I went into my neighbour's basement yesterday and found his TI-99 in basically the same condition it was when I was a kid, with the printer, modem, and everything. According to some papers next to the machine, it hasn't been used since about 1997.
The problem is, when I turn on the computer, it shows a picture of a swan (not kidding) and then it goes to a screen that says "Cannot read from floppy disk". This happens no matter what disk I put in, even the DOS and BASIC boot disks.
I was just wondering if there is a way to correct this, or if anyone knows of one, because the manual doesn't seem to say anything about it.
Thanks, -Atticus
