Description: Behold, the mighty PEB box! Forget all that Nano and raspberry fruit stuff - any true TI enthusiast needs a PEB box for that complete retro setup. I know I don't need to hard sell you on this. The item has been tested and works. The only things you need to get are a Disk Controller card and, if you desire, a 32k expansion card. (I put my cards in from another unit to test it, but don't have any spares, so those two items are not included. I included a screenshot showing the memory expansion working and drive accessing to show fidelity, but remember, those two cards are not included. You can find them online.) It does come with a working flex cable/computer interface and an Rs232 card. (I did not test the Rs232 because I have nothing to test it with. The light on the Flex cable card does not always come on, but the interface connection works without problem.) The disk drive works. I loaded data from a Tunnels of Doom disk, as you can see in the screenshot. Disks slide into the disk drive with ease, but removing a disk requires a little wiggle of the disk to get it out. I think something inside the disk drive might need to be battoned down, but I do not have that kind of skill. In any case, the disk drive reads data just fine as is. It also has a power cord, new not vintage. The top fits on nicely. There some small scuffing and a slight gouge on the right side top. Perhaps the top can be resurfaced or painted. These units are getting increasingly harder to find, especially in tested, working order. Heck, on Ebay right now you can find untested, broken units, missing parts sometimes for up to $1000. So if you want to complete your retro setup (it will look so sweet!) then this is your chance! Remember, you will need to find a disk controller and 32k card, but everything else is here and working.Because the unit is almost 50 years old, I make no guarantees. Whatever I described above, is what I checked out and saw as of this writing. Good luck, and happy hunting, fellow TI 99'er!
