[20:44] Perplex: some of the smear, some dont [20:44] them [20:45] this channel is only as great as it's participants [20:45] Interesting.. could you make a screenshot? [20:45] but I think that is becuase the pallette is different [20:45] true snogpitch, true. [20:45] yeah, hold on [20:45] * floobhoob (~mr@h000c41764340.ne.client2.attbi.com) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [20:45] Perplex: tv or monitor, if monitor, which one (they all look different) [20:45] Fungus: only colors with the exact same luminance will smear [20:46] right, I think the luminance levels are different on ntsc [20:46] Fungus: hmm, whatever works best :) [20:46] you know what's funny? the prices on some of these old computer ads... [20:46] Perplex: also, each Revision # of the vic chip has different colors [20:46] older chips are darker [20:46] here's one... [20:47] a 10mb harddrive (for an apple) $1,175.00 [20:47] m. [20:47] dracosilv, what a bargain... [20:47] man i'm glad stuff's a lot cheaper and bigger. [20:47] dracosilv, in 1978. [20:47] Fungus: must be a nightmare for those jpeg->c64 converters. [20:47] and what were the dimensions of that harddrive? [20:48] dunno. [20:48] probably a full height drive... [20:48] probably bigger than a vcr nowdays [20:48] Perplex: it the same situation on pal and ntsc [20:48] i actually have a full height drive and a couple of halfheights [20:48] Hrm.. [20:48] laying around here... [20:48] * beata ponders stuff.. [20:49] * floobhoob (~mr@h000c41764340.ne.client2.attbi.com) has joined #c64friends [20:49] Perplex: I prefer R8 pal 6569 (breadbox) and R9 ntsc 6567 (breadbox) [20:49] used fairly cheap internal SCSI HDD's... http://www.megamacs.com/v1/index.php?cat=25002 [20:49] and mind you guys... those were in a DISCOUNT ad... [20:49] in what year? [20:49] ooh.. neaters. [20:50] http://computist.textfiles.com/ISSUE.16/ibcvr1.jpg [20:50] from that issue... [20:50] i'm getting the date... [20:50] neato... "double notched"... :) [20:51] I always self-notched. [20:51] me i kinda don't like those... [20:51] they usually seem to fail.. [20:51] unless both sides were checked at the factory... [20:51] and usually they weren't. [20:51] i always bought ds/dd disks [20:51] but even ds disks came with only 1 notch [20:51] cuz "ds" in the pc world meant "two heads" [20:51] January 1985 is the year that ad was from. [20:52] and GCR don't need no stinkin' timing hole [20:52] Have a bunch of DS/DD disks and TWO notchers. [20:52] i have a "few" notchers... i know one's still in the box... [20:52] Two heads are ALWAYS BETTER than one! [20:53] ;-) [20:53] I was gonna say had to be 80s ad [20:53] except for when the top one is supported only on 1 side and warps the pivot point/spring. [20:53] I have about 600 blank disks but no notchers... [20:53] it mentioned cpm for apple [20:53] after late 80s couldn't find that stuff easily [20:53] Hello Snog. [20:54] There's a basement in NJ that I know has piles of stuff [20:54] Perplex: 1 is c64 breadbox, 2 is 128 (new colors) [20:54] I used to work around the corner from an Apple dealer...went in there and browsed thru their CPM stuff [20:54] Howdy Snog [20:54] bbiab [20:54] That was back in 83 [20:56] perplex: get 2nd dcc [20:56] * MikePaWay (~spamme@123.cust34.vic.dsl.ozemail.com.au) has joined #c64friends [20:56] Hello Mike.

Always wanted to visit Australia. [20:57] Sunday, right? [20:58] antares: well it is a nice country, but like every country it has it's good and bad points :) And i've always wanted to visit the US! [20:58] I was looking at some of the stats of C64friends website, and noticed a cbmau yahoo club [20:58] Snog: Yeap, Sunday [20:58] Perplex: the liteblue/med grey and litegrey/cyan and yellow/litegreen look nice [20:59] * lordronin (~lordronin@12-217-179-222.client.mchsi.com) has joined #c64friends [20:59] LR [20:59] Wish I could trade you for two weeks Mike.

[21:00] snog: yeah, I wanted a local forum where we could talk about our needs, requests and news without annoying the rest of the world :) [21:00] Fungus: Ok. Thanks a lot for the screenshots! :-) [21:00] according to stats, your yahoo club brings in .82% of the traffic :) [21:00] Hi Robert [21:01] Dopple: no, for dracosilv and his game snes.

[21:01] Hoi trek [21:01] Hi, MikeP. [21:01] Hi, Peter. [21:01] Group picture of club officers. [21:01] Hello Trek. [21:01] ya'lo gang. [21:01] Oh, that's an old picture. It should be updated. [21:01] Howdy Trek [21:01] small crowd 2nite [21:02] Anyone have an idea of how to fix the power socket in the CMD HD? [21:02] * antares51 is old and needs updated. [21:02] snog: really, hehe, its not a particularly busy club. There is some occasional chit chat, requests and news posts however on the whole because of our small membership and limited usage of CBM gear by members it will never be described as busy! [21:02] Hi Robert, LR. [21:02] Hoi Pnacolada [21:02] Perplex: explains where "Never the same colors" came from [21:02] :D [21:02] Power socket? You can just replace it, right? [21:02] it made #6 in the referrer list [21:03] Fungus: hehe! ;-) [21:03] most of the referrers came from google [21:03] Robert: If I could find one. Thgis one requires pushing, twisting to make the connection. Need to fix it to finish the Zip drive job. [21:03] Hi, Ryan. [21:04] google from US, DE, and UK respectively [21:04] * VanessaD peeks in [21:04] Hello Vanessa. [21:04] * iAN_CooG waves to VanessaD :D [21:04] lordronin, is the power socket just loose?

[21:04] lordronin, like it needs resoldering? [21:04] Hi, Vanessa. [21:04] * VanessaD has been reading some old IRC logs [21:05] (from 2002, #wings) [21:05] Dopple: I did a resolder today for the socket to the PCB. Didn't work :-( [21:05] 2002 is old :) [21:05] snog: really. wish there was some more activity in there. I have concluded that most of the members use their c64's for playing the occasional game, more or less. No-one except Nick Coplin seems to be doing any development work for or on their machines [21:05] Try reading old 80 Micro from 1987! [21:05] and I seem to be the only one interested in collecting hardware beyond the C64 and 1541 [21:05] * beata thinks the whole universe is a game. [21:06] What place are you talking about, MikeP? [21:06] heck antires... [21:06] * iAN_CooG is not interested at collection HW at all [21:06] * Pnacolada hits reset. [21:06] beata: no, the univerise is NOT a game, when they talk about shooting stars thats NOT what they meant ;) [21:06] i think my dad had some from the early 1980's... [21:06] (80 micros that is) [21:06] Heee. [21:06] * antares51 hits Pna. [21:06] * Pnacolada ows! [21:06] lordronin, buy another pc mount socket? [21:06] RobertB, MikeP was talking about the yahoo club AUSCBM [21:07] snog: still, its nice to have a forum where we can get announcements out to the Aussie CBMer crowd. [21:07] Anyone see the Foxtrot comic a few days ago where Jason was outside playing Snow Asteroids? [21:07] actually I brought it up [21:07] Oh, the mail list AUSCBM. [21:07] Robert: Yes [21:07] Where's Foxtrot? [21:07] Dopple: Hawve to go to Radio Shake and say "need new one?" [21:08] I noticed ya had 30 some members on the list [21:08] Fungus: Long time now see. All OK for you? [21:08] lordronin, and then they'll look at ya funny, thumb thru the book... [21:08] beata, I have it in the newspaper I bought. [21:08] Oo. [21:08] lordronin, i forget, is that a 7 pin din, right? [21:08] * beata quips, "What's a newspaper?" [21:08] * VanessaD shows her hubby DMAgic's old "SuperCPU Kicks!" demo [21:09] snog: And thats Australia wide!! Its so sad that such a popular machine down here now seems to have almost completely disappeared [21:09] Ah, SuperCPU kicks... there's a specific demo. [21:09] Dopple: Probably wonder what is in my hands. Not like when I worked for them. Hmm Now I think it is closer to a 5 pin DIN. [21:09] Mike, do you know if there will be another Australian C= Expo organized? [21:09] lordronin, just looked at mine, 4 pin. [21:10] "Oh bother", said Trek. "I gotta go watch some dang movie with the little wifey-poo." :) Bye [21:10] lol [21:10] Bye, Peter. [21:10] Dopple: Was too fristrated to remember. Also going to shorten the cable and resolder the wires. [21:10] Robert: Nothing has been mentioned. Nick organised the last one, maybe if he's comming to Melbourne this year he'll do something again. [21:10] A chick flick? :) [21:10] * telengard (~bsturk@nh-londndry-c41-bg1a-02-20.lndnnh.adelphia.net) has joined #c64friends [21:10] BCNU Trek [21:10] that was weird, powered up the 128, and only saw the top half of the font.

Does it continue to do the same thing? [21:12] hm... i'm having funny issues with my Xetec... [21:12] another interesting stat was that c64friends website now averages 200 hits a month [21:12] RobertB, oh, it's fine the 2nd power up [21:12] RobertB, just the first one was waky [21:13] wacky [21:13] 200 hits a month... is that good? [21:13] sigh. [21:13] he wasn't as impressed as I was when I first saw that demo [21:13] well you figure 4 or 5 weeks in a month, that breaks down to 40 or so a week [21:13] I was there twice. [21:13] I was impressed when I saw it, Vanessa. [21:13] * twbrown (~Javauser@adsl-068-209-235-192.sip.tys.bellsouth.net) has joined #c64friends [21:13] howdy twbrown [21:13] Hi, Thomas.

[21:15] * antares51 prefers lasers. [21:15] Set printer on stun. [21:15] I am guessing i got dumped when he tried to dial out [21:16] Shush! [21:16] Aw... [21:16] Ow, I didn't know that. Is Jeremy on the road to recovery? [21:16] <- back [21:16] twbrown: Was in the Qlue dox when I arrived. But themodem was not off hook. Thought it may have locked on you. Yeah that sounds right. [21:16] RobertB: yeah, he's doign allright, I spoke to him a few times now. [21:17] so far, January has the highest hit of 258 unique views [21:17] LR: aye all i had on this end was garbge..then locked up [21:17] Well a couple of toes, isn't as bad he was worried about when he was here. Though still not a good thing. Hope he recovers easily [21:17] yeah [21:17] * Fungus hopes so too [21:17] Why did Jeremy have to have amputation? [21:18] twbrown: Yuppers that is wht would happen if another extension is used while online. Seen it before many times. Same happens with call waiting [21:18] I think it was because of his diabetes, Robert. [21:18] Hope to see Destine back in here in the near future. When he is feeling better.
