[20:57] hmm, I wonder if Yeahronimo will do the game download thing at some point [20:57] don't know. [20:57] No real news lately from them. [20:58] what for? [20:58] there are c64 games all over the net [20:58] Bit worrying that so many cops know you... i know a few, but they're all perverts so it's not a problem what i do... =-) [20:58] lol [20:58] ian: they've said they will do a game download thing [20:58] could make some enhanced stuff [20:58] but i dream [20:58] and i repeat, what for :D [20:59] * JLawless (~jimbo@dialup-4.228.18.239.Dial1.Denver1.Level3.net) has joined #c64friends [20:59] bah [20:59] Hello everyone.

[21:00] Thanks for the topic change Snog. [21:00] Howdy RobertB [21:01] RobertB!!! [21:01] Hello RobertB [21:01] Hi, antares and Rick B. [21:01] evening Robert [21:01] hi antares [21:01] Hi, TechWolf. [21:02] <_brain_> JL, greetz [21:02] <_brain_> Well, and all... [21:02] * twbrown (~Javauser@adsl-068-209-235-192.sip.tys.bellsouth.net) has joined #c64friends [21:02] hello everyone [21:02] Howdy twbrown [21:02] evening all :) [21:02] Hello tw. [21:02] Hi, Thomas. [21:02] RobertB, you have a new isp? info looks different tonight [21:02] Hi, MikeP. [21:02] hi robert [21:03] Okay, so has everyone but me been mining info from the net.micro.cbm archives at Google? [21:03] Nope, using my parents' computer at their house. [21:03] * TMR{C0S} waves like a mad thing at the new arrivals. =-) [21:03] ah, that would account for it :) [21:03] <_brain_> JL, well, I have [21:03] howdy Jim [21:03] * Pnacolada goes back to lurking. [21:03] I found the term.c1 source there ... some actual posts from people who had used Promal ... lots of early discussions of Brian Hilchie's C compiler... [21:04] * TMR{C0S} prods Pnacolada before he goes; any other demo coding terms you wanted translating? =-) [21:04] net.micro.cbm ??? what is that? [21:04] Could use a copy of Promal. [21:04] net.micro.cbm became comp.sys.cbm... [21:04] MikeP: the forerunner to comp.sys.cbm basically; USENet from Ye Olde Days (tm) [21:04] MikeP, that was the old name of comp.sys.cbm. [21:04] Antares: Had you used Promal back in the day? [21:05] oh ok, and have the archives just been made available? [21:05] what is the newest post of net.micro.cbm? [21:05] The archives are available through Google. [21:05] Read a lot about it. It was very, very good! [21:05] Someone posted a reminder in c.s.c. about reading net.micro.cbm ... so I did... via Google groups. [21:05] time frame wise that is [21:05] snog: fall of 86 or something... [21:06] TMR{C0S}: If I think of any, I'll let you know. [21:06] ah, ok, still before I got online then [21:06] Okeydokey. [21:06] AOL scrapped Usenet. [21:06] Lots of chatter about Skyles 1541 Flash! bugs too. [21:06] Those bastards. [21:06] * TMR{C0S} doesn't claim to be a dictionary of terms, but knows most of them... =-) [21:06] dammit, what's the best sid player for windows, I've misplaced mine on my very messy pc [21:07] sidplay2/w [21:07] What iAN said. [21:07] Don't you use shortcuts on your PC? [21:07] * idigital is very lazy [21:07] http://www.gsldata.se/c64/spw/ [21:07] 1541 Flash bugs? I didn't there were any. [21:07] tsk, tsk...messy pc [21:07] hehe [21:07] * TMR{C0S} used to use shortcuts until he managed to get into an infinite loop once between all four hard drives... [21:07] I keep mine SPOTLESS!!! [21:07] * antigen (na@user-38lc4d2.dialup.mindspring.com) has joined #c64friends [21:08] Hello Antigen. [21:08] Howdy antigen [21:08] Hi, Antigen. [21:08] ta [21:08] evening antigen [21:08] i have data spread out over about eight hard drives on three different machines... [21:08] i use Far Manager so no need to use shortcut. i have 10 or so icons or desktop bu never use them :) [21:08] hello [21:08] Does anyone have a version of the Logo language for C64/C128? [21:09] * TMR{C0S} is a hoarder, but that does have it's advantages... got asked for the original Tyger Tyger source code the other day and still had it! =-) [21:09] JLawless, you mean the one Commodore put out? [21:09] Jason, how do you keep organized with the data spread out so far? [21:09] Snog: That one would be fine. [21:09] * antares51 hoards lots of programs and books/magazines. [21:09] JLawless: i have it, english and italian :) [21:09] Who said i was organised? i just fluke it a lot of the time! =-) [21:09] Yes, I have Logo Jim L. [21:10] i accidentally trashed a Goat workfile the other day too and recovered it from a copy of my *old* C drive that was stashed on my F from the last reinstall... [21:10] Is a copy publically available? [21:10] I don't know about that, Jim L. [21:10] might be on Funet [21:11] My second fastest machine still has the initial install of XP on it. Runs clean. [21:12] * TMR{C0S} wouldn't use XP even if Bill Gates himself paid me...

[21:13] Hello Golan. [21:13] Hi, Golan. [21:14] 2K does the job pretty well, i haven't even touched the server for a week and it still moves like lightning when i take it out of lock. [21:14] Howdy golan [21:14] My newest sperbox has 2K on it. [21:14] err superbox. [21:15] * TMR{C0S} has a little fiddling about to do though, cosine.org.uk gets a total revamp on Feb 1st and i have to mess around living that... [21:15] Just can't run 64HDD on it. :-( [21:16] <_brain_> Brad Templeton looks to have opened net.micro.cbm on Apr 23, 1983... [21:16] * TMR{C0S} gave up on 64HDD, none of mine touch it and that includes the two P150 laptops... [21:16] A revamp? Are you improving the look of the site, Jason, or are you adding more? [21:16] * Six-STL (~Six@nr17-66-117-223-239.fuse.net) has joined #c64friends [21:16] Hi, Six. [21:16] Got two boxes reserved for 64HDD. [21:16] Anyone seen Leif tonight? [21:16] :) :) [21:16] Hello Six. [21:16] 'evening friends [21:16] TMR, not even for $60 Billion [21:16] tmr: whats wrong with 64hdd? [21:16] I'm currently at Valentine's day '85 and moving backwards... interesting stuff ( REL file bugs, early reports of Commodore's demise, early Amiga stuff... ) [21:16] RobertB: both, we've got a new look (it's all based on the Pepto palette) and i'm putting a new Plus/4 demo out at the same time. Plus we've added a few previously missing products. [21:17] Not yet, Golan. [21:17] <_brain_> My fave is posts by Dave Haynie and Fred Bowen [21:17] MikeP: refuses to work on my machines, spent a day fiddling with it on five boxes. [21:17] My headache with 64hdd is the LFN seed file ATM. [21:17] * TMR{C0S} also has a load of PHP driving cosine.org.uk so it's far easier to update now! [21:17] Ah, the Plus 4... it will work on my PAL Plus 4. [21:17] Try using 23 boxes. [21:17] brain: Yeah, they're very active. I wish I'd had net access at the time. [21:18] Had a drive crash, can't find my copy of 64HDDPro. [21:18] My LianLi case is gonna look silly with a 1541 on top of it. [21:18] <_brain_> hehe, I was 12 when that group started. [21:18] * TMR{C0S} only has five boxes he can get into the right part of the house for 64HDD... the others aren't easily moved. =-) [21:19] Nah, Dopple, the 1541 will look silly with the LianLi case. :-) [21:19] tmr: ok, i've had it on three different pc's over time and it's worked flawlessly on all of them, go figure! [21:19] RobertB: the Plus/4 release is called Radiant, it has a couple of firsts as far as i'm aware... [21:19] RobertB, haha yea... [21:19] 64HDD doesn't like NT. [21:19] must watch the "the Rock" with Sean Connery [21:19] well, good thing telix still works in 2k... [21:19] Leif told me to try Zone Ranger and it looks like a great game but I can't get past the title screen. I'm wondering if I'm missing something (inevitably). [21:20] * TMR{C0S} only started installing 2K after playing with 64HDD - all the boxes were 98SE at that point. [21:20] NT requires a device driver. Possible but not easy! [21:20] i think Einhander is an older '98 though. [21:20] golan: hit space ;) [21:20] * idigital (~idigital@dialup-131.41.194.203.acc01-wick-bne.comindico.com.au) has joined #c64friends [21:20] re [21:20] messy pc punishing me [21:21] hehe [21:21] * Fuzz-PSW (~cadnet@205.211.52.54) has joined #c64friends [21:21] Yeager flight simulator requires a .

[21:21] tmr: I run 64HDD Pro off a PC/104 box which runs Win98SE and auto boots to dos and runs 64hdd, works like a charm and is no bigger than a 1541 MK2 [21:21] 34 "guests". WOW! [21:21] One first is the first ever hand-drawn DFLI logo... the other one i'm keeping quiet about until release... [21:22] allo sirs [21:22] what's DFLI? [21:22] TMR: that was the wrong stick!! that was the Pointy Stick of Beatings :( [21:22] DoppleFLI :) [21:22] Hand-drawn! That sounds like a lot of work. [21:22] Double FLI, 264 specific variant of FLI that gives 8x2 pixel attribute cells in bitmap. [21:22] Was a fair bit of work... i didn't bother writing any conversion tools or anything... [21:23] ya boffin! ;) [21:23] ...and PAL? [21:23] * TMR{C0S} typed in three blocks of colour data for 40x5 character areas into the sodding assembler... said i was a masochist! [21:23] ...shoulda seen the strange looks I got luggin' a sx64 into work one day... [21:23] Yup, PAL only. [21:23] woah! heheh [21:23] * Village18 (Village18@216.190.15.23) has joined #c64friends [21:23] silly PAL [21:23] :) [21:23] Be proud, Dopple! Just say that it's a Commodore. [21:23] Hello Village. [21:24] Hi! :) [21:24] Hi, Village18. [21:24] * idigital awards tmr the golden chalice of dedicated obsessiveness in demo creation [21:24] * TMR{C0S} makes that about 4,800 bytes of data since the picture needs colour *and* luma data... [21:24] RobertB, well, one of the directors is kinda like me, but on the apple/mac stuff... he's a geek, has all kinds of toys, and enjoys his newton [21:24] Heard Apple may reintroduce the Newton. [21:25] * idigital wants a mac mini [21:25] Hmmm, get lots of old Mac graphics and convert them to GEOS. [21:25] first time I lugged my SX64 into work, people thought it was a projector [21:25] idigital: the reason it's double FLI is that it only happens every other rasterline; the TED generates two badlines rather than one, the second is to fetch the luma data. [21:26] * idigital wonders if there'll be some newly named techniques for the dtv ;) [21:26] Read a review of a Shuttle X86-64 cube. Better than the mini! [21:26] I have one of those Casio ZPDA's... "zoomer" [21:26] * JavaUser1 (~Javauser@dialup-4.235.99.211.Dial1.Orlando1.Level3.net) has joined #c64friends [21:26] Hello JU. [21:26] Hi, JavaUser1. [21:26] Howdy JavaUser1 [21:26] So how is everyone? [21:26] mac mini, it's so sexy [21:26] In theory, the DTV uses the same techniques but just adds new twists... depends on what's actually in there as to what it can and can't do... [21:26] Ack. I'll be back in a bit. Gotta sort something out. [21:26] Stuffed on Spaghetti!

[21:27] I feel better than last night, Village. [21:27] Okies here ;) [21:27] Just need a smaller floppy drive for it. [21:27] ah, 1541-II [21:27] * TMR{C0S} hasn't read all the docs on the DTV's DMA yet but if it can do what i *think* it can, i have some interesting ideas... [21:27] Take photos of it when you're finished, Dopple. [21:27] * TMR{C0S} is fine ta Village18, just half asleep since it's half past two in the morning... =-) [21:27] * rcade (c64pp@pcp416471pcs.martnz01.ga.comcast.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [21:28] Jason is very dedicated for staying up so late.

I hve too many damn hobbies... [21:28] Better to have many hobbies than too few. [21:28] antares51: i'm on "programmer's coffee" right now... it's strong enough to strip paint. [21:28] RobertB, between Off-roading (mudnuts.org), firearms and shooting, my PC's, My C= machines, and the Wife... I'm busy [21:29] * TMR{C0S} has *lots* of hobbies... =-) [21:29] Ooo, strong enough to clean carburetors! [21:29] I stand ashameably corrected TMR. [21:29] eheh, coder's coffee! [21:29] Gunk Coffee Maker? [21:29] don't get TMR started on his hobbies ;) [21:29] the wife qualifies as a hobby? [21:29] YES! [21:30] * TMR{C0S} has his fiancee and three little hobbies (plus four more including the cats and new puppy...! =-) [21:30] I wish I had that hobby sometimes. ;-) [21:30] well, she takes up time like a hobby [21:30] lol [21:30] better hope she doesn't read the transcripts... [21:30] Prefer computers to wife: Computer has an off switch. [21:30] hehe [21:31] Just some creative editing on the chat log, Snog. ;-) [21:31] 4Robert B. what the date for Lucki spring meet? [21:31] The Boss is fairly cool about me doing C64-related stuff, although i have to put up a fight to get new kit into the house... got a USB Competition Pro for doing C64 stuff recently, but might have a few problems ordering more than one PAL DTV when they turn up... [21:32] hehe [21:32] I was told it was May 14-15, but that hasn't been confirmed. [21:32] damnit, how do I do a 1 sided disk format on a 71... i hate when i forget this stuff [21:32] still nothing on LUCKI's website last I looked [21:32] (without going into 64 mode, that is) [21:32] TMR: you could always store it at my house ;) [21:32] * TMR{C0S} never used his C128D from C128 mode so can't help... [21:32] Dopple, I think it's a U# command [21:32] oh [21:32] 4O.K. Robert B. Thank [21:32] Fuzz: yeah, like she'd be happy about the air fare for me to visit my stuff! =-) [21:32] (it's coming back to me slowly) [21:33] I.... read it someplace [21:33] Easy, Dopple... just go to C64 mode if you have a C128, or use a C64. [21:33] RobertB, yea, i know... I just remember there was a way to swtich it without doing that... eh, i'll just do that [21:33] Oh, without going to 64 mode. [21:33] Dopple, I have a '71 manual right here, let me look. [21:33] cuz then i gotta go back to 40 col mode... :) [21:33] dopple: its either U0>M0 or U0>M1 [21:33] TMR: true.... [21:33] MikeP, that's it! [21:33] * levay (levay@isis.visi.com) has joined #c64friends [21:33] Hi, Craig. [21:34] Hello levay. [21:34] * TMR{C0S} used that C128D for close to ten years and doesn't remember it ever getting into C128 mode... [21:34] Howdy Roberto....hows Fresno? [21:34] Foggy for most of the day. [21:34] I never took that chance of putting in the wrong command, I just formated the disks as I got them..some 1541s and some 1571s [21:34] 4SyS64357 [21:34] tmr: when i used my c128 it rarely went into c128 mode, i just liked the look and keyboard of the 128D [21:35] Still have about 6 inches on the ground out here...dark and gloomy only the northern plains is like this year.. [21:35] Gloomy here too in Omaha. [21:35] MikeP: in my case, i had an AR6 in the back so it was powered up with the Commodore or control key held down 90% of the time... [21:35] Yeech, sounds far worse than here, Craig. [21:36] it's about 40C here today [21:36] BRB. [21:36] tmr: originally i only bought the 128D so i could play with CP/M, got sick of that pretty quickly :) [21:36] idigital> Where are you at? [21:36] I only played with cpm when i didnt know messdos. [21:36] Been reading your travels and C= stuff on West Coast shows...you have far more action going on out there than in Minnesota. [21:36] He's on his own likkle planet [evil grin =-] [21:36] I'm back. [21:36] to set 1541 mode: OPEN15,8,15,"U0>M0" [21:36] that's right [21:36] I'm kinda assuming there's absolutely nothing c= going on in NY state... [21:37] we're planning to invade and steal your snow [21:37] Snogpitch, thaks! [21:37] 40C sounds like either Israel or Australia. [21:37] Snogpitch, or with jdos @U0>M0 :) [21:37] not israel [21:37] i got the C128D because it had the external keyboard, the internal drive wasn't even there and i never got around to replacing it; had a 1541 and 1581 connected. [21:37] dopple: the computers at the school i went to use cp/m so i knew it pretty well [21:38] idigital> Where in Australia? [21:38] tmr: i think the majority of people around today own a C128D for similar reasons, I am sure some of them use C128 mode, but i think most like the compactness of the case and the nice k/b. [21:38] Anyone know if Ray Carlson the C= repair guy is still in business in Calif.? [21:38] queensland [21:38] MikeP, I graduated in '92, so I used apple //'s, mac's, 286/386 pc's [21:38] Hey, Craig... all you have to do is to set up your own C= show. [21:38] MikeP, but I always preferred my C='s at home... [21:38] tmr: so the ring mod is what made the cool sounds in IO? [21:38] * antares51 likes CP/M. [21:39] I have to start modding my 128D now. Have to add front panel reset switches, drive # switches, and jiffydos. [21:39] dopple: i finished school in 87, started in 83 so Z80 machines running CP/M were in the in thing [21:39] idigital: yeah, some of it's messing with the pulse width but Whittaker's sound effects are heavy on the ring mod. [21:39] i love those fx [21:39] Craig, Ray Carlsen is in Ethel, Washington... and yes, he still repairs C= stuff. [21:39] yeah who didnt prefer their C= at home!! [21:39] MikeP, only the insane :) [21:39] <_brain_> Hmmm, down... Was not aware it was down. [21:39] Yes, my own show...Amiga 1200 in one room and C+128 in the other...hehehe....even have a hapless Apple 2 around here some place...hehehe. [21:40] blew the cp/m machines away, with their crap graphics and colours that the kids who owned them though was awesome [21:40] * TMR{C0S} used to like the machine at work... that said, was working in a computer shop at the time and the C64 there had an AR6 in as well... =-) [21:40] Oooo, there you go, Craig. [21:40] <_brain_> Well, up now... [21:40] yeah, Action Replay, the coder's friend :) [21:40] I gotta try to get Bob Panek on IRC.... [21:41] Don't leave home without it... [21:41] Started out on a TRS-80 Model I in 1978. [21:41] Ethel, Washington...hmmm...think he has a website...my local C= repair does not want to work much of Commies anymore and looking for some repair/mod work.

[21:41] hehe [21:41] By the way, I was offered an A1200 for free, Craig. Now all I have to do is to get to San Francisco to pick it up. [21:41] ah right! this is the AR5 that i replaced the buttons on! [21:41] i have an AR image setup in vice [21:41] The first computer in our house was a TRS-80 pocket computer.

SX64, 64's, 128's, 4040 drives, we bought out a school's C= stuff for $50. [21:42] first computer in my house was a locally distributed 6502 based thing [21:42] Antares: Got a SS V4 in a sealed box for sale. [21:42] followed by the C64 a couple of years later [21:42] * PJimAFK is now known as PhotoJim [21:42] yeah, does make vice a bit awkward to use, but makes it feel more like a real c64 ;) [21:42] First machine i had was a VIC20 in 1982, but i was programming one a year earlier by going to a local shop once a week and using their display machine... [21:42] Having my dad as the president of CEBUG... we had people calling us selling hardware [21:42] Yes, even A1200s are goingg on the wayside now....first one I paid was $190 now last and best one by C= Phillipines is being typed on as we speak. [21:43] Late as i was answering twbrown BBS mail. [21:43] No wonder I couldnt sign in [21:43] heheh sorry bout that :) [21:43] I had a VIC-20 and modem after I sold my Amiga 500. ( I needed a terminal and wasn't going to be able to buy another computer for a while. ) [21:43] Sorry for anything I said or did last week. My shop cat was stolen and I was bummed out and pissed. In both meanings of the word. [21:43] CEBUG? Where is that located? [21:44] shop cat? [21:44] There's been some kick-arse VIC demos lately, plus Astro Nell is cute as hell... [21:44] My father just left for the Philippines today, Craig. I was tempted to ask him to look for C= stuff there. [21:45] Snogpitch: yeah an abandoned black female [21:45] maybe he will anyway, RobertB :) [21:45] Im gonna go get something to eat. talk to you all later [21:45] brb [21:45] + [21:45] * MikeP is now known as MikePaWay [21:45] BCNU WVilalge [21:45] anyone know if a C1 will fit inside an xbox casing [21:45] <_brain_> Anyone have a GeoRAM? [21:45] * Village18 (Village18@216.190.15.23) Quit [21:45] Sure don't. [21:45] Xbox isn't stock ATX is it...? [21:46] Escom A1200 are junk...one I had had a bad circuit trace when the board heated up...the Phillopines ones are better built... [21:46] _brain_, I havent seen one of them in god knows how long [21:46] no idea but its basically a pc so it might be [21:46] Plus it is true. Have my log on notes and am here through _brain_ system. [21:46] * JerFading (~Jerblows@4.27.140.171) has joined #c64friends [21:47] I didn't know that, Craig. [21:47] Howdy JerFading [21:47] afternoon [21:47] Hi, Jeri. [21:47] Howdy. [21:47] Hello Jeri [21:47] * JerFading is now known as Jerplop [21:47] Got a mess of C= things in yesterday. 8 sealed boxes of Geos 2.0. 1084 and a 1084S monitor. I'm keeping the covox voice master sets [21:47] Hello Jeri! [21:47] so how goes the PAL DTV? ;) [21:47] Hoi Jeri [21:47] * TMR{C0S} waves sleepily at Jerplop... [21:47] Are you fading/plopping already, Jeri? [21:47] Things are going well. [21:48] cool [21:48] Not too tired tonight. [21:48] You got a Covox Voice Master, LR? Nice. [21:48] Some of the Escom ones have an intermittent bad circuit trace and only when the board has been heating for awhile do they show up...of course Escom made them in FRANCE!! [21:48] * PhotoJim waves at everyone [21:48] Hi, PhotoJim. [21:48] i heard the DTV sound examples Macbeth posted Jeri, is that pretty much what the PAL unit'll do or...? [21:48] Watching some TMR demos [21:48] I have Voice Master, Ryan. [21:49] I have SAM. [21:49] TMR Pretty much. You have a bit more control of the envelope and waveforms now. [21:49] Pna* got the full one and the smaller one in the box. Don't know what to do with the 1764 in the box with PS or the 1700 REUs [21:49] i have the voice master jr... SAM was neat [21:49] Picked up the DTV at KB toyes at Mall of America for $10 plus sales taxes...had a blast for two hours with it...hehehe [21:49] That's cool, Robert. Charlie Andrews worked on that also. He was a busy guy. :) [21:49] Dopple: Have copies of SAM. Need to play with it more. [21:49] i was more thinking about ring mod, i could be wrong but the bit of Cybernoid Mac recorded dropped the ring mod stuff entirely...? [21:49] still no DTV for me :( [21:50] * PhotoJim fondles his DTVs sickeningly :) [21:50] lordronin, need it? [21:50] TMR. I've never noticed that. [21:50] My Las Vegas C= friends keep telling my $10 DTV's are at their KB Toys. [21:50] I wish we had KB Toys in Canada. I'd buy a couple more. [21:50] Dopple, the sam copies or the ancient REUs/ [21:50] Ryan, I didn't know that. [21:50] lordronin, sam [21:50] Yep. [21:50] Ring and sync are fully digital. I don't know how it could get dropped. [21:50] lordronin, I still use my 1750, it's a 1meg unit now [21:51] Think I have one factory and a dozen back ups. Dox sadly are photo copies :-( [21:51] lordronin, oh, then u dont need it... ok :) [21:51] There's what i'm reasonably sure is a ring modded sound around 24 seconds into Cybernoid 2 - it might be filtered as well, though...? [21:51] my superlong life low power bulb just died L( [21:51] Gave two 1764 units made into 1750 units by CMD to members of the local group. They helped pay for the shipment. Came from Cove Shool in Oregon. [21:51] Better start searching them out Roberto, I think these joysticks ain't going to last long...unless Mammoth does another run...any news about that Jeri? [21:52] TMR. More likely the filters, since there is no filters at all. [21:52] no filters... [21:52] * smilertoo still waiting for PAL [21:52] <_brain_> levay, I am here... (re: question in EFNet #c64friends) [21:52] The chips have no analog and FIR's are pretty big. [21:53] * TMR{C0S} is surprised that a filtered sound would get dropped rather than playing "loud" though...? [21:53] levay. I don't know if there will be another run. [21:53] what do ye mean jeri? [21:53] Hello Jim B...tried at the other IRC but IRC has been up and down as of late with my ISP shell account... :-( [21:54] you mean that there might not be any more? [21:54] quite busy in here all of a sudden :) [21:54] * TMR{C0S} is used to 8580 at the moment, close to naff all filters anyway... =-) [21:54] TMR. The filters have feedback which can generate their own tones. [21:54] hm [21:54] damn, gotta get on QVC and get more. [21:54] I'll retract that [21:54] Ah... that explains a few sounds i managed to come up with and didn't understand... =-) [21:54] Has anyone ever seen a dual drive 128D system? [21:54] <_brain_> levay, this is the right one [21:55] lordronin, i wish. [21:55] I prefer my oldy but goody Commodores. [21:55] * TMR{C0S} isn't into sound, just ad-libs from time to time when the Cosine members who actually know music are busy... [21:55] Has anyone added another '41 to a SX? I have been contemplating it... [21:55] LR, do you mean a factory dual-drive C128DCR? [21:55] i hear it strains the psu [21:55] It looks like Yeahronimo is more interested in the eVIC/mPET [21:55] Any news from those guys ? [21:56] well, that'd make sense considering they're a music oriented company [21:56] bbiab [21:56] I've seen a FD-2000 put into a SX. [21:56] * TMR{C0S} remembers the SX PSU being a bit weak anyway...? [21:56] eVIC/mPET? [21:56] i dont think i wanna hack my fd2k... just another '41 would be nice. [21:56] music players [21:56] Fuzz: think iPod without the Apple brand... [21:56] Jim B., have to use the irc.aohell.org address and it works mucho better... [21:56] making "backups" easier. [21:56] stick a tiny tft in the sx, save power [21:56] aaah [21:56] smilertoo, yea, good idea. [21:57] basically music player and a music-player+USB memory combo [21:57] * JLawless (~jimbo@dialup-4.228.18.239.Dial1.Denver1.Level3.net) has left #c64friends [21:57] I have one... k-mart had some of these little 5" TFT tv's for $129 a while back [21:57] yeahronimo president mentioned to the classic computers mailing list guy that the new eVic (ipod clone) would be able to play c64 games [21:57] Dopple, it would have to be a half-height drive, just like the SX-64's original. [21:57] probably just a comment without backing tho [21:57] i think one of mine needs a new monitor, it's old one wasn't happy last time i fired it up... [21:57] RobertB, yea, hack a working 41 to take the mech. out... just I'm not sure of what other stuff it'll need, like the whole '41 motherboard or whatnot... [21:57] The Yeahronimo president talks a mailing list? [21:57] This is why my focus now relating new C=-ish hardware is the DTV (now) and C-1 [21:58] the guy interviewed the yeahronimo president [21:58] Wildstar: of course... learning to code first might be an idea...? =-) [21:58] Yes, OBVIOUSLY [21:59] Oh, that interview. [21:59] wasnt mentioned in the interview tho [21:59] The hourglass is nearly out of sand... [21:59] the guy mentioned it in the mailing list [21:59] DS is well suited to a c64 emu...run a keyboard on the bottom screen [21:59] * TMR{C0S} peers at the hourglass and turns it upside down for a laugh. [21:59] Of course, learning to code among the current things. [21:59] ... [21:59] Oh, I communicated with Joe Ekaitis lately... he's still around. (T.H.E. Fox Comics) [22:00] brilliant smilertoo! [22:00] And I'll need to retire... [22:00] neat idea! [22:00] Bye! [22:00] l8r antares51 [22:00] What is Joe doing these days? [22:00] * TMR{C0S} considers heading off to get some sleep.... [22:00] Bye, Antares. [22:01] * antares51 (~rick@ip68-110-30-204.om.om.cox.net) Quit (Quit: This is FUN!) [22:01] anyway, it was mentioned by the yeahronimo president, which is interesting [22:01] Yeah, bollocks to it - i need to get some sleep tonight... G'bye, all. =-) [22:01] l8r [22:01] niters TMR{C0S} [22:01] Bye, Jason [22:01] TMR{C0S} - learning to program just didn't fit the logic of the sentence structure that I was talking about but yes - learning to code is among the "things to learn" list. [22:02] * TMR{C0S} (~tmr@cpc3-leed5-5-0-cust177.ldst.cable.ntl.com) Quit (Quit: www.cosine.org.uk / www.oldschool-gaming.com) [22:02] later TMR [22:03] Last time I heard a comment about Joe E was when QT from GEnie mentioned she was putting his stuff on her website [22:03] * BR\CSD (BR_CSD@ip70-178-235-156.ma.dl.cox.net) Quit [22:04] Sorry if I missed any msg to me. Can't back scroll yet and doing private. Learning how this works. [22:04] http://starbase.globalpc.net/~zig/Fox/the_fox__page_1.htm [22:04] RobertB, I'm not sure excatly what he's doing, lemme find the email [22:04] How is Astoria...weather, Ronin? [22:05] Question, has anyone tried to read data that was burned on a DVD rather than a CD on the CD Rom Commander? [22:05] levay: cool and constant threat of rain. The normal for this time of year [22:05] * Schema (~zzz@209.151.141.59) has joined #c64friends [22:05] Here's what Joe Ekaitis sent me: I've been spending a lot more time writing than drawing and a publisher has [22:05] bought one of my manuscripts. The book, a middle reader novel about a [22:05] griffin living in the present day, should be out by the end of 2005 or early [22:05] 2006. [22:05] dopple: i do know that the storage bay is held in place with screws which are on a bracket that matches up with floppy drive screw holes. so the fit should be fine, not sure about the PS tho [22:05] Hi, Leif. [22:06] Hi Robert, hi all [22:06] Hoi Schema [22:06] * MikePaWay is now known as MikeP [22:06] * Fuzz-PSW (~cadnet@205.211.52.54) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [22:06] a griffin living in the present day? [22:06] MikePaWay, yea, i know the drive will physically fit... I just dont knwo if the SX MB will have a spot to plug it into, or if i'll have to retrofit a MB out of a 41 into the SX [22:06] does it eat children? [22:06] hehe [22:06] shrug [22:06] dopple: u have to retrofit the 1541 board [22:06] dopple: the SX controller is only designed for a single drive mechanism [22:07] do you have a c=1 w*? [22:07] I'm sure Joe wouldn't mind hearing from this crew, his email addy is JoeEkaitis@compuserve.com [22:07] Thanks for that, Dopple. [22:07] he's a Compuserve guy now? [22:08] hmmmm, wonder what forums he frequents? [22:08] no clue... :) [22:08] Reason I asked about the dual drive 128D was that I saw one on Thursday in Mad Maxs collection. Nope I didn't get to "liberate" it :-( [22:08] lordronin, damn you. [22:08] LR, you saw his collection in-person? [22:09] Never see much of the obscure C= out my way...usually C=64 and the odd C=128...few if any 128DCR or any of the business machines. [22:09] not at the momeny [22:09] moment [22:10] look what I stumbled upon: http://lightbolt.com/c128chips.html [22:10] Yuppers, even a PAL 64. Nope couldn't get that one either. All I got was a UPS. That has a problem in the charge. Probbaly a cop. Need to research that more. [22:10] have you got a dtv? [22:10] yes [22:10] modded it yet? [22:10] opps read that as a "cap" [22:10] got to get cash and get the connectors [22:10] two connectors and some good wires. [22:10] Got one of the DTV joysticks...walked in to KayBee Toyes (now in bankruptcy)... [22:11] KBToys is officially in bankruptcy now? [22:11] Yes, how many more KB's will disappear (or will all of them go)? [22:12] Yes, they declared Chap. 11 last year and get the impression that they are cleaning out inventory.... [22:12] KB has the C= curse. [22:12] Nah, the Amiga curse! ;-) [22:13] jeri: was just thinking the same thing. I think Jack Tramiel put a hex on the C= name when they booted him out [22:13] seems likely [22:13] Robert Reminds me, there was the Maverick Buddy in a slim line drive in that stuff I scored yesterday. [22:13] Maverick Buddy? [22:13] <- back, but mostly watching :) [22:13] never heard of the MB either... [22:14] Hard to say...several locally have closed but have an open one yet in Mall of America...they had a little stack of joysticks then....guy behind the counter said they had sold a LOT of them over the past few weeks. [22:14] brb, lunch [22:14] I been painfully slow on getting the connectors. [22:14] :9 [22:14] One day I must visit the Mall of America. [22:14] That'd be a lot of walking around. [22:14] I've been to West Edmonton Mall. it's bigger than Mall of America, but there's no KB Toys in it. [22:15] No problem! [22:15] my tv is too old for ntsc stuff [22:15] PAL [22:15] we wants the PAL [22:15] they're closing the KB in Canandaiuga, NY... 70+% offa everything [22:15] chilli chicken bits, yum [22:15] brb [22:15] I was a West Edmonton Mall last summer, and PJ is right... no KB Toys there. [22:15] Mall of America is a collosal tourist trap...but has a few good stores I like...like a Sears with a FULL tool department....hehehe.. [22:15] Smilertoo, then it's time for a new t.v.! ;-) [22:16] Oooo, tourist trap! [22:16] RobertB, the same developer that built West Ed built Mall of America. M of A was supposed to be bigger, but they scaled it down a little. it's barely smaller, though. [22:16] * JavaUser1 (~Javauser@dialup-4.254.131.151.Dial1.Orlando1.Level3.net) has joined #c64friends [22:16] I didn't know that, PJ. [22:16] Hi, JavaUser1. [22:17] 4.nick SCUP128 [22:17] If it's a tourist trap, do employees wear tourist repellant? [22:17] SCUP128 ? [22:17] RobertB yes... the Ghermezian brothers. I think they're Afghan or Azerbaijani or something. They live in Edmonton. [22:17] [22:17] Use /nick to change your name. [22:18] Ghermezian Brothers...couple of Armenian guys came down here 15 years ago and got the thing built and then promptly left town...they just finished a frickin' big IKEA next to it.... [22:18] BTW type /nick SCPU128 [22:18] he's probly got messy fingers [22:18] :) [22:18] lol Pna [22:18] heh [22:18] now that I'm older and *wiser*, these THE Fox toons somtimes make more sense to me [22:18] Armenian, that's it ... yes, levay, they live in Edmonton. that's why they didn't stay :) [22:19] hey beeman/scpu128 [22:19] Can't be any colder down here than up there in Alberta...hehehe..unless they could not get gravy with their fries.... [22:19] that gives you an idea what age group they were drawn for... [22:20] oh, it's colder, levay ... and they can get gravy :) [22:20] levay, I think the average temps in Edmonton right now are about -12 C for a high )10 F) and -25 C for a low (-20 F) [22:20] Snogpitch, yep... not for 14-16 year olds [22:20] * JavaUser1 is now known as SCPY128 [22:20] It's been as low as -10F here in NY [22:21] Dopple, that's cold for New York. our coldest temp this winter so far is -39 C (-38 F). [22:21] it was near freezing here today....made going down outside steps tricky with the rain that was coming down [22:21] but it's nice today. it was 0 C (32 F) today. [22:21] It's about 45-55 degrees F. here in Central California. [22:22] I wish it were that warm here. it hasn't been 55 F here since October. [22:22] ProBably the Jack Tramiel curse...got some pictures of him touring the old camps in Poland where he was errr... a resident...in the 40's..pretty spry yet.. [22:24] * _brain_ listens to the wind... [22:24] Does the wind make a sound? [22:24] if it blows hard enough... [22:24] no [22:24] _brain_, careful, can get frostbite on yer ear [22:24] I hear nothing... [22:24] I have an old lp record of a wind harp [22:24] the wind hitting things makes a sound [22:24] sounds like something from Star Trek [22:25] That is true, Smilertoo. [22:25] * Fuzz-R64 (~cadnet@205.211.52.54) has joined #c64friends [22:25] Howdy Fuzz-R64 [22:25] hi ho [22:26] Hey, Snog, did you see that posting on comp.sys.cbm from that guy who wanted C= information, because he making a full-sized Star Trek shuttlecraft? [22:26] * jbevren (~root@69-168-194-254.bflony.adelphia.net) has joined #c64friends [22:26] re. [22:26] heya [22:26] hm, my other nick is in use :\ [22:26] Hey Fuzzy.... [22:26] Hi, Fuzz. [22:26] Hoi Fuzz [22:26] allo again [22:26] Hi, Jbevren. [22:26] mitchell [22:26] matt damon [22:26] Hoi jbevren [22:26] M@ damon? [22:26] RobertB: I saw that too - quite the,uh, project [22:26] m@ d4m0n! [22:27] :D [22:27] I haven't visited that website yet, Leif. Does his project look doable? [22:27] oh yeh, he posted on the dtvhackin forum as well [22:27] a replica of the one from the original series? [22:27] Shuttlecraft...hmmm...like the Galileo???that was just plywood and cardboard and a little paint...was it not? [22:27] I think it's an open-ended project, with no real end to it except when he feels its done [22:27] some guy made his whole house like the enterprise bridge [22:28] * antigen (na@user-38lc4d2.dialup.mindspring.com) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [22:28] no need for it to use a dtv at all :P [22:28] some guy had too much time on his hads :P [22:28] and hands [22:28] that was just nerdism gone haywire [22:28] Craig, the full-sized shuttlecraft mock-up was made of plywood and metal. [22:28] About 25-feet long. [22:28] Some people need a life....it is only a TV show...heheheh [22:28] hey, watch it levay :) [22:28] Hey, Craig... watch it! ;-) [22:29] yeah, that's like spending all your time working with outdated computers [22:29] I thought I saw a followup post, he wanted to use LCD panels driven from the C64 user port. Same guy? [22:29] Yeah Craig, next you willsay that The Prisoner is just a TV show. [22:29] hehe [22:29] I saw the full-sized shuttlecraft at a convention. Very impressive. [22:29] or that the C64 is just a computer [22:29] MikeP, Yea, sure it is. [22:29] If only I knew where it's located now. [22:29] Thing about it is that our C=64's were probably a little brainier than the library 'puter on the bridge at times... [22:29] * Fuzz-R64 is now known as Fuzz-PSW [22:30] yeah, it doesn't answer back [22:30] Love Classic Trek, though...it is great 60's TV...Enterprise to me seems to be sinking again...needs to fight more space Nazis... [22:31] Not true, Craig. Many times on the Original Series they had to have "banks upon banks" of the computer working. [22:31] :-) [22:31] and their computer was on a whole deck if I remember the blueprints [22:31] hey, did anyone ever get to use Habitat on q-link? [22:31] levay: I stopped watching Enterprise after the finale last season with the alien Nazis - that was so dumb [22:31] original trek was bad [22:31] anyone in red died and kirk always got the alien woman [22:31] Now I do LIKE the Prisoner and have been to the Villag...it is real. [22:32] * idigital thinks Habitat looked like on of the most amazing things ever on c64 ;) [22:32] one of even [22:32] levay did you go to Port Merion during the yearly fan convention? [22:32] Alien Nazis.. Wow I missed that one. [22:33] You've been to Carnarvon (sp?), Craig? [22:33] Now you know why my BBS is called The Village an my U.G. members all have numbers. [22:33] Jer: It came of of nowhere in the last 10 seconds of the season, totally bizarre [22:33] Yes, that was the closer of last season and the opener of this season, Jeri. [22:33] 10 seconds of alien nazis? [22:33] So it hasn't been cancelled? [22:33] Not yet, Leif. [22:33] But very close. [22:33] * idigital suspects aussies haven't caught up yet [22:34] last episode here was the beauty and the beast rip-off [22:34] theyre on ep 12 of the next series now [22:34] they show star trek at midnight here in australia [22:34] You mean it was a Walt Disney animated movie?! ;-) [22:34] no, but it was so much like beauty and the beast it was silly [22:35] No not the convention but am familiar with 6 of 1 group...went there after riding the Festiniog Railway next door....I like narrow gauge steam trains and Patrick McG. could have walked several hundred yards and cauld a two foot gauge steam train to the pub [22:35] no dancing singing cutlery tho [22:35] do they ever explain whats so dangerous about giant balloons? [22:35] why not just have security guards [22:35] Or it could be like the Jean Cocteau surrealistic movie, Beauty and the Beast. [22:35] they're scary! [22:36] they're big bubbles! be very afraid! [22:36] They're also possible with no budget :-) [22:36] big bubbles that eat people! run! [22:36] Levay: last I heard when I was a 6of1 member was that the con was about our labour day time here in the US. That, seeing a freidn in Scotland and visitng the 2000AD ofices are on my list of things, whenever I can make it to the UK [22:36] why didnt he just escape...with a fork, and pop them [22:37] it was the sticky kind of bubble, before they invented the non stick [22:37] levay: did you see the behind the scenes on the DVDs of The PRisoner? [22:37] http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1803977 [22:37] Yes, Robert, have been to Carnarvon and Portmadog and familiar with the area of the Prsisoner....I was over there in 1989... [22:37] BTW the big bubbles are called "Rover" [22:37] idigital, that sounds like the same schedule they show Star Trek here on the Sci-Fi Channel.

I keep thinking that the area is far from London, right? [22:38] Picked up a DVD set that half priced books was selling of some of the episodes...local PBS used to broadcast it 15 years ago and tapes most of the shows. [22:39] I've seen them all except the pilot [22:39] * antigen (na@user-38lc4sr.dialup.mindspring.com) has joined #c64friends [22:39] Leif, you have to see the pilot... that's the one that sets everything up.

[22:39] Portmerion is about 6-7 hours by rail from London and about 4 hours from Manchester where I spent time and fly in and out. [22:39] nope [22:39] RobertB: I agree, just haven't found it yet. [22:39] Habitat! :P [22:40] heh [22:40] Oh, a very long train ride. [22:40] idigital: nope it was closed when I was on Q-Link. Like almost everything else. [22:40] Like train rides, Robert....be them steam or diesel.... [22:41] How about electromagnetic, Craig? ;-) [22:41] such a great concept, I think habitat must have been the first multiplayer online graphical "RPG" [22:41] Gave my factory vcr copies to Fender, along with the graphic novel. Have the full 10 disk DVD set. Ben a fan since 68 [22:41] That is Lionel Magnatraction...;-) [22:42] How many train games were made for the C64? [22:42] Love train travel.

Got one in a box, haven't looed at it yet [22:50] i still need a C128 space bar [22:50] That would be to hook up to the IEEE connector on the MSD drive [22:50] Yeah #16, bit arthritc but I have all of them still [22:50] been stroking the long one too much eh smiler? [22:50] or any IEEE device for that matter [22:50] I need a plus/4 keyboard [22:50] LR, you can connect PET computers into the MSD through that port.

[22:51] but it powers up and f1 works enough to launch the romware [22:51] Oh, I see, Jbevren. [22:52] RobertB: I pulled it out of the snow [22:52] some trash can :( [22:52] Yow!

Which is new, I guess, but still brings back memories of high school [23:23] lol, what a typo :/ [23:23] hmmmm.... watch that language #4 [23:23] I don't think there is a KB Toys where Mark lives. [23:24] Schema: Check with me on some 1st ed things. but I just sold for $50 the DMG :-( [23:24] LOL [23:24] I learned my D&D rules from Pool of Radiance, which was 2.0 rules [23:24] There's one in Seaside [23:24] Do we have anyhting besides the game and C= store in Astoria? [23:24] dragonlance blows :P [23:24] yorue running around in the shadow of the Heroes [23:24] is Astoria in NY state? [23:24] Schema: Error in line 1. Pool of Radiance is 1st ed AD&D. Got it right behind me. [23:24] Forgotten realms is where its at, [23:25] where you ARE the hero [23:25] :) [23:25] Astoria, Oregon [23:25] Fuzz Oregon [23:25] oh ok [23:25] Other coast! LOOL [23:25] jbevren: Greyhawk and Blackmoor [23:25] Never heard of Fuzz, Oregon! ;-) [23:25] shrug [23:25] LOL [23:25] thought i read about one in the news a few days ago [23:25] No Fuzz, we are talking Astoria, Oregon. Yes there is another Astoria in New York named after the same John Jacob Astor - I believe. [23:25] Lexus (one of my characters) was around to see the dark clouds over the moonshaes when Baal got kicked out [23:25] :P [23:26] she later participated (and nearly died) in destroying him [23:26] Forgotten Realms cane out between 1st and 2nd Ed. Most of the FR stuff said it was compatiable with 1st and 2nd Ed. [23:26] nod [23:26] the t [23:26] thte 3ed rendition has a lot mroe info [23:26] Astoria, Oregon - OLDEST United States settlement west of the Rocky Mountains. [23:26] and I use that guidebook to enhance my 2ed gameplay :P [23:27] I'll bbl :) [23:27] * PhotoJim is now known as PJimAFK [23:27] apparently there is a dispute between comp.sys.sinclair and comp.sys.cbm over penis size [23:27] history and geography night tonight [23:27] Boy, it's nice having room to move my mouse around... [23:27] I thought 1st ed. D&D was one-one-one? (one DM, one player?) [23:27] hahah [23:27] idigital: there's always one [23:27] heheh [23:27] Fogotten Realms for 1st ed was $15. Forgotten Relams for 2nd ed was $30. Big difference in the way it was laid out and "free" to play areas [23:27] Schema: 1ed is as universal as any other [23:27] Huh, Oh G*D NO!!!!!! not a penis fight. [23:27] Ohhh!!! I can now use my Boing Ball pad!!! [23:28] :O [23:28] * Alberonn runs to get his Boing BBall mouse pad... [23:28] erm, boing ball pad? [23:28] Don't ask :) [23:28] jbevren: Yeah 3.5 is power gaming and micro management if you like. Got many things to sell for it in shop and on order. [23:28] idigital: the 'boing ball' is the red/white checkered amiga ball logo [23:28] some kind of protective penis fight accessory?

[23:29] Hi, Ian. [23:29] lordronin: I havent run 3ed [23:29] Hoi Curtis [23:29] Ive looked the books over [23:29] it seems like a pretty mature/modern system [23:29] wb iAn [23:29] hi all, again :) [23:29] on what NG is this penis fight ? [23:29] Boing Ball is the Red and White checkerboard pattern ball used as an Amiga logo... [23:29] what kind of an IP address is that :\ --> 64,202,166,209,177,20 [23:29] IPV6? ;-) [23:30] An unusually long one :) [23:30] jbevren: You'll pay more to start in it, than buying collector 1st ed stuf from me. [23:30] no, IPV6 is hexadecimal [23:30] Fuzz-PSW: 64.202.155.209 port 45332 [23:30] NEVER MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!! [23:30] Yeah, the latter two might be h/l bytes of the port [23:30] i want to use port 49152 [23:30] I have a round mouse pad that has the checkerboard pattern and the amiga web site address on it... [23:30] * RaBiT (~chatzilla@S01060004e24fa9e1.ed.shawcable.net) has joined #c64friends [23:30] Howdy RaBiT [23:30] and you use it for bouncing your balls on? [23:30] Heya, RaBiT. [23:30] jbevren: aaah, that makes more sense :) [23:30] Hi, [23:30] in fact when I hook my 64 to my network, that is the port i'mgoing to forward to it [23:30] Hi, Bruce. [23:30] idigital: drop it plz [23:30] Hi Snog and Pna and RB [23:31] DON'T TELL ME which thread it is. [23:31] * idigital drops the balls onto the boing ball pad [23:31] Nah, it's a good-sized mouse pad... [23:31] * Intrinsic (~Intrinsic@203-217-37-62.dyn.iinet.net.au) has joined #c64friends [23:31] Hi, Intrinsic. [23:31] Howdy Intrinsic [23:31] hey all [23:31] Hoi RaBit [23:32] Hello Int... [23:32] Hi LR [23:32] Hello Ra.. [23:32] Hoi Intrinsic [23:32] missed last weel coz my F$*#%& telco screwed up my ADSL :-/ [23:32] hey LR [23:32] lordronin: Yeh. I went after the player's handbook, grabbed one that starts wit p, and got home with the psionics handbook [23:32] :D [23:32] well, there are always the transcripts, Intrinsic... [23:33] yes [23:33] Intrinsic: You know that looks like alphabet soup to this dum ork [23:33] lol [23:33] jbevren: well if that was the brownish one it is for 2nd ed and a must to have to play in Dark Sun boxed set. [23:33] naw, it was the 3ed book [23:33] hardcover [23:33] What's the diff between ADSL and DSL??? [23:33] 3.5 rulez!!!! [23:33] I thought it was the PHB due to the hardcover part [23:34] All DSL is ADSL, I believe [23:34] ADSL is a classification of a specific type of DSL [23:34] Schema: not so [23:34] ADSL is asymmetric [23:34] OK [23:34] * Pnacolada sees PHB and thinks Pointy Haired Boss... [23:34] SDSL is symmetric [23:34] In common usage, anyway [23:34] ADSL is a subset of DSL, it's Asymetric, i.e. download at a diff speed to upload [23:34] *most* DSL is ADSL :P [23:34] SDSL has up and downstreams at the same speed [23:34] Can anyone get SDSL? [23:34] Intrinsic covered the adsl part [23:34] jbevren: Ah I see. Well you need to get White Wolfs Tome of Horros. They have the monsters from 1st ed that were not put in the two T$R books for 3.5. [23:34] fuzz: correct [23:34] sdsl typically costs more, and has bandwidth wasted on one direction or the other [23:34] I have friends with SDSL [23:34] :D [23:34] * idigital sees PHP and thinks Pointy Haired P... and stops himself just in time [23:35] OK, I sit corrected :-) [23:35] lordronin: noted [23:35] lordronin: you run a game shop? [23:35] Ahh my new speed on the 2nd will be 896k up an 1.5m down [23:35] so. i'be decompiled Windows XP and I'm recompiling it for 6502 [23:35] i think I can get SDSL here over satellite now... 2mb up/down [23:35] * lordronin sees PHP and thinks Players Hand Pamphlet [23:35] jbreven: Since 88 [23:35] Fuzz it ain't DSL unless it comes over copper [23:35] ah nice [23:35] I started gaming in 88 [23:36] ran a D [23:36] it's a symmetric sat link, pity about the weather tho [23:36] BRB. [23:36] er a AD&D style game with rules from memory [23:36] good work CurtisP, then we can run the latest xp warez on c64 [23:36] (those I learned by gaming with my brother) [23:36] up until I finally got guidebooks [23:36] I still run the game mostly from memory [23:36] * groepaz (~groepaz@ip195.2.1411J-CUD12K-03.ish.de) Quit (Remote host closed the connection) [23:36] I'm the type that ignores the rules mostly, aming harder at fun than technicality [23:36] cool [23:36] Intrinsic: now that i think of it, good point. i guess the company doing the marketing for it is trying to get people 'cause they know that DSL means fast internet :) [23:37] most characters involved in my games come out illegal [23:37] hehe [23:37] LOL prolly [23:37] I bumped my speed up since LR is working on getting a Linux box set up to try to telnet his BBS as well as he's thinking of running a MUD on it with help from a local Linux guru.. [23:37] nice [23:37] say, [23:37] Can't wait to check out the Village. Maybe get them networked :) [23:37] er, it and me I mean :) [23:37] has anyone made a multinode bbs that didnt rely on a lt. kernal? [23:38] I used to play MUD, don't have time now tho :-/ [23:38] I'm back. [23:38] re RB [23:38] CMD was supposed to have a multiplexer unit... [23:38] At least Ronin's getting stuff from a guy we know who does know what he's doin' [23:38] Did everyone see the new multinode TelBBS??? [23:38] Never heard anything about it though. :/ [23:38] Pnacolada: I pondered th eidea of using the user port to multiplex the units, [23:38] jbevren: i run over 40 different games. First rule of gaming is that there are no rules, only guidelines and don't let them interfere with the enjoyment of the game BTW I started in 78 playing Basic [23:38] with one 'master' unit sharing the drive to the network [23:38] Yeah, Schema, I've called it. Looks nice! I'd love to try out the chat function. [23:38] wb Robert [23:38] Two Commodore 128s listening on different Telnet ports [23:38] lordronin: indeed. I clarify that with new players [23:38] Pna: Let's call now!! [23:39] lordronin: stuff like player's HANDBOOK, dungeon master's GUIDE [23:39] none say rulebook [23:39] :) [23:39] jbevren: Nice :) [23:39] Schema: ok! [23:39] I'll call Line 1 [23:39] Pnacolada: Each slave node would service a line of course [23:39] the master may even have ram expansion for buffering [23:40] I've seen C64's networked via the User Port.... somewhere.... [23:40] jbevren My concern is the flow of the story and the fun. Told Gygax about what we have done. after saying beardless dwaf girls was blasphamy, he agreed that the point was to have fun. [23:40] * SCPY128 (~Javauser@dialup-4.254.131.151.Dial1.Orlando1.Level3.net) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [23:40] hehe [23:40] nod. [23:40] lol [23:41] I typically run 'interim' scenes that end up taking a session or two in total [23:41] our D&D games often don't always have and dice rolls, or DM is very focused on plot [23:41] *any [23:41] I can make one night of rest beside the trail last 4 hours of game time [23:41] and the people love it :P [23:41] cool [23:41] Schema: indeed :) [23:41] I toss dice to make nose [23:41] noise [23:41] to make them think I'm working something up [23:42] Champions game tonight may the 7th week in a row that dice were not needed. [23:42] i like combat, and lots of it [23:42] I've never played D&D/AD&D, should try someday, I LOVE paranoia tho ;o) [23:42] Intrinsic: paranoia or suspense? [23:42] paranoia [23:42] it aint gamin' if you aint rollin dice! [23:42] jbevren: FWIW in AD&D we are playing Expidetion to Barrier Peaks two nights per week. [23:42] * everslick (~clemens@L1209P13.dipool.highway.telekom.at) has joined #c64friends [23:43] lordronin: What's the general synopsis of the module? [23:43] Gambling games, Curtis? :-) [23:43] jbevren: Sounds cool :) [23:43] I havent gamed since I left Iowa :( [23:43] Hi, Everslick. [23:43] been a few years [23:43] * Fuzz-PSW gets an idea... and takes his C128 to the back.... [23:43] lol. [23:43] CurtisP: I always promise my players that I won7t kill them. No matter how much they may beg after I mutate and mutilate them. Turned the Bard recently into a Bardess. [23:43] Pnacolada: I figure, 8 c64's and my c128 with ram expansion and storage.. :) [23:43] * Pnacolada waits for Schema to log on :) [23:43] my 8-line annex server :D [23:43] jbevren: jeesh :) [23:43] * Fuzz-PSW is now known as Fuzz-Away [23:43] jbevren: Done at Origins II. Sort of a cross over between AD&D and Gamma World [23:43] automatic dial pool allocation [23:43] lol [23:44] lordronin: ah [23:44] Gamers take note there are 4 PBEM games on The Village BBS. As well as gamer support. [23:44] Pnacolada: scary thing is, aside from UARTs I probably have the equip to do it here [23:44] You sure got a lot of stuff for the C= yesterday. [23:44] LR [23:45] brb [23:45] #4: More than you know. Take a look at the box beside the command chair in the computer room. More than that #21 has to preserve. [23:46] Yeah, now I wonder how to use that "Backup Buddy" drive for the Amiga Maverick? I have V2.0 for the Amiga, but no docs... [23:46] Pna, I'm logged in now, but you're igonring me :-) [23:46] jbevren: Sounds like a noble effort :) [23:46] I am not ignoring you *hands on hips* :) [23:46] OK, got your msg. [23:47] nice :D [23:47] #4: it was Amiga stuff, so it went to the AMiga guy. If it don't start "El Shift Oh" i don't know how to use it. {VBG} [23:47] Yeah, but I still wonder how to use that drive... [23:47] Hey, LR, what about "boot"? [23:47] or / ? [23:48] so is the C= chatting over? [23:48] Nah [23:48] we occasoinally mention C= [23:48] We're still here, Curtis. [23:48] still going on for a little while longer :) [23:48] Pnacolada: Sounds doable too I think [23:48] Thorw out a C= topic! [23:48] Thorw [23:48] the userport is pretty much made for such a thing [23:48] jbevren: If you say so, you're the expert :D [23:48] Throw [23:48] like, a byte clocked out can be latched by the cia automatically, [23:49] and an interrupt generated [23:49] agh, speak English :) [23:49] hehe [23:49] like, [23:49] I'm not a hardware guy. [23:49] the hardware can automatically recieve a byte from the user port [23:49] (in parallel) [23:49] JSR $FFD2 [23:49] Pnacolada is a hardware gal? [23:49] Robert: Yeah the one on my right foot needs repair [23:49] when this byte comes in, an irq goes off [23:49] much like the swiftlink [23:49] o.O *checks* no, thank goodness :) [23:50] Pnacolada: can you grok software speak? :) [23:50] OK a C= topic. What do the C= RPG gamers have in editors and tools for both the C= and dice RPGS? need more for the BBS [23:50] Hmm, Schema, are you getting my message? :) [23:50] uh [23:50] well [23:50] grok! [23:50] kind of? [23:50] Hey, stop that checking. [23:50] I'd like a Dragon Wars editor...

[23:52] #4: Didn't you do a map of Dragon Wars? am I going to have to learn to prg to make the editor for you/ [23:52] I didn't know that. [23:53] Yup :) [23:53] I have one around somewhere, hand-drawn on graph paper... [23:53] Heard that he was allergic to carrots and that he spit it out in a cup on the mike stand [23:53] * Pnacolada misses the dynamite rigged key by one...

[23:54] traps, destroyable walls [23:54] lordronin: that reminds me.. my brother and I used to play renegade legion: interceptor all the time [23:55] celery makes more sense [23:55] Oops, gaming soon...
