If you upload a DSK image, TIPI will automatically convert the content to TIFILES files in a folder named the name of the disk you uploaded. If you upload a V9T9 format file, you can easily convert it to TIFILES using the web interface. Regardless as to which way you use, you can upload any TIFILES format file and it will be instantly accessible. Saving a file on the emulator is instantly loadable on the TI. Essentially sharing the entire storage with the TI and emulator simultaneously. and I can access it via the CLASSIC99 emulator as a disk drive in emulation. A cool side-effect of this feature is that I have a drive on my PC mapped to TIPI.Open a file share on any windows or samba capable PC (LINUX, MAC, WINDOWS) and copy the files directly to the TIPI drive.Upload files to the TIPI drive using the web page file manager. Browse to HTTP://TIPI:9900 on your PC (whatever OS you have, LINUX, MAC, WINDOWS, AMIGA) as long as you have a web browser you can do this.With TIPI you have two easy ways to do transfer programs to your TI. The biggest problems we have with our TI-99/4a are reliable storage and getting new programs (and copies of old software we find in online libraries, ftp sites, forum postings etc) to the computer easily. Here is a video I did for the 2020 Chicago TI users group annual faire talking about the TIPI and it’s capabilities: TIPI was designed and programmed by Matthew Splett (Jedimatt42 on AtariAge) and some of the software was developed by Corey Anderson (Electriclab on AtariAge). TIPI for short, the TI-99/4a to Raspberry PI connection is available now as a solution for connecting your 40 year old tech to modern computer networks including the Internet.
