Western Digital doesn't make it any more. It's obsolete. However,
Intel second sources it. Their part number is P82064.

I got one recently from Wyle Laboratories, for $58.02, but I had
to fill out a distributor aplication to do so. (they don't keep
them in stock) I haven't had a chance to plug it in and find out
if it really works...

If you can't find a local Wyle labs distributor, feel free to 
e-mail me, and I'll consider ordering one for you.

Please use my local email address et@et.com
I'm posting from my uplink, et@csn.org since I don't read this

	Folks,
	I have been contemplating purchasing a "TWINCOM 14.4/DF" modem
to share between my PC and my 3b1.  This modem appears to be a fairly
straightforward 14.4kBPS modem (MNP 5, V.42bis, Hayes compatible, bell, 
whistle, gong, ...), and the price of US$269 looks VERY attractive.
	What I would like to know is whether this modem is worth the
investment.  Does anyone have any experience with this company, good or
bad?  The advertisement is on a small yellow sheet which was inserted into
the August BYTE.
	Speak up folks, this looks like a really good deal, and unless I
am given reason not to, I may enrich the coffers of this company.

	Actually, shouldn't that be 'mount /dev/fp021 /floppie' ?
/dev/fp020 gets the VHB and boot loader, if I remember correctly, while
/dev/fp021 gets the filesystem (if one has been made on the drive).

I have for sale a Universal System Stand.  This is usually sold
for IBM PC/XT/AT and compatibles, but it would work just fine for
the TI PEBox.  It has adjustable width, so it would support
the Box vertically without any problem.  Thid would allow you to
save desk space, the unit can be on the desk or on the floor.
It is new, in original box, never used.  
(in case you are not familiar with it, this is a plastic stand
that supports the box from the bottom).
Asking $3.50.

I also have a lot of TI items (software, hardware, cartridges,
books, magazines, etc.) for sale or trade.   Examples:
Cartridge Expander, PEBox cards, disk drives (single or double
sided), external drive (#2-#4), complete set of Micropendium and
Home Computer Magazine, Extended BASIC, Editor/Assembler, Logo,
games, education, management cartridges, and much more.
I will trade on an even, 1-to-1, basis, or sell.  If you are
interested, please let me know and I`ll send you a complete
list of items available.

I had been using my CorComp controller with two half-height Teac
FD-55BV-36-U drives for years.  One day I didn't get any response from
the controller.  Someone said the TMS 9901 used in the controller is
probably the problem.  After replacing it, the controller started
working again.  The problem is that it doesn't seem to be as reliable as
before.  Examples:

I used DM1000 to locate a file on a disk.  When I went into TI Writer 
to read in the file, I got device error and couldn't get a directory.
When I tried to go back to DM1000, I got device error and couldn't get
it to load either.

Using Music Maker I wrote a short song and saved it to disk.  When I
reloaded the song, it didn't have the same notes.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  Also, has anyone had any success
transferring data via RS232 ports to/from the TI and non-TI computers?
Guess I'm looking for cable wiring information.

Hello,

after reading this group for some days it seems to me that it only deals
with the 99/4 home computer. But it is probably the best group to ask my
question.

I saved two TM990 microcomputer boards from the trashcan some years ago.
They had been used as controllers in a machine tool, so the original
software was gone. I wrote a cross-assembler and a small monitor program,
but I'd like to have 'the real thing', i. e. the TIBUG monitor, the line
assembler and the BASIC interpreter. Our TI distributor says they are no
longer available. Does anyone have this software?

Also, is there a simulator for the 9900? I use the 9900 as an example in
my course on computer architecture and it would be nice to have a simulator
(preferably on PCs) so that the students could 'get the feeling' of the 9900.

I was offered a used TI Explorer Nubus board for the Apple Macintosh. I
realize that this product line has been dropped by TI. However, I would

If you have any experience with the Mac Microexplorer, I would really

I was wondering, has anyone out there tried anything that uses
direct memory accesses?

Here's what I want to do:  I want to be able to have a variable in lisp
that will be modified by an external (meaning outside of the lisp processor)
source (in this case, the Odyssey DSP).

I've gotten as far as figuring out that you need to wire in the object
and you can get the nubus address..from some function whose name i can't
recall..

i was piddling around with this the other day, and managed to screw
things up enough to require a reboot (it wasn't really serious, but
kermit didn't work right and that's about all i've been using lately).
i think i modified an address instead of the value (i tried changing
the value of kermit:*image*)

Anyway, if anyone can give me some pointers (pun not intended :) as
to what to do here, I'd appreciate it..

Sounds like a prototype monochrome SIB.  There was one in that batch of stuff.

Summary: Deal is set to go down Oct 1
Followup-To: comp.sys.ti

The sale includes the field sales/service and factory support personel.

TI will continue to manufacture computers (BS150X) for as long a the 
market (HP?) demands and MAY still offer new upgrades (68040 for the 1500).

The sale does NOT include peripheral products such as TI's thermal/impact/
laser printers nor it's notebook PC's.

Those customers owning TI products will be supported by HP and will be given
a migration path into the HP product line should they so desire.

This transaction allows HP to get into third party service and assume TI's
reputation as a leader in that field.  

All the above information has been released to the public through various
media.  The following is opinion.

HP is picking up some very talented personel.

TI employees going to HP are getting a fairly good deal (including seniority).

TI employees not going to HP and not being absorbed by TI are getting a 
decent separation package but would probably prefer to remain employed.     

Customers are getting a good deal in that HP has a larger service staff and 
provides a migration path (at least they're not being orphaned). 

That's about all that's been released.  Contact your local TI propoganda
office for further details.

Well sounds to me like you should change drives or get them cleaned. They 
do become un-reliable after years of use.

To transfer files between a TI and a non TI refer to cable pinout in
the RS232 manual that came with the RS232. But a Male/Male Null modem 
cable will do the trick between a TI and an IBM anyway.
You can pick one up at any good supplier for $5.00..

Hi TI-group!

You lucky guys you are. My TI99/4A is really old one and full stroked. From 
little SRAM-extensions on the motherboard for no wait-states up to 1 M-Byte
GRAM...  Everything concerning the Hardware was done, except buying a lot of
moduls. The price in Germany over all is nearly 10.000.- DM (German Marks) This 
means $7000. This is really expensive but depends on what you want.

Has anybody the FORTRAN-Files for the P-Code-Card? That's the only thing I miss.

I have been able to transfer between my Geneve and my Atari ST with no
problems using an XT modem cable.  If you wanted to use the TI RS232 with a 
modem, you would have to switch the pins 2 and 3 and it should work ok.  
(all you would need is 2->3, 3->2, 7->7 and you're set!)
