We Adore Our C-64!!' *** Set by ChanServ!chanserv@services.newnet.net on Sat May 29 16:21:11 I'm sure "BANANA" is in its future as well :) *** ChanServ sets mode: +o gamemaste -ChanServ- Visit our webpage at: http://www.geocities.com/c64friends Hi all Hi, Dan. YIPPIE!!!!!! ? Did I miss something? Can you ask Jeri to LOAD a game. Dave "Watson" Ross is reporting live from the Expo! Cool well well.... Greg Nacu showed off the new version of the IDE64, talked a bit about the compact flash connection, hooked up a CD-ROM and showed it off, and talked about the "short bus" to connect peripherals like an ethernet adapter Maurice talked about HD-DOS+, but unfortunately there wasn't much to show off. Darn! It's "coming soon" though :) Almost done :) ANYONE videotaping the show!!!! ???? :-) I just reread the description of the latest IDE64, and I'm interested in it. Eric Kudzin has his C=64 powered ATM trainer he found in a bank's dumpster Yay! What a machine! The Geopublish demo went over my head, unfortunately, since I've never used the program. But it looks like there were options added to make it more useful and more integrated with PostPrint. Hmmm, is there more compatibility with drives C and D now with Geopublish 1.1? I have a "dream", let's make a PC-10 core and CPU card. Roger Lawhorn had the first demo, with a tiny little 800MHz PC running SuSE Linux 9.0 and a powerful bash script & series of C= programs he wrote. Sure wish I could have been at the Expo but had a stay on the ICU ward for a short week and that put an end for a while to my travel plans He can use it to interface with USB-connected digital cameras, scanners, CD-ROMs, CD-burners, etc. Wow, Joe, are you o.k. now? Some say it's cheating, but I think everyone has pretty much agreed to disagree commodore in the 21'st century... wow. Did he try out the interfacing? Does it work? weak but gotta keep on moving you know people die in beds We just got back from our dinner/beer run (*whistles innocently*), and the "unofficial" expo activities are well under way Joe, does that mean you still have all your C= stuff that you were going to transfer at the Expo? Greg is going to talk a bit about programming Wings and show off some new GUI developments. Unofficial? The music... the all-night coding? Seth Sternberg (8bit Weapon) is going to be playing some techno on a PC with a software synth or two, plus three breadbox 64s still got the drive and all the Q link files maybe a closer expo to Green Bay WI ??? And the rest of us are just kinda hacking away at different projects Hmmm, did he bring all the those items or were they loaned to him at the Expo? *** Disconnected Session Close: Sat May 29 21:24:17 2004 Session Start: Sat May 29 21:27:05 2004 *** Now talking in #c64friends *** Topic is 'ALL HAIL TO COMMODORE!

I'm here in stock irc and through eskimo.com same here, I'm connected with the hotel's internet connection probably just one of "those" nights i set it up so they're in the same name of the list (under #c64friends) and if one doesn't connect it tries the other one in the list. Nice, Snog. Watson is telling us his take on the Expo. Snog, tell us what's happening from your viewpoint? fungus> hunh? Where is #c-64? Is there still going to be enough going on down at the expo to merit a trip down tomorrow afternoon? I'm locked out of #c-64. It says "private". *** Elwix (~elwix@4.14.224.216) has joined #c64friends hmmm howdy, Elwix. oh that's on efnet. Hoi Elwix yep different network I think a lot of folks will still be around Hi, Elwix. I'm in the lobby, sitting at one of the coffee tables...nothing going on out here, other than people shopping at the CCCC tables dracosilv: EFNet and IRCNet IRCNet is mostly European folks Greetings all who mostly just sit & idle Tried IRCNet and couldn't find it through BitchX Yes, Fungus. I can't get into #c-64. Snog, did you have good sales for the CCCC table? all> well i was on both and i thought i would try to invite people across.. Hi Welix Wildstar: Scene World group wants a copy of tonights chat. Yes, we were profitable on this trip, and the expo is considered a success, from what I've heard Welix, rofl Er Elwix...typotytus got me again I'll have to remember that one ^_^ uh-oh, better get on my best behavior. This might be published. *** Freddikkk (~FreddiFis@user138.net529.tx.sprint-hsd.net) has left #c64friends * Watson__ fixes his hair I just checked #c-64 and I come in just that. I'll send them the stuff. any expo that doesn't lose money is really a success I'll send SceneWorld the stuff. * CDKaiser agrees with Snogpitch. Was it very crowded, Snog? Dale Sidebottom was expecting 75 people or so. *** TheFatman (~TheFatman@user138.net529.tx.sprint-hsd.net) has joined #c64friends i will be afk... but i will stay on (logging the text) howdy, TF. what date set for fall expo near Chicago? Wildstar: That would be great. Request came directly in ICQ from Nafcom Hi, The Fatman. hey [Fungus] . CDKaiser , Elwix , SixOfDLoC , ect.. ect. :) LordRonin - NP TF I'm going to write something & send it to Dale for the UCUGA newsletter, but I was thinking today that it was only 3 years ago that we had a talk the day after the Expo wondering what would happen to the C= community with CMD gone I think the individuals we have were more than willing to pick up the slack Fatman, greetings Seems that we have banded together, Watson. Wildstar: #16 was interested in what you found on the Lantroni Elwix: 99.99% certain it'll be Labor Day weekend (9/4/04, I think) folks, if you need to find out what servers are in this irc network go to: www.newnet.org and go to the server list for a listing of current servers Yes, Fungus? What was it about? Howdy TheFatman!! *stretches* hi Snogpitch Fall expo is Labor Day weekend I won't be able to make Sept. 4. :-( Randy announced it this afternoon, just as the afternoon expo was breaking for dinner location? Hoi TheFatman of course he did say that date was 99% set in stone UDS10 $149, UDS-100 $199, UDS-200 is $249 RobertB: Definitely. And supporting each other. and when it is for sure, he will post the info Oh, well... that leaves me with CGE and VCF. Direct prices from Lantronix. It may vary anyone here with any success using 1581-copy on a w2k dos prompt? Wildstar: OK can you send either he or I that data in an E-Mai along with a few contatcts? from one vendor to another. LordRonin - no prob. Also announced was the World of Commodore in Toronto First weekend in December Never tried it, Elwix. *** Mad_Kat (nobody@206.157.148.22) has joined #c64friends Howdy Mad_Kat!! Hoi Mad_Kat Ok, who is organizing the Toronto World of Commodore? Hi everybody! Hi Mad_kat TPUG Hi, Mad. afk for a few demo compo, at fall expo? Fresno Bob!! Ah, TPUG... but will it go through this time? Demo compo? :-) Of course you will pretty much expect Jim Butterfield to be there From the early photos - you bet ya. Jim Butterfield rules Hmmm, Toronto... a possibility. btw, there are newer photos on the webpage that Robert posted earlier today All right... more photos! *** Watson__ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) Close-ups of screens, I hope. btw, Rayzor says howdy, he's sitting here next to me URL? Oops, lost Watson again (this third time). howdy, Rayzor ^^ Hi, Ray. Hoi Rayzor Hello RayZor btw, Fungus Rayzor, has some special words for you that I won't let him type To get the URL, I'd have to drop out of the chat. CDKaiser: I'm still trying to figure out how a character in a Batman cartoon got your name.. *** Watson (~anon@h-66-166-32-68.chcgilgm.covad.net) has joined #c64friends *** Watson is now known as Watson_ I'm just single-tasking with my C=. wb Watson Hi, Watson again. re again :( Say was there anyone in here Wednesday pm? Or was that just a bot thing? yeah, Kat, I can't figure it out either. On a single modem phone line? ;-) It can't be anything to do with my megalomania, I don't think. lol I might have jumped in here briefly You mean ChanServ Not me, LordRonin. Robert, you're not logged on with the HyperLink "mini" term, are you? there's some tricks you can do with that Yeah that one one of the names I saw. Was testing a new ircrc file But the cahnnel was empty when I was here I've done that, Fungus. No, Cameron. I'm not on HyperLink right now. The other one "RayZor Yeah that was the other name although I haven't tried this, I have no reason to doubt it would work -- you could ctrl-Z to suspend irc, jump out of the term, and look at the URL, then F4 to go back just a thought for the future :) ChanServ is the bot and RayZor is not a bot. right Rayzor is sitting here next to me Doesn't look like a bot Both had the @ symbol at the time. I think ctrl-Z is passed by HyperLink's miniterm so it should work just a thought for the future RayZor sometimes leaves his comps on He's more human than human Oh, what the heck... be back in a minute. *** RobertB has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) *crosses his fingers* I really should pull up the source and look if it's in its translation table probably should write a proper term program in the future oh yeah, Fungus? how'd you land that? CDKaiser: reminds me. Have you been contacted by a guy from c.s.c. about your prg? no, LR any news on that door card reader thingie that jeri working on last year's chicago expo? "found" it??? *gasp* $5 for an SFD-1001? What condition? and it's even working? *** rbernardo is on IRC *** rbernardo (rbernardo@shell1.iglou.com) has joined #c64friends CDKaiser: He was interested in getting online with his 64. I suggested he contact you. wb, Robert Hi, all. wb Robert why would a 1010a need a power supply it's an interface LR, okay, I'll wait for his message well i gotta go, bedtime. bye draco O.K., Bryan Pope's photo page is at... BCNU night draco! night all! http://c128.port5.com/Expo2004 http://c128.port5.com/Expo2004/ Bye, Draco. *** dracosilv (~dracosilv@CPE-65-31-122-35.wi.rr.com) has left #c64friends some new photos are on that page since Robert posted the link earlier today *** rbernardo has left IRC *** rbernardo is now known as RobertB one of them is actually me typing on my C1 I was typing in a simple basic program Ah... in BASIC. How about a word processor? ;-) couldn't load any thing from a drive *** jseidl has quit IRC Darn! those routines were not in place ya, that also meant I couldn't save my program Snogpitch: which one is you in those pix? 10 PUKE 53280, 3... so whens this C1 goona actually be inside a plastic box and sold to hardware idiots like me? http://c128.port5.com/Expo2004/C1_2.jpg exposed solder make me shiver Say that 3 times really fast, Elwix! ;-) FIND JERI. I had the side off my C1, had to do it for some tweaks that needed to be done everytime it started up * CDKaiser agrees with Elwix. all I see is wires and screws... scary! I don't do soldering ^_^ Does Jeri plant to market that thing commercially? but I want to code on it for certain Snog, did Jeri tweak your machine while she was there? * CDKaiser wonders about an Expose for the C-1 ... Mad, that is the plan. Elwix: Soldering I can understand. Still working on Basic 2 Yes, she added a switch close to the clock port *** Watson_ has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) Once I "take over" the local college, Cameron. :-) added a rom in the socket Wasn't someone working on an extended BASIC for the C1? *** Watson_ (~anon@h-66-166-32-68.chcgilgm.covad.net) has joined #c64friends LordRonin, I'm very bad at soldering. I leave huge clumps. * Watson_ bangs his head against the wall Far out! She gotten some patents in on it? poor Watson and plugged in a pci card that held all the stuff needed for the demo Easy, Watson! ;-) Robert: Had to teach it at the local college. Then a lot in the repair field. can this thing get some kind of built in super snapshot like capability? There is a cartridge port already on the board not so much for freezing as for jumping into monitor and other tools Snog, your C1 just gets better and better every time Jeri gets to it. Guys, at the expos - hope the weather pass by before you have to leave. Dale just announced that they "more than met" their expenses for the Expo Weather was pretty good today so he spent some of the profits on chips & pop for everyone Yay, a profitable Expo. :) Looks like Tornado alley heading that way. gee, maybe I should go into the other room for drinks and eats whats the guy with the Korg up to? Hope it stays good. Wildstar, there was a few Tornados locally to here on Thursday Ah, you must be talking about C= musician, Seth Sternberger. TV showed west side getting clobbered pretty good There was one, according to the news in Washington state Seth did some music last night...was pretty good Yeah, Cincy always does manage to catch the bad weather.. Ok. Take care. A few got as west as Eastern Oregon. Boing! Washington State... hopefully not when I head that way. Mad_Kat, I'm in Louisville, tonight Ok, how are you getting on the net tonight? Robert: Yeah saw it on the local news channel. Rare but it happens I'm hooked into the wireless network using my Apple Powerbook Ah ok I remembered one time when there was a Tornado in Los Angeles. Snog, did you see the new Geopublish 1.1? How does it look? Splash screen is the first indication that it's different O.k. Four drive access? As you look at the menus, there is no print capability Boing! Yes, 4 drive capability So it hands off print capability to PostPrint? That's why PostPrint is a requirement for 1.1 geoPublish I think Seth is starting the concert Do I understand, from GeoPub straight to PostPrint? going over to the other room Ah, then GP 1.1 is not made for people with non-PS printers? hopefully won't get disconnected Cool. Get the camera guy to film The music is starting an hour and ten minutes late... but who's counting? ;-) You I guess Fungus, the C1 has no Super Snapshot-like capability, but Jeri is a fan of Warpspeed. O.K., everyone, let's rock out to Seth's music! Any Audiostream Where's the audiostream Da...da...da-da...da...da-da...da. My favorite utility cart. monitor and file tools yes It's a remix of Kraftwerk's "Man Machine"...woot * JLawless still likes the original Epyx FastLoad... *** Snogpitc1 (~snogpitch@h-66-166-32-68.chcgilgm.covad.net) has joined #c64friends Yeah, FastLoad rocks! ooops, lost the orther wireless antenna... Jim, the guys at Warpspeed studied the Epyx Fastload for a long time, and kind of copied it. Warpspeed works with 64 and 128 mode *** gamemaste sets mode: -o Snogpitch Super Snapshot V5 is the greatest cartridge ever. !! I'm a FastLoad guy, myself I'm sure. FastLoad swept the local area like wildfire after someone posted about it on a local BBS. *** Snogpitch was kicked by gamemaste (Snogpitch) there you go snog hm You can take a Fastload board and stick in a Warpspeed rom very easily. *** Snogpitc1 is now known as Snogpitch well, I need to be heading off that doesn't help, nick has to be killed, I can do that however :) have fun, y'all Fungus, that is what Marty Franz, co-developer of Warpspeed, told me at the Vintage Computer Festival a few years ago. l8er CDK *** CDKaiser has quit IRC (Quit: The sky has fallen) lol forgot about that, but at least I did one step heh Snogpitch requested OP for snogpitch. *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Snogpitch And I had a hacker friend of mine take apart the Warpspeed cart and a Fastload cart... the boards are exactly the same (except for a switch and a resistor or two). chat with who, Fungus? Ah, Marty Franz has disappeared (or is well-hidden). Jim B is right behind me at the next table Yes just a different name on the box and start up Hi, Jim. Hello Jim Butterfield. wow, we have video of an amiga ball bouncing Yes, Dan. Hola Jim! Hmmm, the same one I saw at CGE last year (when Seth was there, too). but whats going on with that C1? Whats it DOING??? Is it becoming SENTIENT yet?!?!? lol LordRonin... meanwhile, I have been looking at my summertime calendar.
