Since small monitors with composite input are getting harder to find , I decided to look for a solution for a back up system. (The TI modulator RF output can be used with a tv/monitor but direct video will look better) and you can use a regular vga computer monitor.

The answer is to buy or create a video output cable. (Pre-made cables are available on ebay)

This solution will allow you to connect your TI to a standard VGA monitor ( assumes it can do 800x600 @60hz)

Next you need a composite video to VGA adapter.
I found this one on ebay for less than $12 with free shipping.
It includes the adapter, power supply and a Vga cable.



See photos of adapter and it's output on a HP VGA computer monitor.

Hello All,
I've been reliving my childhood and would love to get a hold of a PEB.
I still have the console and speech synth, but my PEB got lost at some point - probably during a move.

I know they are out there, but they rarely seem to show up on eBay.
Or when they do they look like they've been through a war, or are missing any/ all of the Drive, Disk Controller, RAM, and Flex Cable Card.

I'm in Lancaster but would be willing to travel to surrounding areas.
Or would definitely pay shipping if someone is willing to box one up.

Regards,

Free to a good home, local pick up. I pulled my childhood computers out of attic storage.

2 consoles, one beige, one black & silver
2 PEBs
A few cartridges including Sneggit and Munchman, Terminal Emulator II
2 Speech Synthesizers
Assorted cassettes and floppys with games and programs.
1 set TI joysticks
Assorted manuals

I would like these to go somewhere rather than relegating them to the electronics recycler.

Thanks

I am posting this on behalf of an individual in St. Helens, Oregon who has 6 boxes of TI99 equipment that she would like to give away.  A complete inventory is not available, but the lot includes 3 TI consoles, a speech synthesizer, lots of games, files, and newsletters.  If interested, contact me at [email protected], and I will forward your information to her.

Thanks,
Rich

I have quite a bit of TI99/4a items in my collection that I've had for probably 10+ years, but have found that I haven't used them in a long time and with a baby on the way, need to make room for the next adventure. It is all in storage, so I'm working from memory here. I know I have at least 8 or more consoles, beige & black, a PEB, a brown TI monitor & a brown Commodore monitor that I always used with the TIs because it had a larger screen. I also have a ton of various cartridges, some disks, a beige TI cassette tape recorder, a beige replacement keyboard and much more. I am in Michigan. I'd prefer not to sell things piece by piece, as I see that process being quite cumbersome, but may be willing to break it into a few lots. If anybody is interested, I am willing to get everything out of storage and make a through inventory. Please just let me know. I have really enjoyed my years as a collector and I have an appreciation for the TI and would love to see this stuff go to someobdy who would enjoy it.

Please excuse my ignorance.
On or about 1984 I had a Ti99/4a computer and saved simple programs  (basic and extended basic) made by me to floppy disks
I found this site and thought I would ask this question"
Is there any way to convert these so that they will play on a pc (xp or vista or win 7 or win8 etc)
I do have an old computer (xp) that has a floppy slot so that would of course be the best one for me
Non of the original Ti equipment is working or available
Please respond because if there is nothing available then I am going to toss the box of floppys . Im getting old
and throwing stuff. Thanks

Cleaning out my attic.

Thanks,

Anyone (Ksraul?) know anything about this compact program recorder?  

   

I have both white and black program recorders, but I'd never seen one of these smaller ones until I came across this one.  

   
Here's a pic next to a standard recorder for comparison.  

   
It has the same model number as the other program recorders.   I just double checked my own pic, and it does have a different model number:  CPR-001.
I don't know if it had something to do with the CC40, or was it just a new, portable model?
