904_110818130.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I told him yes I really want it but I wanted at the same price that it was listed at. I never heard back Edited September 4 by GDMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to have to send off the boards to Chris for desoldering and adding the socket because these boards are really delicate and I would screw up a trace somewhere if I did the job. It's not quite the same as pulling a grom off of a cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting on it. But I usually don't buy discs without the binders.. But I'll go ahead and do it this time and wait for the binders I guess another time.
