    Update Home Made TI tape cable

    Well, my cable was built ok, except for one goof. I blame the obscure and cryptic pin out descriptions scattered on the net. On the MIC cable, I reversed the hot and gnd, aka the sleeve and tip wires. My EAR wires were fine.. tested along side the real thing (that I got off ebay) using a...

    Recovered Links Qualstar SCSI Tape Drive info

    For Sale Or Trade TI994_A DISK MANAGER 2 CARTRIDGE

    I've got the Disk Manager 2 cartridge for the TI 994/A, and I have no use for it. I think I've got the little ribbon cable, which connects the computer to the expansion box, so, I'll include that, cause I have no use for that either. I can test the DSKMGR2 cart, in my TI, and report back, but...

    How to safely swap my drive A and drive B in TANDY 1000 HX

    I've got a Tandy 1000HX, and my A: drive is worn out. My B: drive, hardly used, I can only assume, is in much better shape. I'd like to try cracking it open, and just swap the two myself, but I'm worried about mucking it up. Tips? Hints? ~Paul

    For Trade: DB15 to IBM PC Jr. joystick adaptor :::: use DB15 joystick on IBM PC JR

    I have a little adaptor that I have no use for. Takes a DB15 socket, that you can plug a gamepad or joystick into, and goes down to the dual row little header type plug, for the joystick in, on a IBM PC Jr. Things I would think about trading for it. ~~~ Any one of the various cassette...

    Hand made tape interface cable, for nothing

    Just got done wiring up a tape interface cable from scratch, just to find out my TI 994/A is having some sort of keyboard decoding circuit issue. I can press 1, 5, and space, and M or something like that, but the rest of the keys don't do anything. Cause I'm able to press the 1, I can get to...
