been hunting for a PEB unit for my ti99, but with how obscure they are plus their weight and ebay prices i assumed I'd never come across one...

Congrats!! Lmk if you get the floppy drive going how you end up getting images on them. Been delaying setting one up but I just finally got a multi cart.

Yeah same problem. Finding software that is set up for the 600kb floppy has been an issue, granted like to said I just got a multi cart for better disk managers.

Please post an update if you get anything going both to show it off and so I can copy your success. 😜

I see there's like 3 official disk managers for the ti...most on cart but they are also on disk... And yea apparently even the oldest revision there's an option for ds which can go up to 360k storage... And a lot of raw flux stuff I've seen are in the megabytes.... Its a very very convoluted system lol
