[21:05] say it [21:05] Hoi awll, finally BitchX accepted the join command [21:05] It took longer for him to connect then I thought... LOL [21:05] Hi LR :) [21:05] <_brain_> Sometime, you need to try screen, LR [21:06] Screen??? [21:06] Got a question. Anyone know how to revert SID extensions files back to normal sid files? [21:06] howdy LR [21:06] Rod told me a bit about using "screen" [21:06] Yeah, He got some CD's with SID songs with the .SID extension [21:06] Hoi KilrPilr, saw you wre on Dragons Eye BBS [21:06] what do you mean by normal? [21:06] <_brain_> I think you just load them, no? [21:07] .sid files can play on a stock 64 [21:07] LR yeah i was on there makin a mess and foolin around [21:07] And some tape "images" with the .TAP extension as well... [21:07] <_brain_> tap files are harder [21:07] :d [21:07] Raname the .sid to .mus??? [21:07] :D [21:07] Normal = play on a C= in a sid music player 64 [21:07] no, mus is different [21:07] <_brain_> No, I think you ust load them like a .prg [21:07] .taps? jim? [21:07] mus has the other information in the file [21:07] you might want to check out the HVSC for a player for the 64 [21:08] <_brain_> tap = tapefile. Not sure how to get those back to usable form. [21:08] How about a C128? [21:08] Jim: there was a post about this on the ide64 mailing list [21:08] I don't recall a 128 player [21:08] Got the GameBase site sent to me on CD. All the music has the extension SID. Made for a heretic player. AFAIK in that form it won't play on the C= [21:08] Hmmm, I never saw such a player on HVSC. [21:08] a guy on there said he converted a progrma to do mass conversion of .taps to.prgs [21:08] .sid is native to the 64 [21:08] I have a cool 128 player [21:08] i hope he sens me the prog [21:08] works in 80 column [21:09] powersid 80 [21:09] hang on let me look for it [21:09] Oh, yes! I've never heard of that player. [21:09] uhm, Alberonn, I'm looking to start a BBS on my A1200, and I'm looking for CNet. Pna told me to ask you about it? [21:09] That would be coll to see. I know LR wants it allready. I have a flat 128 with VDC myself... [21:09] Hmm HVSC, have that someplace, and was confused when I first looked there, should be bookmarked. [21:10] It's no lonfer available. Teres a demo of v3.05c, but you have to reinstall every week... [21:10] ick. [21:10] Joe (Randomact), where did you find Powersid 80? [21:10] I may have Ray Akey's e-mail addy around here somewhere... [21:10] I'm looking like for the site [21:10] Acea/Alberonn: The SysOp of the Rats Den told me that he can connect serious people to those with the key file. [21:10] just a minute [21:10] ftp://c64.rulez.org/pub/c64/IDE64/Tools/Plugins/HVSID_player_v3b.zip [21:10] Thanks, Joe. [21:11] However there's Max's BBs on the Aminet. Not quite as powerful, but it's free... [21:11] Robert: do you have any william shatner music? [21:11] Wish Ratsden was actually *up*... [21:11] Yes, I have the original album, the Transformed Man, and the new CD, Has Been. [21:11] Try http://ftp.martnet.com/commie/c128/ALLFILES.html [21:11] Yah, tried rat's den. It's down [21:11] * Alberonn tries to get that player... [21:11] ok [21:11] RobertB: I frelled up!!! For some reason that Clone MSD disk you sent me. Copied from 1 to 0. Even though it was sent for 0 to 1. Over wrote the disk. :-( [21:11] direct link http://ftp.martnet.com/commie/c128/audio/powersid.sda80 [21:12] O.K., I'm writing that down. [21:12] Suppose I could use Max's BBS, though the main reason I wanted CNet was that I've got a few doorgames for it kicking around. [21:12] Ay, LR! Do you want me to mail you another copy? [21:12] copy of what? [21:13] William Shatner rules! MR TAMBOURINE MANNN!!!! [21:13] Rocking with the Capt'n.! [21:13] I was partial to Lucy in the Sky [21:13] * MikePaWay (mike@228.cust20.vic.dsl.ozemail.com.au) has joined #c64friends [21:14] Howdy MikePaWay [21:14] Hi, Mike P.

[21:14] Hi Snogpitch, Robetr, Antares [21:14] i have it here robert [21:14] watchin it right now [21:14] RobertB: that would be appreciated. Don't know what went wrong. Did the "d1=0 test earlier and ran fine. Even the gfx showed it going from 0 to 1. Stupid me didn't write protect the disk :-( [21:14] hes smokin a cig :) [21:14] Hoi Mike [21:14] Heh, reminds me of the Funnet's html pages... LOL [21:15] KilrPilr: not me I smoked a pipe for 40+ years now [21:15] Hi Lord [21:15] Snog, the disk is the Clone Machine for MSD drives. [21:15] Yeah, Rocketman is really funny [21:15] Well, one thing with the n3.o5c demo is that if you install over the old install, there's less to rebuild [21:16] CNet [21:16] Got the Kracker Jax Cannon and some CLD things. Been playing with the MSD since it now works. [21:16] thats a long time LR [21:16] what CLD things LR? [21:16] * Acea nods [21:16] Some doors can run with other BBS' though. [21:16] Yeah, Leo, Bill Shatner was a smoker in his early years but not anymore... (unless it's a cigar). [21:16] They can, you say... [21:16] A lot of thgem are ARexx, and it may be possible to fix 'em [21:16] OK, what is the "Clone Machine"? [21:17] Which'd be easier if I knew Rexx ^^ [21:17] Some are executable files and some of those can run with other BBS programs as well... [21:17] Commercial program from Micro-W Distributing. [21:17] There are still a few books loatin' about [21:17] Copy program for 64. Did copy-protected files. [21:17] floatin' [21:17] Copyright 1984. [21:17] Well KilrPilr: I am 54. CLD Chip Level Designs {IIRC} By Lawrence Hiler. Some dox, disks and three chips from Al Jackson at 5C's U.G. To improve my MSD Dual drive. Also sent me the Service manual. [21:18] Written by Richard Capp. [21:18] cool LR [21:18] Sometimes there's enough comments in the .rexx files to allow you to make a few changes as well [21:18] We are waiting for Lord Alberonn to put up the Hour Glass BBS on the Amiga. [21:18] * Acea nods again [21:19] I'd want another Amiga to dedicate it for BBS use... [21:19] I couldn't make it to the Bill Shatner concert last night... it was sold out. [21:19] Hour Glass BBS? [21:19] Rexx is now freely available as "Regina". [21:19] The name of a never put of for long Amiga-based BBS [21:19] never put up for long [21:19] * JavaUser (~Javauser@dialup-4.235.99.47.Dial1.Orlando1.Level3.net) has joined #c64friends [21:19] Yeah Hour Glass. Theme is from his Shadowrun 1sd ed Decker Character [21:19] What size venues does WS have for his concerts? [21:20] Hi, Java. [21:20] If I had CNet, I could have a Telnet-BBS [21:20] Hoi JavaUser [21:20] beeman [21:20] Howdy JavaUser [21:20] Which Javeuser is on now? [21:20] The El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles holds quite a number of people, Snog? (over a 1,000?) [21:20] Cool... [21:20] I'd guess one from Florida... [21:20] LOL [21:21] Not #16 then [21:21] what are the cost of tickets at the El Rey? [21:21] At least, I video-recorded Shatner when he sung on the Tonight Show last night. [21:21] Damm, now Ronins got me using BBS ID#'s here... [21:21] $30.00 [21:21] At missed kirk on the tonight show [21:21] reserved or general admission? [21:21] General [21:21] cool :) [21:22] He was in fine "singing" form last night, Joe. [21:22] It scares me to think that people pay to hear Shatner sing... LOL [21:22] does he have a new album out? [21:22] heh... [21:22] Picture yourself...on a boat...by a river...with tangerine dreams and marshmellow skies... [21:22] ;0 [21:22] Yes, "Has Been". [21:22] ROTFL [21:22] Number 1 at Borders Books. [21:23] guess I'll have to zoom over to Borders tommorrow [21:23] Wasn't he technically, the inventor of Rap? [21:23] RobertB: Have to scan them with the handy scanner and convert them to GeoPaint. BUT!!! Have a mess of Klingon things, like rank etc to make for Geos. Will add that to the stack for you. [21:23] seeing as how he never sang... [21:23] No Border's in Astoria... [21:23] No. C.W. McCall. [21:23] No, Snog, you'll have to "warp" over to Borders. ;-) [21:23] BTW Robert how is the arm this week? [21:23] Looks like we got us a convoy... [21:24] Nah, Joe, maybe you're thinking of Rex Harrison. ;-) [21:24] RobertB, you know it's not a good idea to warp in atmosphere [21:24] * antares51 Warped! [21:24] something ive been looking for is the eprom programmers handbook [21:24] Saw the doctor yesterday... He said another 4 weeks with the splint. [21:25] I think Ronin has a copy of it [21:25] which eprom book are you looking for, KilrPilr? [21:25] cant remember the company that sold it back in the day [21:25] KilrPilr all I got is the manual that came in the box from Bruce Thomas [21:25] Haven't used it yet!

[21:34] Hello Larry. [21:34] i hate to ask as I would have a hard time with something like this but do you think you could send te manula to me , then i could scan it in and then ill send it back? [21:34] Hey, Larry, I see that you are on Iglou! [21:34] hi Larry [21:35] OK regular weekly question. For the guy that asked me about Pocket writer. I have a factory 64/128 with dox in case. [21:35] Dragon Eye BBS ????? [21:35] (i have a video of jeri explaining the ports on the commodore one, but it's really too big to put on my website...) [21:35] yes, robert, I'm giving Iglou a try. [21:35] By the way, on Dragon's Eye I'm #26. [21:35] Yay! And on your Commodore, too? [21:35] KilrPilr: Shade, Ich nicht verstae English all of a sudden [21:35] yes, robert, using it right now :) [21:36] In this box there's also a Promenade C1 EPROM burner and a capture cartridge that look like it's part of the whole mess [21:36] Acea: Me am 33 [21:36] Jonathan, from which event did you get that video? [21:36] SWRAP. [21:36] i have docs for that stuff LA [21:36] Yeah #8 you are listed on that telnet BBS [21:36] Which year, Jonathan? [21:36] it's at 640x480 res... [21:36] Gotta go folks. see you later. [21:36] this most recent one... [21:36] by antares [21:36] 2004 [21:36] Bye, Antares. [21:36] bye antares [21:36] bye antires. [21:36] URL again ???? [21:36] LR: would you be willing to send me the eprom programmers manula so i can scan it in then ill send it back? [21:36] BCNU Antaers [21:37] Oooo, the latest.... one I haven't seen. [21:37] * antares51 (~rick@ip68-110-30-204.om.om.cox.net) Quit (Quit: Next Week!) [21:37] I'm working on some stuff currently [21:37] There's some docs here as well. In a smallr book format [21:37] * lordronin has a disnct hearing problem on manual sending topic [21:37] and some loose 8.5x11 sheets [21:37] so can anybody help me with the big mpg file? [21:37] * lordronin am greedy selfish C= addict with big C= monkey on my back [21:38] understood [21:38] Jonathan, you could try contacting Jason Petersen... he might have room at his site. [21:38] whats the prob DS? [21:38] Copies could be OK [21:38] TELNET address ?????? [21:38] But can do a photo copy and sent that to you. [21:38] RobertB, thanks for the tip on using iglou and also for the info on Ray Carlsen. [21:38] well i would like to shrink the filesize so that i can put it on my site... [21:38] i only have 50 mb to work with... [21:38] No problem, Larry. [21:38] LA i just dont know if copies would work with the ocr program [21:38] dragonseye.dyndn.org [21:38] It may be possible to take a .mp3 and resample it at a lower bitrate thus redicing size... (...and quality...) [21:39] It wouldn't make much difference with this book [21:39] it's a mpg file... (video and audio) [21:39] Handy Scanner in GeoPaint??? [21:39] oops [21:39] The only thing I don't like about Iglou is when the server is waiting, Larry. [21:39] Ray Carlsen repaired three monitors for me, Robert. Shipping costs were bad--$33 each way. [21:39] ok forget it. Any way you want to send it to me would be perfectly fine [21:40] It looks like it could copy ok [21:40] Or I can just type it in and do it as a Post Script [21:40] what about runnng the mpg through DIVX, doesnt that have a high level of compression, seems to be what the movie sharing folks use [21:40] buy a monitor for $66 [21:40] i will take a handy scanner in geos copy too! :) [21:40] Yow! 3 monitors! What types of monitors?? [21:40] RobertB, I've haven' had that problem yet. [21:40] The print is dark enough and clean enough for a good copy. And the newer machines copy well [21:40] What's the port # [21:40] ok LA [21:40] well i think that it makes an 'unregistered' message in the video... [21:40] if not for that, i would do it myself... [21:40] No port # on what I used [21:40] i woudl very much appreciate it and for the favour i will ocr it and put it on the web for everyone [21:41] One 1894, 1902 and a 1702 monitor [21:41] There are some pages with diagrams though in the back. Mostly chip reference [21:41] Can you double check the address spelling [21:41] Hey, Jonathan, what would be good is if you made the video compatible with the WiNGs o.s.. [21:41] All I ask KilrPilr is that C= users be able to see and use the work online [21:41] how would i do that robertb? [21:41] it will be txt files, LR is that ok? [21:41] Text is universial LR [21:41] #8 suggest that you send private to Pnacolada for confirmation [21:42] Well, Larry, now I know Ray can work on those monitors. What was wrong with them? [21:42] BRB, putting EPROM stuff back [21:42] Jonathan, you'd have to contact Greg Nacu and get all the details on video conversion for the C=. [21:42] Well, biased as I am, GeoWrite in Tiems Roman? {VBG} But yeah text is fine. I want the data preserved and passed to others. [21:42] ic. [21:42] They didn't work well, Robert. The 1702 was out completely. [21:43] I'm back [21:43] rehi jbevren [21:43] Didn't know Ray worked on monitors. Got a 1942 that needs repair. [21:43] The video conversion will be in black-and-white, but it will be detailed and have sound. [21:43] mmmmm lobster lo mein [21:43] lordronin: what's in a 1942? [21:43] Mmmm, sounds good and expensive. [21:44] Carlsen does fine repair work on monitors and at a reasonable price too. [21:44] RobertB: $10/qt [21:44] Freller, I get turkey burger tonight. Oh wait I can't eat Lobster anyway. {BG} [21:44] lol [21:44] Not Kosher [21:44] you have my address right LR? [21:44] A bit on the high side but tasty. [21:44] yeah [21:44] the chinese place here is reasonably priced [21:44] actually this was 7.84 [21:44] A 1942 is a VGA monitor. [21:44] mmmm chinese... [21:44] but I gave him a good tip :) [21:45] aha [21:45] My 1942 is a bit dark... I wonder if Ray can fix it. [21:45] please try again [21:45] KilrPilr I am not certain if I do or not. Best to resend in e-mail. I can send a photo coy to you in the future. Finaces permitting. [21:46] ok [21:46] My 1942 got a shower in the old shop [21:46] so whats up tonight [21:46] email is on the way LR [21:46] <_brain_> KilrPilr.... DCC [21:46] Ray can probably fix it, Robert. Contact him by e-mail and explain what is wrong with the monitor. [21:46] * Snoggy (~snogpitch@dialup-4.225.150.57.Dial1.Cincinnati1.Level3.net) has joined #c64friends [21:46] Hi, Snog.
