  1. If I did not constantly overlook losing a few million here and there, I'd be worth 170 billion too! :)
  2. I bought both my consoles for around £25 each a few years back and would not pay much more now. I paid £140 to £180 for a PEB with 1 drive installed so wait to get it at the right price. An emulator is free.
  3. No, only where there are too many pinned threads, sorry for posting, I'll shut up now.
  4. I will buy the book if it becomes available.
  5. What was he doing with 96 printers?
  6. If you can print a manual, surely you can print artwork to stick on the front of the box. I think the cutout weakens the box too much, the ones I have are quite frayed around the edges.
  7. You can now get a single chip containing 2 MB static ram, I would like to see a board using a 9900 running at one of 2 speeds selected by the clock on/off external instructions, 2 MB Ram, no cartridge port, no GPL roms, no GROMs and no storage of data in the extremely limited amount of video ram, socket for F18A, sound chip(s) PS/2 sockets for KBD and Mouse 2 DB9 sockets for joysticks, a circuit to provide 300 interrupts per second for operating system functions, 2 serial ports, 2 parallel ports and designed to fit in the PEB replacing the firehose, 32k ram and serial port cards. A new multitasking graphical operating system with mouse control would be written for the machine, taking advantage of the fast context switching possible on the 9900. I know "it will not be a 99/4a" but you already have several of them and choose to use emulators instead. Also 2 PATA Disk on modules for storage.
  8. The game character (mascot) could wear a cowboy hat and be called Tex.
  9. Return to eden on the Amstrad CPC has graphics.
  10. I know very little about cartridges but I thought their size was limited by only having 12 grom bases available? Obviously not.
  11. Perhaps the people writing new games for the Ti could invent a new, shared mascot for use in new games from many authors, the use of a unique mascot might help to disguise the similarity to existing games on other platforms.
  12. How about a version of the nanopeb that uses an SD card and fits in the speech synthesiser case with the card accessible by lifting the flap.
  13. Thanks Ksarul, I have never seen disk software for the TI so I thought maybe it was all on cartridges and cassettes
