The subject says it all, is anyone working on
archiving TI-99/4A software?
Coincidentally, I ran across some TI software on 5.25" while sorting
the garage last weekend and wondered the same thing. I doubt I have
anything that planet-99 does not but one never knows (they were Scott
Adams games, iirc.)
I'm more interested in the process - can TI99 disks be read without a
TI? Say with imgdisk or another PC-based program or, failing that, a
Kryoflux?
If it does require an actual TI, how would it handle disk imaging?
There are no native serial ports, although you can get an RS-232 card
for the expansion box. do have a pile of TI99/4A systems and a PEB or
two with floppy drives but they are not easily accessible.
