Welcome to atari.io.  40 years of service is pretty good!  I'd say you got your moneys worth.
Let us know what you have going with that breadboard.  Some kind of disk interface?

Thanks RickR. What's on the breadboard is an RTC board, and the chips are just glue/decoding logic so a progam can bit-bang the SPI interface to get/set time, etc. The RTC chip has some on-chip memory and a unique ID, has timers, and all the usual goodies. I used it in a design at work and thought it'd be a good add on to a board I'm making for the TI. I realize RTCs already exist for the TI, but I wanted to do it just for the fun of it.

Well that was a while ago. Much more grey hair now 🙂
BTW the myti99.com website still exists, and I did make that 'artillery' game we discussed at the end 🙂

As a welcome to @ElectricLab, our newest TI member to come onboard, I'm posting a video of his demonstration at FestWest 2016 as a way for you to get to know him.

Greetings fellow TI enthusiasts.
This is my current system, looking a little ratty. It's pretty much dedicated to development since it has the best keyboard of the ones in my stash.
My first original system was a non-QI beige version, purchased in late 1983 when the local K-mart had them for $50 as TI was exiting the market. 40 years ago. Unbelievable.

 

Thanks, I guess I don't "need" to update yet...

I got a new desktop about a month ago.  It's a tiny Intel NUC.  Takes up a lot less space and it's super quiet.  Here are the userbenchmark results:
UserBenchmarks: Game 86%, Desk 104%, Work 93%
CPU: Intel Core i7-12700H - 97.2%
GPU: Intel Arc A730M Graphics - 82.7%
SSD: Kingston SFYRS500G 500GB - 293.7%
SSD: WD Blue SN570 NVMe PCIe M.2 1TB - 204.8%
RAM: Kingston KF3200C20S4/8G 2x8GB - 101.5%
MBD: Intel NUC12SNKi73
I'm running Windows 11, and have had zero issues.  I've been very happy with this upgrade.  I did lose the super fast video card, but the built-in Intel 730 setup seems to work fine for all the games I play.  Much less power consumed and noise produced as well.
 

Grrreat! I was actually eating pumpkin pie while this popped/plopped up.☹️

Also there is FujiNet, plugs into the SIO port, Like the TIPI only faster and no PIE needed about the size of a cartridge.

Oh, I really like the Lunar Lander one!

A few more...

Okay...here are the rest of my flyers.

I played one EXACTLY like this in 1977.  My Dad bought it as Sears.  I was a lucky kid, my Dad was "into" all the new tech of the times!  To me, this *IS* artwork.

Oh the 1970's wood paneling, small TV screens that seemed large and of course the Atari 2600!

Before TV video games, home computers and even the Internet, entertainment was one way and audio only...

Wow, so prophetic!
