- Ω - Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Depending on how deep you want to get into the TI-99/4A, you can spend hundreds, close to a thousand actually, or go the CHEAP ROUTE if you simply want to play games. How cheap you ask? Well, for starters... You can get << THIS SMALL MEMORY EXPANSION >> for for $29.00. Yes, it's *CURRENTLY* on back order, but hey for $29.00 it's worth the wait right? Yeah, I know, it doesn't look that great, but there IS a 3D printed case available << HERE >>. Not bad looking eh? Pair that with a FinalGROM cartridge and you'll be able to play 95% of all games ever made for the TI.

CrossBow Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 I never knew that Evie had a sidecar 32k expansion available? Would it still require the internal modification to use it with a speech module between it and the Ti? I really like Evie's stuff so I'm quite likely to go this route although I would really need a case for it. - Ω - 1 Quote See what I'm up to over at the Ivory Tower Collections: http://www.youtube.com/ivorytowercollections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a speech synthesizer, you would probably have to perform the power mod on the speech unit. It's a super simple modification, all it requires is that you solder one little wire across from pin number one. It takes all of 5 minutes. If you want to see whats involved, jump to 1:30 of the video below. Edited February 15 by - Ω - RickR 1 Quote <<< My YouTube Page >>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well @CrossBow, when you get one, let me know, because I printed one up for you the other day and will send it to you free of charge when you can use it. Of course you'll have to supply your own screw and/or superglue. RickR 1 Quote <<< My YouTube Page >>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually just placed my order for the 32k Sidecar from Evie's side a bit ago. It is on backorder as you said, but then I'm still waiting on my 7800 adapter for the BackBit Pro cartridge too so maybe she will see it is me ordering something again, and be able to have them both ready. I will let you know when I've got it. I will also be sure to run that jumper wire on my speech module so get the voltage passthrough going.

- Ω - Posted February 25 Author Report Share Posted February 25 @CrossBow if I ordered one as well do you think it would speed up the back order wait? Quote <<< My YouTube Page >>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally forgot to mention that I got my sidecar with my 7800 adapter for the BBpro just over a week ago now I think? I've done anything with the Ti since I'm knee deep with service work/commissions currently but it will be nice to finally check out my final grom and get this going to check it out in the future!
