Ti-990

[Jim Hearne]

Here is the real version of my programmers panel.
A couple of issues on the Issue 1 board, should be correct on the Issue 2 schematic which i've attached.
The circuit is an exact copy of the TI panel but it's laid out to no specific size as as the time i didn't have a chassis it needed to match.

I forgot to attach the schematic i see.

I have the Ti rack and one of Richards racks too. Agree the front panel does not fit Richards variant.

I saw those 990/5 cards for sale on Ebay too, I have a similar set and a later /10 set.
No experience of using a floppy emulator with the TFDC.

Have you guys seen a desktop version of the front panel? I picked this up last week.

It's a molded plastic back that sits at an angle on the desk.

I think a back cover like that would be a useful accessory for Jim's panel.

I seem to have acquired an X-Ten "X-PORTER/2" 990 coprocessor for running DX10 on a microchannel PS/2.

What are the odds this software still exists somewhere? Is there an active user community somewhere I might pester about it?

I have the software and a running image in my basement somewhere.

pics would be nice. i've never seen that x-ten product. great to hear someone has the software

I have several of the special serial cables too. Nothing special. Mini-Din to 9 pin. I'll try to make some time on Sunday to unearth it.

Any software for either the PC or PS/2 versions of the X-Porter or 7-XP boards, or the associated X-Link serial network and file accelerator boards, would absolutely be welcomed by me. I have some literature scans for these boards and will see if I can dig them up later, and maybe a pic of a 512K, 2 serial port 7-XP board. And I'm assuming X-Ten is what I know as Ten X, I guess. Not to be confused with the real estate people.

Ten X also made a TILINE COBOL accelerator for the 990, but that's another kettle of fish.

 

[bear]

derp. I meant "Ten X" but typed the other.

 

[jbdigriz]

Ok, better late than never, but here's all the Ten X stuff I have ATM. This is a smallish Nextcloud server that will need to be moved to something bigger at a later date, and the URL will change, but have at it. I had issues with the uploads bogging things down, but downloads should go better. Just please be gentle. Board photos, ROM dumps, ftp and rsync links, etc. as part of a larger plan, soon.
