The TI 99/4A Flash ROM Cartridge, or FlashROM 99 for short, is a cartridge for the TI 99/4A home computer that allows for running ROM cartridge images stored on an SD card.
The FlashROM 99 supports ROM-only images of up to 32K that use the write-to->60xx bank switching scheme. It will not work with programs using GROMs or CRU-based bank switching. The cartridge does not require the Peripheral Expansion Box and runs on both PAL and NTSC consoles.
FlashROM 99 is released as Open Source Hardware under the CERN OHL license and the GNU GPL license. Both hardware design files and firmware sources are available on GitHub.
The project homepage is hosted at GitHub.

I had severals problems with the free space inside the TI-99/4a, i had to remove one side of the metal part, the biggest problem is the internal 32k expansion which is not very well done, there is no a way to secure it inside … but everything works perfectly :D

What is DiagROM?
DiagROM is a diagnostic tool for the amiga computers.
And it is to be used on defective machines, trying to help no-boot situations etc.
You simply replace the Kickstart roms in the Amiga with the DiagROM. and when poweron. your Amiga will start a diagnostic software. It will try to dump info on the serialport (and actual menus etc aswell) while also trying on the screen.

The Vampire 600 V2 is the newest and the fastest accelerator available for your Commodore Amiga 600. There is nothing on the market that can compete with its performance and price. It is intended to be used as an educational tool to allow users to be able to learn programming for the 68K series of CPU’s and see the capability of todays powerful FPGA’s.
This is not the final product as there will be constant impovements to the board and core and new programming instructions are being continually added.

Repair Commodore 64 (ASSY 250407) 1 of 6
Asserted defect:
Fix:
I state now that this Commodore 64 has been socketed.
The work done is not bad but was better clean up the remaining flux around the pcb pads, the eye wants its part.
The defect occurred twice on 55 switching on and off (i counted them)
In one of these two times i have noticed the problem that was missing the CPU Output Clock on the solder side pad. I redid the solder and fixed the socket pin and everything worked again.
I also noticed that one of the eight RAM it was warmer than the other, but working, i have decided to replace it. I don’t exclude that this operation has only fixed one of the problems, the other might to be the power supply that i don’t have.
I have twisted several times the PCB on itself, i dropped down at least 10 times on the table and leave power on for four hours, now i can exclude solder problems.
In the photos you will see a PLA 906114 (U17) that for some bizarre reason have solder it on the socket, really curious.

PPI Super Sketch for Texas Instruments TI-99 Repair.
Defect:
Repair:
Note:
The repair of the Super Sketch cartridge was quite simple, in the first time i thought a problem of the ROM but instead the failure was the two IC U1 and U2, which should do the work of the Bank Switching.
To remove the two IC i have preferred to cut the pins and then remove each pin because i know very well this type of PCB and also lowering the temperature there is a risk that the pitches come off.
