Resources for your

TI-99/4A Home Computer

on the Internet

Table of contents




Introduction

You are probably already pretty familiar with our little TI-99/4A computer. You know that you can use TI-Writer to do word processing, or play a game of Parsec. You know that we can use 80 column devices, connect to color printers, use hard drives, and connect to MIDI keyboards. But did you also know that we also have a wealth of resources available to us via the Internet? That’s right! That global network of computers and computer users is something that 4A owners can also take advantage of. And many of us already are!


Currently, there are FTP sites offering 4A and Geneve files to download, there are sites on the Worldwide Web that we can browse with our PCs, and there is at least one email mailing list devoted to the TI. There are at least 10 really good web sites or pages devoted to our trusty little machine. But how to find it? How to use it?
This little booklet will outline the Internet resources available to 4A and Geneve users worldwide. Keep in mind that due to the volatility of the Internet and its resources, some of these may no longer be available while new ones keep popping up.
We will also briefly describe what is needed to connect the TI to the Internet, and what the future may hold for 99ers on the ‘net. To make things as simple as possible, I will assume a few things:


  1. You have a 4A but are using an IBM compatible or Macintosh for your primary Internet access.




  1. You are somewhat comfortable with telecommunications software.

We make these assumptions for many reasons. First of all, there’s no way I can go into detail on how to use TI telecommunications software. I personally don’t use it, and most of it is shareware anyway. You’re supposed to pay for it to get documentation!


I also simply don’t have the space to devote to explaining in any detail what the Internet is or how to use it on a “modern” computer. This booklet is aimed directly at listing Internet resources available to my fellow 99ers. If you need help with using the Internet in general, I strongly urge you to read a book on this subject first.
I have enlisted the help of a number of fellow 99ers in the creation of this guide and have also used many online resources to help me compile it. Any material not mentioned as being written by someone else was written by me. All reproduced materials are used with permission. Feel free to reproduce any portion of this guide, just make sure you give credit where credit is due!
