floppy disks made on Ti99/4a - computer1984 - 02-17-2016
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

Hi-
You can give TI-99 PC a try. You can download it at:

I haven't ever used it myself, so I can't vouch for how well it works. A few years ago, I purchased a USB floppy adapter, and used that to convert all of my disks. If you don't have any success with TI-99 PC and your disks are 5.25", I would be happy to convert them for you. Send me a PM if you are interested.
