You are a great team together! :) I love your energy and sense of humor-it makes everything so much fun to watch. Looking forward to watching what’s coming next!

LoL Love it

Love the style of that breadbin. Reminds me of racing stripes 😉

This is great

Nerdette team-up for the win!

Yep. Basic will work without spaces. :) That startup "growl" always sounded to me like the Atari was lettin' out some "digital gas"... Glad to hear it's a memory test, lol.

Damn! You urgently need two more subscribers! And the TI99/4A actually was my very first contact with computers. I really love your stuff! 🙃

Are the old videos as fun to watch as the new ones? Yes. Yes they are.

Fabulous 😂

The music in SNAFU is *amazing* ... we had it for Intellivision as kids and I can still remember all the songs off by heart.

Remember when Taylor just learned to solder and didn't get cool kits because they required it? Look at her now.

I have the RGB monitor for the CoCo 3. The picture quality is extremely nice. The Screen is a bit on the small side, but the set up makes a nice little corner machine for my daughter to do their BASIC on. They love to do 10 PRIMT so it gives them an error message.

I love how Jack Tramiel decimated TI's home computer division while at Commodore, before decimating Atari while at Atari. 😂

"fastest multiplan speed run this decade". 🤣

What did Amy say at 3:32? I can't quite make it out! EDIT: I think I got it (either "It's my Christian name" or "It's not a Christian name") either way, I also laughed. Amy's humour is the perfect counterpoise to Taylor's energy. Love this channel so much.

I built the Saturn V LEGO kit a while back. Also had numbered bags and a couple thousand bricks (1969 to be exact, get it?) This rocks!

It's not-so-retro but have either of you played Kerbal Space Program? Seems right up both your alleys.

This was fun, girls! You have a multi plan for MS Multiplan. 😂

A half billion years ago I had Multiplan on the C64, you never wanted to see the File Not Found error 😧. Only a disc, my guess is TI needed to split the product between the two 'formats' because the cartridge didn't have enough addressing to hold the entire program (typical games being 4-8K) not to be forgotten either the benefit of copy-protection. Its sad TI didn't do better in this area. My collection includes two (one with white keys) Everyone had TI scientific calculators unless you loved RPN. When you put in the label strip I thought of those with my TI58c (59s also) for the solid state software modules they supported.

Han(d)son ?

Surprised no-one connected a TI99 to a C64 to give the C64 speech & the TI99 better graphics.

The thrust plate started as a Tandy 1000 heat shield. Now I know what to do with those. HAHAHA - brilliant.

It's always a great day when Veronica cameos with you amazing ladies!!! <3 So much awesome in one vid!!! #GirlPower

These are so cool!

That was my first computer and I remember that manual! 🤘

One last thing - when the C-128 is operating in fast mode, the VIC chip cannot operate to display things. If you write a program to operate in fast mode while in 40-column mode, the screen will blank while displaying. However, the same is not true of 80-column mode where the VIC chip is not used. Generally, when the pseudo-CGA mode is used, the machine flips into fast mode (twice the speed). This shuts down the VIC chip. If you drop to slow mode in 80-column mode you can display on BOTH the 40-column screen and the 80-column screen. I don't really see that the loss of speed is compensated in order to have two screens, but that's just me.

Hope you weren't chanting 6502 at CoCoFest, that would've been confusing.

It as though someone built the Jeri Ellsworth TV game out of discrete components (no ICs) and had to make it bigger to fit everything.

I enjoy this machine very much. I tend to use the 80-column mode most for both C-128 programs and CP/M programs. I run the output of the machine through a video converter and use a flat screen. Lifting CRTs is just not good for my health, or that of the monitor should I drop it.

You can also boot CP/M from Evie's cart - I'm pretty sure. Any, disk simulator should be able to boot a D64 image of the CP/M boot disk. You'll still need the 1571 drive to run any disk from the CP/M environment that's not an image file (though more CP/M images are now available).

The C-128 is unusual in a few ways. 1) the 1571 would boot CP/M from a Commodore formatted disk, but then CP/M knew how to manipulate the hardware of the 1571 to read MFM disks like from Kaypro, giving it access to hundreds of software programs. However, by this time people were starting to move on to machines running MS-DOS. 2) For some reason, the C-128 required the Z-80 while booting. I don't remember why. 3) the C-128 could run the Z-80 for CP/M, however, I don't remember the Z-80 running at the speeds normally associated the normal speeds used in CP/M machines. 4) Technically, the C-128 can be expanded past 512K - but MMU management becomes a problem. 5) the C-128 can have the 80-column RAM expanded to provide better color in the display. 6) The C-128 is largely, though not 100%, C-64 compatible. 7) The C-128 is NOT subject to the "brick of death" problem that plagued the VIC models (that had the brick) and C-64s.

Two main issue with the C-64 CP/M cart was 1) The 1541 drive could not load normal CP/M disks because Commodore used GCR and CP/M machines used MFM (if memory serves) and this meant that there was almost no available software for the machine. 2) CP/M typically operated on machines with 80-column displays. The C-64, if it could get CP/M software, still ran using 40-column displays by default.

The TI disks are really squirrelly, not following most industry "standards" of the time. They also tended to be on crappy media. Let me guess - Multiplan's disk crashed. It requires the disk images and new hardware to really run effectively. That's an issue since the PEB can't use the drives then, and few other things are relevant - except the UCSD Pascal card (which formats disks differently and creates it's own disk operating system to run. It's the only real thing making the PEB necessary.

...and that's why the manual spent so much time discussing the spacebar...

Better for the PEB to be on the floor for sound reasons also, just don't kick it or you'll break your toes.

Actually, Multiplan was very good on PCs. I think I have it around here somewhere for the TI 99/4A...

Thats A big Drive LOL

Thanks for introducing us to Veronica. Now I'm subscribed to her channel, too!

How many people know Excel was originally going to be named Mr. Spreadsheet. Not kidding.

Gotta be honest. I was hoping for an explanation. Otherwise, superior parsec content, as usual.

I want to get one of these because they look so neat and I can always use anything to improve my solder skills, but money is tight. Hopefully when I am more flush with cash they will still be available. This is super neat!

This video is hilarious. Subscribe! My first ever computer was the TI99/4A over here in the UK. I was 9! I still have it.

Is this the Microsoft Multiplan episode? Or just the Parsec episode.

Press redo or back..

Hello! As we say - (sorry for my english, i am from czech rep.): "If there fails everything (attempts), then try a manual!". 😊

TI99/4A was our first family computer back in the early 80's. Loved it to pieces. All the edutainment games were great. My favorite game ended up being Tunnels of Doom. Later on when my dad came home with one of the first IBM PCs I was thoroughly unimpressed! No speech or sound? 4 color graphics? Gimme a break! I'll stick to my TI99, thanks very much!

Oh geez, is multiplan time
