Nice video. I also have one. I was wondering though, I have never used a cassette drive before and was wondering what do you type in at the begging to get the tape to start loading. Thank you for your time.

too bad you don't have the PEB and 3rd party stuff, such as Myarc or Corcomp. What you have there is not even close to a full blown 99/4a system. I have the following: TI-99/4A silver console with PEB + 3000 disks of software and tons of modules.
haha tapeloading like my old spectrum, it took literally many minutes to load a game and u were lucky if u didnt have loading errorrs, then u had to adjust the volume and try again
but still beats typing it all in urself from sum magazine or something

Comment from magicianspirit: By your "new" TI-99/4A i assume you mean it was new to you...unless you made this video in 1979! LOL I still remember those banners printed out on dot matrix printers from a computer. "Happy birthday Jo Jo" maybe with some "Peanuts" characters on them...they were everywhere, and awful. People really thought they were hot shit.
I got a TI-99/4A for $15 about 15 years ago at a second-hand sale. After I played around with it for awhile I gave it to my brother. It was fun to experience a bit of computer history!
wow solid state and everything hahah

I had one of these TI-994A's when I was growing up. Had probably 6-7 games for it. I loved it and wish I still had it.
