[20:58] * Now talking in #c64friends [20:58] * Topic is 'We Adore Our C64!!' [20:58] * Set by ChanServ on Thu Dec 16 07:12:12 [20:58] Howdy all [20:58] Hello Snog. [20:58] hello Snog [20:58] small group tonight [20:58] * antares51 whistles "Hail to the Chief" [20:59] * _brain_ hums to "Silver Bells" [20:59] Well, it is interesting. [20:59] hey snog [20:59] I've been whistling it's beginning to look alot like Christmas [20:59] hi snog [20:59] Any snow, Snog? [20:59] today? none [21:00] it's only snowed twice since Thanksgiving, and none of it has been a covering [21:00] Tommorrow might be a different story tho [21:00] Snowed here once. Didn't last long. [21:01] when it's in the 40s during the day, not much chance to build up [21:01] snowing on my commodore screen... running C= Christmas Demo... [21:01] love that demo, wished it was on the DTV :( [21:01] Should get mine out. C64 only $595! [21:02] Should run on DTV... hacked yours yet? [21:02] Didn't hack it yet [21:02] I wonder how soon the next production run will be? [21:03] http://www.orrville.net/petscii/christmas.zip IDE64 version.. (files) [21:04] If it's anytime soon, I might wait and hack the next gen :) [21:05] I told you they'd sell fast. [21:05] what kind of fixing does it need to run on the IDE64 besides the drive#? [21:05] Did "they" (QVC) sell out? [21:05] * JLawless (~jimbo@dialup-4.228.198.242.Dial1.Denver1.Level3.net) has joined #c64friends [21:05] Howdy JLawless [21:05] hi JL [21:06] Hello Mr. Lawless, SIR! [21:06] Hi Snog, Olbit, antares, ...everyone.. [21:06] Yippie more people [21:06] The snow we are expecting tommorrow is supposed to stretch down to Georgia [21:06] antares: I'm trying to talk Valdar out of his old CBM hardware . [21:06] Redid the C64 area of my media room. Easier the use and program. [21:07] I need to do that... [21:07] Must not be talking with enough money, JLawless [21:07] You and Valdar? [21:07] Really??? [21:07] He only checks his e-mail every three or four days, so the conversations are sloow. [21:07] * rbernardo (rbernardo@shell1.iglou.com) has joined #c64friends [21:08] Robert! [21:08] Hello robertB [21:08] * rbernardo is now known as RobertB [21:08] I could use a separated video cable for my 128a. [21:08] Hi, Jeff and Rick. [21:08] I get an e-mail from him every once in a while. I asked if he bought a C64DTV. He said he lost interest in the hobby after Commnet went down. I'm hoping to get a machine from him. [21:08] Howdy RobertB [21:08] Hi, Snog. [21:09] Tired of the losy picture on the Sears SR-3000 monitor in 40 columns. [21:09] hey robert [21:09] Hi, Robert. [21:09] Hi, Jeremy and Ryan. [21:09] Commnet went down? [21:09] Hey, I have a Sears SR-3000 too, running on my BBS computer. :) [21:10] antares: It sounds like it ... maybe after Ron Fick passed away. [21:10] The 3000 is okay for 80 columns but has no provision for separated video. Could use my 1080 for that. [21:11] No. It lasted longer than that. I remember when Valdar shut down the GOCUG board. I co-sysoped. [21:12] BTW Ron helped me get a replacement ROM for my 1581 drive. Sure miss him and SMS Mike. [21:13] Mike's still alive; just gave up on Commodore. [21:13] When did commnet officially die off?> [21:13] * RobinH (MacbthPSW@air-nwc204-168.nwconx.net) has joined #c64friends [21:13] My only correspondence with Ron was regarding CNET128 I think it was [21:13] Oldbit: nice work :) watching twinsted xmas now [21:13] Howdy RobinH [21:13] I have two 1080 monitors; one for the C64 and one spare. [21:13] Hi, Robin. [21:13] Hello RobinH. [21:13] destined: Not sure. [21:13] * Fuzz-PSW (~cadnet@205.211.61.112) has joined #c64friends [21:14] RobinH back to work on the PAL version :-)) [21:14] Hi destined. [21:14] <_brain_> How goes the PAL unit? [21:14] Howdy Fuzz-PSW [21:14] Hi, Fuzz. [21:14] howdy everyone [21:14] :) [21:14] Hello Fuzz. [21:14] Hello Fuzz [21:15] I see the party has started :) [21:15] * jeriatric (MacbthPSW@air-nwc204-168.nwconx.net) has joined #c64friends [21:15] Howdy jeriatric [21:15] Hi, Jeri.

[21:16] Hi, MikeP. [21:16] * MikePaWay is now known as MikeP [21:16] Hi MPW! [21:16] Hi Snogpitch, Robert and Oldbit! [21:16] <_brain_> MikeP, did the units arrive? [21:16] I got my DTVs on Thursday. [21:16] Hey all :) Yeah, working on the PAL one... [21:17] Hi dracosilv :) [21:17] brain: not yet :( i'll bet you they leave a card in the letterbox tommorow.. did you get a tracking number for them ?? [21:17] Did you put them right to work, PhotoJim? [21:17] <_brain_> I did, but it's at work [21:17] RobertB, I've played games on one. The other is safely in its packaging awaiting me learning enough soldering, or finding a volunteer, to hack it :) [21:17] Robin: Hows that PAL work going !? Need someone to BETA test a unit ;) [21:17] Sounds like my plan, PhotoJim. [21:17] MikeP: I'm sure Jeri would be happy to pass out beta units... [21:18] * jeriatric hands Robin a beta unit. [21:18] brain: cool, can you email it to me and we can see whats going on. Personally I think they will arrive tommorow [21:18] * _brain_ had to order parts from DigiKey to mod a unit for someone [21:18] RobinH: Exactly, i think an Australian tester for PAL would be an essential wouldnt you !? [21:18] Time to head back downstairs. Times up and need to get ready for a new day ahead. L8R All. [21:18] I have a PAL monitor. [21:18] I thought my DTV was broken last night :(:(:(:( [21:18] hi jeri [21:19] Hi Jeri [21:19] What happened, Fuzz? [21:19] It is nice to see a good Pacific NW contigent [21:19] Jeri: Did you hear i'm offering my services as an Australian PAL beta tester ;) [21:19] Robert, I think it will be a blast to play with it. :) [21:19] RobertB: it just doesn't like my brother's girlfriend :P he and i played games on it for about 30 minutes. each time she went to play, the system would crash [21:19] Robert: Has that Money Order shown up yet? [21:19] Fuzz: batteries getting low? [21:19] * antares51 (~rick@ip68-110-30-204.om.om.cox.net) Quit (Quit: A good time was had by all!) [21:20] Huh, replace with another from QVC! [21:20] Yes, MikeP. Haven't cashed it yet. [21:20] Robin: fresh batteries. i suspect she might have kept hitting too many buttons each time she picked it up, or hit the reset or power switch or something [21:20] Robert: *phew* good, not lost in the xmas mail rush :) [21:20] anyone "bork" one yet? [21:20] brain: has your money order shown up yet ?? [21:20] Jeri's wrecked a few dozen... [21:20] <_brain_> No [21:21] * MikeP is still waiting on his Atmel book :( [21:21] My problem, MikeP, is if I lost the m.o.. ;-) [21:21] Fuzz: weird, did it just reset? [21:21] Hello Jeri [21:21] Jeri doesn't count... [21:21] Robin: most of the time, yes. 1 or 2 times the screen turned to garbage [21:21] Wrecked a few dozen? Easy come, easy go. ;-) [21:21] she's trying to wreck one of mine too - it's still in pieces [21:21] Jeri created 250,000 so that makes her net +249,988. ;) [21:21] brain: ok, yours was sent last, Tuesday so I didnt think it would have made it yet, another day or two if Roberts is anything to go by [21:22] Robert: hehe, i did that once, lost a cheque for about AUD$10 and found it five years later! [21:22] * jeriatric never burns up electronics. [21:22] Nah, not true, Jeri. [21:23] It's not burning them up. It's letting the smoke out. They need the smoke to work. If you let it out, they stop working. :) [21:23] Shhh! ;) [21:23] * Oldbit thinks jeriatric might end up on Santa's bad list for telling fibs.. :) [21:23] * MikeP notes a lack of use of the words "i want an australian beta tester" from Jeri! [21:23] Ah, the magic smoke. [21:24] bbiab, changing machines [21:24] the machines have dirty diapers? [21:24] later. Gotta get to work. [21:24] BRB. Must get apple pie. [21:24] * jeriatric (MacbthPSW@air-nwc204-168.nwconx.net) has left #c64friends [21:24] work!? [21:24] mmmmm pie :9 [21:24] Pie is good. [21:25] anyone here looking for a c128 with jiffydos by any chance? :) [21:25] I'm back. Must wolf down left-overs before I leave for the holidays. [21:25] mmm...left overs! [21:25] how can there be pie leftovers? [21:25] Fuzz, how much ya askin' for it? [21:26] You can't eat a whole pie in one day! [21:26] Wanna bet, Robert? ;) [21:26] it's currently at $10 CAD on ebay [21:26] Maybe you can't... [21:26] yes I can [21:26] if it's good at least [21:27] Oh, Ebait. :/ [21:27] Nobake pumpkin pie... (Now I can...) [21:27] if it's bad, it may last two [21:27] <_brain_> JL, do you STILL need some equipment? [21:27] brain: any progress on your VIP or IDE projects? [21:27] brain: I was telling Antares that I may be able to pick up the old systems used in the GOCUG BBS. [21:27] <_brain_> Well, I made a $200 DigiKey order for parts [21:28] Pnacolada :P [21:28] wow, lots of parts :) [21:28] <_brain_> I saw that JL... But, we need t know soon. [21:28] <_brain_> I've got a few spares here I can send [21:28] Yow, was that order for a lot of parts, Jim B.? [21:28] brain: ? Why soon? [21:28] <_brain_> Cause I've waited long enough to bug you to write code for me. [21:28] <_brain_> YEs, it was a lot of parts [21:29] <_brain_> 1655X UARTs [21:29] Heh. I'm on vacation for a couple weeks, so I hope to put some effort into getting some hardware. [21:29] <_brain_> CompactFlash conenctors [21:29] <_brain_> DIMM connectors [21:29] For mass production, Jim B.? [21:29] <_brain_> hehe, possibly [21:29] Oooooo! [21:30] <_brain_> Stuff for Nate's DigiMax. [21:30] * LordRonin (~lordronin@CPE-139-168-206-69.sa.bigpond.net.au) has joined #c64friends [21:30] <_brain_> Greg Nacu wants to produce stuff I make. [21:30] Hi LR! [21:30] Ah, the long-awaited DigiMax. [21:30] Hi, LR. [21:30] Hi, Dave M. [21:30] DigiMax uses Compact Flash? [21:30] <_brain_> No... [21:30] Finally made it, took 4 attempts at VCS, kept timing out [21:30] <_brain_> More than one project [21:30] Hoi all!! [21:31] Howdy LordRonin [21:31] <_brain_> Just trying to get parts ordered so I got stuff to do over the holidays [21:31] <_brain_> Parts to mod DTVs [21:31] <_brain_> Seems like I've been buying more than a few to ship to folks. [21:31] Hoi Snogpitch, got a new BBS decker that is looking to buy more C= things. Gotta contact Roger on that [21:31] brain: so do they know you by first name down there at Digikey :) [21:31] g'day mate [21:32] Hoi CameraMan [21:32] I think Roger is out of town until after Christmas [21:32] I gotta get back to work too, later all [21:32] * RobinH (MacbthPSW@air-nwc204-168.nwconx.net) Quit [21:32] The "Do It Yourself C64 DTV Kit" [21:32] Hi, Cameraman. [21:32] <_brain_> MikeP... Dunno, but I'm going to need to make this venture a self sustaining one pretty soon. [21:32] hi rb [21:32] Snogpitch though so as well. Have to dig up the addy from the newsletter and pass it along to my new decker. [21:32] <_brain_> Trying to finish the T232 project [21:32] brain: Greg wants to produce? Wow, cool!! A source for new CBM goodies :) [21:33] after seeing this picture I'm starting to get ideas :) http://home.ica.net/~leifb/commodore /blue64/Img0725.jpg [21:33] T232 .. terminator? [21:33] : D [21:33] How many projects do you have going on concurrently, Jim B.? [21:33] <_brain_> Leif's blue unit is way cool [21:33] brain: it sure is! [21:33] <_brain_> RB, too many [21:33] Fuzz: The red one I used at WoC was cool too.. [21:33] <_brain_> I need to finish some of them... [21:33] Hi lord [21:33] T232... Turbo-232. [21:33] Heya Cameraman [21:33] Hoi MikeP [21:33] hey mp [21:33] Oldbit: definately! any non-standard coloured one is cool :) [21:33] Good evening, LR.. is Alberonn running around in the background? [21:34] * CameraMan breaks out crayons on his 128 [21:34] hi LordRonin [21:34] <_brain_> I don't feel too bad, they were mainly to get my embedded development skills back [21:34] Yeah I like that Fusion Blue one of Leif's [21:34] <_brain_> And see what is state of the art in contorllers and hardware now [21:34] Ah Destine, sorry didn't see your name as the list scrawled past. No LA is out with is new Girl Friend. [21:34] do we know what's on the left hand side of the picture here? http://home.ica.net/~leifb/com modore/64setup.jpg [21:34] * destined hands Cameraman so lycros black paint for his C64 [21:34] Say is Fungus here tonight? [21:34] _brain_ if you ever need someone with a Mac to beta test, keep me in midn [21:34] brain: if your ordering parts on a regular basis do they offer a discount, like wholesale prices or something? [21:34] looks like a soundboard for music recording? [21:34] <_brain_> MikeP. I wish! [21:35] destined: with pink GT stripes no less!! [21:35] _brain_: remember when you need fanatic C= user to test things, where to look [21:35] <_brain_> Fuzz, it is. [21:35] Fungus is on #c-64@ircnet now [21:35] Fuzz: mixer.. [21:35] I prefer a spacey design, like the outer space and planets theme that I saw on an A1200 at the World of Amiga 1999. [21:35] <_brain_> Hehe [21:35] sweet :) wonder what he does with that [21:35] <_brain_> I need to turn one of the units into a selling product, to break even. [21:35] Thanks iAN, was wanting to know if he waws able to open that .D81 i sent him. [21:36] RobertB: How is the arm??? [21:36] brain: still working on serial PPP, expanded the idea a bit :) http://www.orrville.net/petsci i/portmaster [21:37] <_brain_> Nice [21:37] brain: they dont! thats crazy, here some of the shops offer different levels of discount.. Repeat customer, bulk purchase, wholesale (on proof of registered business) etc, maybe time to shop around for a new supplier ! [21:37] Should be able to telnet in by next week... [21:37] LR, last day of therapy was last Monday. Arm and finger strength almost or up to normal. Nerve still has about 58% to go. [21:37] Great to hear Robert. How is the progress on the nerves? [21:38] oldbit: There was an old Circuit Cellar article ( few years ago ) where a guy implemented a small PPP (UDP only) stack on a common microcontroller. ( 256 bytes RAM ). [21:38] does anyone know where I can find any info on how to break down a midi file? I want to convert some midi's to sid files [21:38] oldbit: serial UDP over the modem, that is. [21:38] * sknight (~sknight@200-148-25-4.dsl.telesp.net.br) has joined #c64friends [21:38] Ooops, 48% to go. Still twinging in the arm and thumb, but less and less everyday. The therapist was amazed I had made such progress. [21:38] Hi, Sknight. [21:39] The person who demo'ed the PALM-TO-Serial connection will have his information online soon... [21:39] Hoi sknight [21:39] re all [21:39] Howdy sknight [21:39] Ooops /serial UDP/serial PPP/ [21:39] sid 2 midi [21:39] paid shareware [21:39] Great to hear that, hoping that you get a full 100% [21:39] Ian: i want to go the other way :) [21:39] * Fungus (realfungus@c-24-18-192-140.client.comcast.net) has joined #c64friends [21:39] back. [21:39] yo yo [21:39] you called? [21:39] :D [21:39] oy oy [21:39] LordRonin [21:39] Hoi Fungus, did you get that .D81 I sent? [21:39] Howdy Fungus [21:39] <_brain_> Oldbit, you should be able to do the same with Linux instead of the portmaster [21:40] Midi to SID? The president of the Las Vegas C= Club might know. [21:40] LordRonin: lemme check [21:40] Hi, Fungus. [21:40] brain: yes, but the portmaster is suited for multiple serial PPP links :) -- Might this adapt for your multi-64 BBS idea? [21:40] RobertB: who might that be? I know TMR/Cosine has done it once or twice but he had to do it in steps.. i want to have a program that does it all in 1 shot [21:40] Hey RobertB, Ian, Brain, Fuzz, Dan, destined, LordRonin, etc [21:40] hey Mr Fungus [21:40] sid2 midi can be done, dunno the other way back [21:40] checking mail, brb [21:41] Fuzz, that would be Al Jackson from Las Vegas. He has lots of experience with MIDI and SID. [21:41] <_brain_> Oldbit... Not sure. Most BBSes don't know TCP/IP or PPP [21:41] brain: in truth the portmaster is more or less a linux box crossed with a cisco router... [21:41] He also has a very large SID collection!! [21:42] brain: it supports PPP,SLIP,or telnet... [21:42] hvsc is large :) anyoone has it [21:42] Ian: i figure that if my pc software can display the letters and length of the notes the commodore should be able to do it too [21:42] <_brain_> telnet woudl work. [21:42] Robert: eeh, excellent. sounds like the right person! :) do you happen to have his email addres? [21:42] * Six (~six@nr1-216-196-130-198.fuse.net) has joined #c64friends [21:43] Hi Six!

[21:43] hola Six [21:43] Robert: alrighty, thanks [21:43] * Oldbit ducks out for some more tea... [21:43] hello 6 [21:44] Ah Fungus has returned. Did you find the msg? [21:44] ne1 seen Elwix? [21:44] LordRonin: starbase still broken, can't check [21:44] Hmmm, iced tea... that's what I need. [21:44] Six: not today [21:44] BRB. [21:44] doh .. so busy reading here I missed an ebay auction by 2 min! [21:44] Bummer, I sent the requested file. Base64 encoded of the .D81 collection of the zipped text files as requested. [21:44] them's the breaks [21:45] Fungus: punish dW :) [21:45] Fuzz: nah, it'll be fixed tommorrow or later prolly [21:45] camera: what did you miss out on?

[21:45] aah, ok [21:45] Yuk. What is it with Americans and icky tea? [21:45] * PhotoJim thinks tea ought to contain ... well, tea. From the tea plant. call me fussy. :) [21:45] * PhotoJim makes Six some second flush Darjeeling [21:46] LordRonin: LordAlberon has a Mig online no? I can send stuff there? [21:46] heh .. icky tea [21:46] I'm back. [21:46] I missed an eBay auction last night, because I fell asleep. [21:46] camera: interesting [21:47] camera: your on aussie i see, do you belong to auscbm ?? [21:47] gunpowder's more my speed. :) [21:47] nope [21:47] where do i find that [21:47] * RobertB RobertB returns with raspberry iced tea... (sorry Jeff..) :-) [21:47] lol [21:47] Six, can't say I've had gunpowder, but I have a lovely Dragon Phoenix Pearl... [21:48] * JavaUser1 (~Javauser@ool-43576096.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #c64friends [21:48] Howdy JavaUser1 [21:48] Hi, JavaUser1. [21:48] * JavaUser1 is now known as pheuque [21:48] camera: auscbm-subscribe@yahoogroups.com [21:48] Hi pheuque! [21:48] Hey Rob et all. [21:48] * CameraMan subscribes [21:49] Fungus, ok, sent it a couple days back. To "Fungus" at the remember thinggy [21:49] bloody laga again [21:49] camera: its a local mailing list for us Aussie CBM'ers to discuss, sell, buy or whatever .. its low volume so you dont have to worry about is clogging up your mailbox :) [21:49] Robert: does ajax@wizard.com sound about right? [21:49] Excited about the SDRAM thing. [21:49] Anyone out there read "Retro Gamer" magazine? I just picked up issue #9 today. [21:50] You're right, Fuzz! That's it. [21:50] i have a dialup account that i pay for JUST for junk etc .. well worth the $7/mth : ) [21:50] Robert: great, thanks [21:50] otherwise I exist on cable [21:50] camera: heh, good idea [21:50] I picked up Issue 8 when I was in Virginia a couple weeks ago [21:50] Jim L., I don't get it here. Anything good in it today. [21:50] had it for years .. the spam volume is incredible! [21:50] Haven't read thru it yet [21:51] camera: i use ADSL and use one of my three email address's for web sites i think may spam me [21:51] SD-RAM thing? [21:51] what's in issue 9? [21:51] Robert: The origins of the Amiga and some other CBM stuff. The cover CD has a bunch of remakes of popular 8-bit games from a contest and the submissions and runtimes from the lates Interactive Fiction contest. [21:52] Oooo, sounds good, Jim L. [21:52] ...there's some Speccy stuff, some Gameboy stuff... [21:52] * dracosilv sets mode: +o LordRonin [21:52] Fungus: Lag enede, what is a Mig? for LAs Amiga? [21:52] Lag r-e-a-l bad tonight. [21:52] camera: I had an Optusnet dialup account for something like 8 years and i had to use one of my extra email addy's because in the last year of its existance it got overwhelmed with spam. In the end i killed the account and went ADSL with Ozemail [21:52] LordRonin: Jah [21:52] mikep: good idea [21:52] I'd heard about this mag before, but it sounded a bit expensive. [21:53] Thanks drocosilv, hope it works [21:53] My British friends are saving me some of the first issues of RetroGamer magazine. I'll pick them up later. [21:53] mikep: I don't even use the dialup account .. cheap spam mailbox ; ) and even then I filter it with spampal [21:53] Fungus: Lord Alberonn has his 4000 power tower online with DSL.

[21:54] sure [21:55] LR: I ought to give you an account on my box, it's just "down the road" geographically speaking :) [21:55] camera: I tried using MailWasher but got sick of waiting for it to process mail. i hassled and hassled optusnet over it too, in the end they installed a spam filter which was about 50% effective, just... [21:55] Hoi #8, your double disk and newsletter are at the shop. [21:55] hey Pna [21:55] Or someone more local ought to. It'd improve your IRC experience, I'm sure. :) [21:55] Howdy, Fungus. :) [21:55] Fungus: Why not direct to me? Either e-mail or to the BBS? [21:56] Pnacolda: Would I be able to go through your box with Wave? [21:56] <_brain_> sure [21:56] Whoa, bad movie on Sci-Fi Channel... Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys. [21:56] Alright, I hope to get some time to stop by. [21:56] RobertB: Yeah that is why I am online!! [21:56] bad movie? [21:56] Sounds like a good alternative to the Christmas specials... [21:56] yeah .. spampal works pretty well, and you can target the lists to check against etc .. being the spam account anyway means I don't get alot of 'real' mail on it anyway .. and what I do is filtered to move to particular folders .. bit of a hassle but not to bad [21:56] * _brain_ says there needs to be a vcs type solution in US [21:57] LR: Uh, I assume so. VCS is just a telnet account right? I don't know anything about The Wave, how it operates. [21:57] ANyone wants to explain what this DOOM topic is on comp.sys.cbm is about ? [21:57] Yes, bad movie... lead star is Corey Feldman. [21:57] * _brain_ has a free Linux box.

[21:58] <_brain_> VCS needs a US hub [21:58] Ursula le Guin said she didn't like what they did to Earthsea. [21:58] brain: when i open my store in 2 years (if I do) I'll have lots for you then :P [21:58] Aw, you mean it's not worth it? [21:58] <_brain_> hehe [21:58] LR: Okay, got'cha. [21:59] rb: don't know .. we don't get scifi ch over here. Book is a long time fav of mine, but it sounds a bit dodgy .. Ursula K Le Guin didn't have kind words to say about it [21:59] Store? A Commodore store to visit?! [21:59] _brain_ probably has way more resources than I, but I thought I'd offer at least. [21:59] Robert: unfortunately not.. :( but i will probably have my c128 there to use. and i have a C= clock for the wall already :) [21:59] What did they do to Earthsea [22:00] <_brain_> Pna, I think you actually have more bandwidth [22:00] <_brain_> How much up and downstreaam you all have at the univ?
