Hi gang and Happy New Year,
It's great when you can rummage in one of your own piles and find something
new... (Thanks Alzheimer's) Where'd that come from... ;)
Anyway. I found a TI TM990/101MA card that's about 11x6 inches and can be
seen at:
http://personal.lig.bellsouth.net/lig/d/o/dogas/ti01.jpg
I guess this came out of a 990 mini but it looks like everything is there to
use it as a sbc. It's got jumpers for terminal/modem,bank,ram,eprom select
and a few more. Google and dogpile didn't turn up anything and I'm looking
for the pin specs for the connector edges, power requirements and any other
info anyone might have.
Also, while on the subject.... I have an extra TI TM990/U89 that I'd like
to trade for a TI TM990/189 with someone in a complimentary position.
Email me off list if interested.
Cheers

Well, there were things such as the 990/602 development system which used
these 100 pin boards. The 990/4, 10, /12 use a different physical bus, and
I don't think the TM990 bus supports TILINE. CRU, yes. The boards for 990
minis have two fingers instead of the single, 100-pin, finger of the TM990
cards.
I have a VPU200 programmer for the 5TI sequencer which uses TM990
boards. I don't have any specs, manuals, or software, though.
The Nov. '82 issue of Home Computer Magazine has a description and a few
minimal photos of the 990/602. It's archived at

Have to get back to you on that. Presumably a CRT controller, Ram board,
disk controller, and some i/o. It has a CRU port, 5TI port, PC(serial) and
printer ports on the back of the case. The display and a 360K full-height
5-1/4" floppy are built in to the case, the keyboard in the lid. The whole
thing is close to 50 lbs.
There's another model of the VPU200, the -3104, that has a 192tpi 3meg
5-1/4" floppy. That might be an interesting controller board and drive to
find. There seem to have been some reliability issues with them, though.
I have a VPU200 programmer for the 5TI sequencer
which uses TM990
boards. I don't have any specs, manuals, or software, though.
Thanks for the info. What other boards are in your VPU200?

description and a few
The Visioneer PaperPort scanner proprietary format. There's no linux port
of the software or the viewer, but the free windows viewer is on the
ftp.whtech.com site. Dunno about Mac.

Wow !! The definitive archive for TI's. Don't know why I never found
this before. Thanks, this extends the life of my TI99/4 which I was
beginning to think was superfluous to my collection.
In case this wasn't answered already, .max is the extension for
the Paperport Viewer files. Seems to be an Acrobat type viewer
and is also available onsite.

Mike,
I DID have a box that I think was for the TI. It had 100 pin sockets that
were offset to one end like your card. It should still be here somewhere.
I'll try to find it before the hamfest.
