If somebody found a mains cord that "fits" and plugged it in with the
low voltage AC input connected to the wall, then it might not be happy now.
You might want to avail yourself of some of Allison's expertise.
Might I suggest a box of 8" floppies for XMAS?

Hmm, I'll see if I can find a moment to take it apart later. It's
interesting that it's a boxed unit with a cord that fits - but then it does
have three broken keys (caps are

It seems to depend on the variant. I've got a /4 and a /4A which have 4-pin
plugs on the back, and these use an external PSU outputting

Having carts is good. The bonus is an expansion box with floppy and cards.
FYI back when ratshack sold both.

The PSU apparently outputs AC, not DC, which is unusual... but a PC
PSU can
I may be stating the obvious here but looking for a little advice and
reassurance from anyone on the list who may have had experience with these
machines.
I have a couple of TI99/4A's that I was given quite a long time ago along
with about 50 software cartridges (if I understand things correctly
