[22:13] I'm no Geos guru, you guys have any idea why convert won't unarchive computereys.cvt? [22:14] computereyes.cvt [22:14] redrumloa is an alien [22:14] which version of convert you using? [22:14] redrumloa is a shifty individual ;-) [22:14] redrumloa: tried starcommander or 64copy on it? [22:14] convert 2.5 [22:14] did you select the box to make it a geos file? [22:15] actually using D64edit to a d64 image, then write to a real 5.25 flopy with Catweasel MK4 [22:15] doing this from memory.. [22:15] There's no box to select in d64 edit.. [22:16] star commander crashes on my XP box [22:16] I think the disk also needs to be geos formated if I remember right [22:16] darn [22:16] i dont' think so [22:17] use starzip for those .d64 images i do [22:17] I've not used d64edit so I cant comment on it [22:17] satrzip? [22:17] starzip [22:17] yeah [22:17] in a pinch, could he use lrr and do the dirty work on a real c64 [22:17] it,s in starcommander [22:18] ya, doing stuff on the real equipment is my main mode of operation [22:18] starcommander should work in xp, i use it at office sometimes [22:18] and i have xp there [22:18] or just null modem it over to the bright side [22:18] ya, single file should be smaller than a disk image anyway [22:19] are you sure it's a geos file? [22:19] .cvt are [22:19] there were some archives done with a version 3 convert [22:20] iAN: Star Commander locks up solid after running even idle.. Hmm.. Then again I didn't have a drive connected.. just wanted to modify the D64.. [22:20] geosmp3 was setup that way [22:20] anyone know the max ram the amiga 2091 scsi controller supports [22:20] I don't recall, but doesn't convert tell you if you try to use the wrong version [22:20] trek: I could numm modem it [22:20] null [22:20] * destined (Destined@dialup-4.242.192.185.Dial1.Seattle1.Level3.net) has joined #c64friends [22:20] * ChanServ sets mode: +v destined [22:20] Oh ****, New England is blowing out Jacksonvill ebad..

[22:24] where did you get the file? maybe one of us can take a look at it and see if it is a problem with the file?

[22:46] i paid for my 128d jdos on wed and had it friday [22:46] I'd buy sone s**t if that was the case [22:46] That's great news about Maurice.

[22:50] HD and SCPU I mean to add [22:51] I know there are still orders from the CMD purchase that are still awaiting fulfillment [22:51] So that's what? 2001? [22:52] thats ridiculous [22:52] no way those people are stll waiting [22:52] why doesnt he sell them as kits? [22:52] They did say it could be possible the order would be cancelled...no idea if any where tho [22:53] Well I waited 2.5 years for my smart mouse to be repaired [22:53] many ppl never got even an email of excuses from maurice [22:54] [03:32] * groepaz is still wating for the fd2000 ordered years ago [22:54] he said a couple of hours ago :) [22:55] I'm still waiting for the rest of my order, some I already have [22:55] * Q-Link (~qlink@66.135.38.238) has joined #c64friends [22:55] Entered QRoom: Dopple [22:55] What I find odd is that when someone receives something from Maurice they switch into apologetic mode and start telling everyone else to be patient with him.

[22:56] and no one had the guts to bring him in front of the court [22:56] many have prepaid [22:57] i,m waiting for jim brain,s uiec board to get finished [22:57] never got the stuff [22:57] iAN: Exactly. [22:57] dslman2: I'm waiting for him to finish my linux box with the telnet/direct dial feature. [22:57] i also know him being a nice coder. but who cares, he's playing the smart*** for too long [22:58] {Dopple} I've always gotten everything I've ordered from Maurice in a timely fashion. [22:58] {Dopple} Even my scpu. [22:58] You're lucky [22:58] You ordered a SCPU from Maurice and got it? When? [22:58] {Dopple} But, I bought that shortly after he took over CMD's stuff [22:59] I ordered sockets for the PS plug and three sets of screws. Got them in three days from Maurice [22:59] {Dopple} I got it a while ago, and had to store it until I moved [22:59] Yes, there were a few SCPU's prebuilt when Maurice got the goods [22:59] {Dopple} All the jiffydos and software I bought from him showed up fast, too [22:59] {Dopple} I think he said he built mine himself. [22:59] {Dopple} it wasn't one from CMD [23:00] * iAN_CooG (iAN_CooG@ppp-210-232.28-151.libero.it) Quit (Quit: http://hokutoforce.c64.org) [23:01] {Dopple} I know people have had horror stories from him, but personally, I haven't run into any of it. [23:01] {Dopple} Figured I'd throw in my $.02. [23:02] Dopple: Well he mislaid my order back in July. But when he was reminded and found it. He was apologetic and is trying to help my HD problem.

[23:02] ya, that can happen with a pile of orders [23:02] That' cause you're kinda famour LR [23:02] I saw his stack one year [23:03] oops famous or well known [23:03] Trek: Don't you mean, fanatically, militantly infamous?

[23:03] had to be at least a 100 or more order forms in the stack he showed me [23:04] {Dopple} I think I've only met Maurice once... in like... 1989. [23:04] I would love to see Maurice make good on everyone's orders and repairs etc. as it would make people happy and be a first step towards regaining his reputation. [23:04] Dopple: that is I think his major fault. Not letting people know when his other activities, such as the car job, racing and of course the family. Just put the C= things behind. The silence is his worst enemy [23:04] he went thru the stack and saw my order [23:04] LR: *BINGO* [23:04] That was my beef with him. He ignored me. [23:04] Communication is his problem [23:04] A little communication would go a long way. The C= community has extended him a great deal of good will. [23:05] That makes him look like a crook, even if he isn't. [23:05] {Dopple} Yea, but he is very generous with tech help, at least what I've gotten from him. [23:05] Wrote an article on my HD problem and Maurice for 5C's newsletter. Suggesting that there be some sort of information clearing house for him [23:05] {Dopple} He helped me mod a mech, instead of just selling me one. I mean, how many businesses would... [23:05] {Dopple} ...do that? [23:06] Dopple: reminds me to ask him what are the mods to make to the drives for the FD. Got a pair of unmodded exact duplicate mechs from Robert. [23:06] It is clear that he isn't running things like a business. [23:07] Anyone know anything about JiffyDOS? I'm curious as to what the latest revisions are for the 64, 1541 and for the 1571. [23:07] {Dopple} 64: 6.01 [23:07] {Dopple} 128: 6.01 [23:07] {Dopple} 81 and 71: 6.0 [23:07] {Dopple} 41: 5.0 [23:07] :) [23:07] hiyo [23:08] Piffydos [23:08] JiffyDOS is awesome. [23:08] piffydos, sounds like a stomache alement [23:08] ;) [23:09] Piffydos 1.36 [23:09] want it? [23:09] it's Fairlight mod to jiffy 6.01 [23:09] What's different about it? [23:09] Dopple: Thanks so much! [23:09] there should be a page on their site about it [23:10] Maurice currently has a 1571 JiffyDOS rom for sale on ebay [23:10] is photojim around? [23:10] I don't remember if that is the same 71 JD as is used in the 128D [23:11] that looks like a chip that's been a bit used... [23:11] yes lf you r all those things... sorry I was in another window [23:11] ba boom boom [23:11] http://hem.passagen.se/harlekin/piffy.htm [23:11] should be the same chip, LordRonin [23:11] iAN: Nice one. [23:11] iAN: ComputerEyes is working like a charm now on Geos, thanks again [23:12] np ;) [23:12] .oO(wtf is a computereyes?) [23:12] Thanks Snogpitch. Gotta order one from him. Removed the JD from the BBS 128D. Conflicts with the SCPU. Took out the 71 chip. Slows things down on the work [23:12] iAN: Serious? [23:12] iAN: a video digitizer from 1984 [23:12] really [23:13] ok [23:13] iAN: It's a video digitizer [23:13] yup [23:13] {Dopple} it was kinda cool [23:13] kk [23:13] hw,s the xm1541 cable [23:13] should be able to use just the 1571 rom in your 128D, that's all I got in it, since the SCPU or RamLink are usually connected [23:13] dated to say the least, but works. The Geos driver looks better than the original stand alone, at least at first test [23:13] iAN yeah I use mine quite often with a vid camera. [23:14] Hey does 64HDD support Geos yet? [23:14] yes, for some time [23:14] 64hdd barely works for me *shrug* [23:15] Snogpitch I had issues when both the 128D and the SCPU were connected with jiffy dos. Like making D64s on the 71 in 7.5 minutes, not 20 [23:15] GEOS works real well with 64HDD [23:15] Snog: Does it work in an emulator running does with access to the parallel port? amy idea? [23:15] I'm excited by the prospect of using JiffyDOS in a DTV-II and then putting the DTV in with a JiffyDOS equipped 1571 (like others have done). [23:15] 64HDD needs a dedicated DOS box, right? [23:15] This is my new project. [23:15] Yes, rerumloa [23:16] I wonder if I can coax BOCHS to do it.. [23:16] Ian why do you ask about the computer eyes? Did you score one? [23:17] hmm, I can in theory run bochs on my slave Linux box.. [23:17] LordRonin, the version of JD in the SCPU is higher than the version available with most systems, so you should turn off all computer roms, and have the SCPU JD Rom on [23:17] redrumloa needed to convert the geos driver from cvt to d64 [23:17] * Dragos (~fre@69.137.243.215) Quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) [23:17] LR: He helped me convert a .cvt to use mine, i have one [23:18] i have better things to do than collecting old hardware :P [23:18] red* ah I understand more now. [23:18] iAN ah but it isn't old to me and mine. [23:18] time for shower in about 11mins [23:18] Ian: lol.. No.. Your fun is collecting old relics of programming code? [23:18] ;-) [23:19] exactly [23:19] Snogpitch that is what I learned, the 71 jiffy dos chip should effect the operation with the SCPU AFAIK [23:19] colelcting bugs and got rid of them possibly [23:19] {Dopple} LR, is that only in a D? [23:19] * destined hands Ian a programmers Bug zapper [23:19] The 71 would benefit with a JD Rom, and a SCPU with JD enabled [23:20] * Dragos (~fre@69.137.243.215) has joined #c64friends [23:20] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Dragos [23:20] Wb dragos [23:20] I've had that setup for years [23:20] {Dopple} I have no issues with my scpu and a 71 on my c128 [23:20] destined: check out latest release of Fairlight or Son of blagger. we got rid of a couple of bugs on them [23:20] fairlight was not even finishable [23:20] I'm with iAN_CooG. I couldn't care less about hardware, software is what interests me. I would like to upgrade my hacked DTV-I though. [23:21] Dopple well the D has the built in 71. I have used the 81 FD and separate 71 with jiffy dos in them with a flat 128 and no problems with the SCPU [23:21] a bug on last guardian or something [23:21] Ian: for me I'm cutting down on hardware and working on programming.. That's where my interests lie [23:21] {Dopple} LR, ah ok. I have jdos in my D, but no MMU adapter for the scpu in it, only in my flat 128 [23:21] golan as for me I just want everything that was or is for the C= [23:22] Dopple wonder if you can get the MMU separately from Maurice? [23:22] {Dopple} LR, hardware sponge? :) [23:22] {Dopple} LR, yea he sells them [23:22] LR, it's in his store [23:22] LR: I found that too taxing. I was constantly on the look out for things or fixing failed hardware and I never got any programming done. Since I've abandoned all my actual Commodore hardware I've been having a blast and getting way more work done. [23:22] Dopple: you know it! [23:22] Dopple the bloody company if I could afford it as well [23:22] can the dtvs be reflashed? [23:22] About LR [23:22] CMD used to sell them separately, don't remember the price tho [23:23] Dragos: Yes they can. Check the PETSCII Forums for more info. [23:23] so, could someone hack jdos into them? [23:23] It's quite remarkable actually. They're rapidly becoming do-all units. [23:23] is the xm1541 cable worth getting [23:23] Dragos: Precisely. [23:23] that would be awsome [23:23] yeah, tlr made it possible [23:23] {Dopple} dsl, yes, if you want to use gui4cbm4win [23:23] golan programming in basic is fun. When I have 2 seconds to rub together. Way too much writing on the C= at the moment. [23:24] BASIC? Nonono. [23:24] let him [23:24] {Dopple} i should just put a switch on my X cable to switch it between XE and XM [23:24] golan I've got a long way to go in learning programming [23:24] BRB guys [23:24] Ok, dragos [23:25] I've got more work done on my games in the last year than in the previous five. I really need to buckle down and finish at least one. That's my goal for this summer. [23:25] heh [23:25] playing or writing? [23:25] I'm going to spend the summer at the cottage and program a few hours every night until I get them all done. I think I can pull it off. [23:25] Writing. [23:26] What kind of games golan? [23:26] make sure to send the finished ones to triad or onslaught for 1st releases! [23:26] heh [23:26] I'm exicted by the prospect of a DTV with a user port. If that is possible then the DTV-II becomes a viable replacement for an actual 64. [23:27] Actually, I came across this place http://www.lemon64.com/total/games/ last week and I was thinking it might be fun to submit them there... [23:27] sending games to lemon??? [23:27] Userport and cartridgeport would be a better choice to have tho [23:27] The people who own C= now should just dig out all the old masks and put the 64 back into production. [23:27] golan what types of games? I' interested in RPG theme ones [23:28] this is an abandoned page, golan [23:28] Lime-Mack Right on man!!! [23:29] Like to put them on the BBS when/if Maurice can retrieve the data off the HD [23:29] what kind of production costs do you think would be involving in making new chips to fit on latest revision 64's? [23:29] Lime-Mack: One is a 64 rip-off of an Amiga game called Ebonstar, one is a 64 rip-off of an Amiga/ST game called Time Bandit and one is original but really it's highly derivative as it's a platformer. [23:29] The people who own C= now instead are producing a costly crap with nes games inside [23:29] BTW and semi OT there is a new wasteland game coming out. By several of the same authors. But not for the C= [23:29] :D [23:30] iAN: Is it? Pity. I downloaded a few games from there and was quite impressed. [23:30] c'mon, updated in 2001... [23:30] what software company, LordRonin? [23:30] Platformer? Like jumpman? [23:30] I thought it possible that nobody had released any new games. :( [23:31] AFAIK through EA for the heretic system. Mentione over the past few weeks on the wasteland mail list by Ken St. Andre one of the original authors [23:31] last game here is MW3... mw4 is out from 2004 iirc [23:31] Lime-Mack: It's more like Montezuma's Revenge meets Ultima IV. [23:31] and besides there are many other releases [23:31] turrican 3 for example [23:31] iAN: You have a URL for Triad or Onslaught? [23:32] LOL i was joking [23:32] Of course, my intention is to release the games on my BBS (which no, isn't up yet but I'm close). [23:32] nah, publish them on c64.sk and lemon forums [23:32] * PhotoJim is now known as PJimAFK [23:32] golan, ah you are just gonna make me do extra work to score them [23:32] your bbs is not widely known nor available [23:33] right now mine is down till the HD returns :-( [23:33] oh and driver forum of course :) [23:33] driven [23:33] damnit [23:33] Then I hope brain sends the linux box, and we will be telnet [23:34] Well gotta split. Game group is here wondering what mutillations I will place upon them tonight. BCNU [23:34] * LordRonin (~lordronin@vcsweb.com) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [23:34] Fungus is an Onslaught member btw [23:35] * ^Oldbit^ (~oldbit@oh-71-53-57-179.dhcp.sprint-hsd.net) has joined #c64friends [23:35] * ChanServ sets mode: +o ^Oldbit^ [23:35] I took my BBS down in 1986 and my goal is to put it back up this year (sooner rather than later) after a "brief" 20 year pause. [23:35] hi [23:35] lol [23:35] Howdy ^Oldbit^ [23:35] <^Oldbit^> Eve' gents [23:36] I figure the only way to get people to call (connect to?) another BBS is there is something in it for them which is where the games come in. [23:36] Hiya Oldbit [23:36] Hey JL! [23:36] nah [23:36] bbs are overrated [23:36] <^Oldbit^> Snog, ordered that 1902... Roger shipped today.. :) [23:36] Games and the bulletin board were my major attractions to BBS's [23:37] Lucky guy! [23:37] <^Oldbit^> :) [23:37] I had a fascination for the petscii movies if I hadn't seen them before [23:38] I hate to admit it but I *really* like connecting to telnet boards. I wait until it is late at night to connect. I'm trying to relive my youth, I suppose. [23:38] And there is something about colourful PETSCII graphics that turns my crank. I'm a Loser with a capital L but I'm okay with it. [23:38] <^Oldbit^> Had some sort of slowdown on my own BBS box, took it offline until I can figure it out.. Starting to wonder if it go rootkit'd [23:38] The emulator need to emulate modem squeeling better. [23:39] LM: That would be fantastic but utterly pointless and therefore unlikely to make it into an emulator. [23:39] Oh, I highly recommended buying BBS: The Documentary if you've got the means. It's fantastic. [23:40] Schema said he could get me a copy of that. [23:40] what is it? [23:40] Really? He asked me to loan him mine! [23:40] Oh, in that case cut out the middle man and just give yours to me. [23:40] Going to go over to Schema's one of these days with some snackage and we'll watch it. [23:40] * ^Oldbit^ downloaded it... cheapskate... [23:41] heh, like some was asking for drive noises emulation, lmao [23:41] http://www.bbsdocumentary.com/ [23:41] the Spammies on SNL [23:41] there is not even a correct ntsc vic emulation and ppl ask for those sillinesses [23:41] Snog: It's just what it sounds like. It's a documentary about the BBS culture and it's really fun to watch. [23:41] iAN: If it puts ***es in the seats... ;) [23:42] I mean cross platform? commodore only? range in years? [23:42] i want the emulator to emulate how my 1670 used to pick up a local radio station [23:42] You want to hear lame? When I use MAME I fire up the 'arcade background sound' mp3 to get in the mood. [23:43] I want the emulator to emulate how my house had power failures when I was a kid. [23:43] i want that MP3 [23:43] {Dopple} Golan, you're a geekier man than I [23:43] Snog: Check the website. Far more info than I could possibly give you. It doesn't deal with any one specific platform although there is a lot of C= related stuff in there. [23:43] You'll have a hard time finding a bigger loser than me. [23:43] <^Oldbit^> bbsdoc was excellent, although I disagreed on the coverage of PKWARE vs SEAWARE, interesting stuff though.. [23:43] {Dopple} haha [23:43] {Dopple} OLDBIT! Oh, thank CMOS you're here! [23:43] Cmos= clean my own system? [23:43] <^Oldbit^> For a few mins.. gotta work in the morning.. [23:44] :-) [23:44] Snog: It deals with BBSes from the begining up until they died out. Schema was interviewed, so was Steve Punter, Ken Spence and James McFarlane (of XP protocol fame) and others. [23:44] seaware, lol! [23:44] the game WinTrek (for Windows) plays Enterprise sounds in the background [23:44] its soothing [23:44] how about Ward Christenson? [23:44] I gotta get some background sounds from the original Enterprise. [23:44] is he even still alive? [23:45] <^Oldbit^> They interviewed Ward... [23:45] Ward is the man [23:45] i called his bbs once [23:46] <^Oldbit^> no kidding.. you're dating yourself.. :) [23:46] well TBBS was still running in 1990 [23:46] i dont know if it was original hardware [23:46] <^Oldbit^> I got the sense from the interview that it ran on the original hardware until they pulled the plug... [23:47] woudlnt surprise me [23:47] that old CP/M hardware was well built [23:48] I wonder how long the c64 hardware will last? [23:48] I've heard varying opinions [23:48] <^Oldbit^> bet it outlives us... :) [23:48] things like maximum 50 years [23:49] don't let those caps dry out [23:49] Check this out: http://www.aresluna.org/attached/computerhistory/ads/ [23:49] How can a capslock dry out>? [23:49] * AlanR snickers [23:49] <^Oldbit^> left one of my breadbox's in the box for three years, just powered it up the other day.. no cap issues.. dumb luck maybe.. [23:49] yeah don't let your commie whistle while you work [23:50] <^Oldbit^> heh [23:50] ohhh [23:50] Capacitors [23:50] ;-) [23:50] if you hear a high hiss, you got a cap ready to go [23:50] i think it takes longer than that for a cap to go bad [23:51] a decade, and you are taking chances [23:51] <^Oldbit^> hiss... pop... [23:51] I think it's more common to hear that in the 1902A's [23:51] Hey guys, you can hear me sing at http://www.eskimo.com/~areed/shout.mp3 [23:51] <^Oldbit^> don't say things like that... :) [23:51] of course when that happens, how many of us will have enough quiet or enough hearing left to hear it? [23:52] <^Oldbit^> playing mp3... [23:52] oldbit, you ordered 1902 from cccc, the boxed one? [23:52] yeah it kinda sounds like what you hear when your hearing is going bad [23:52] <^Oldbit^> yes... [23:52] cool [23:52] * ^Oldbit^ is too bashful to post the link to his own singing.. (yes, it's there somewhere..) [23:52] you sing pretty ghood man [23:53] i have a link to a song i did ....... [23:53] Thank you, thank you. [23:53] prolly wont give it out [23:53] <^Oldbit^> decent... [23:53] That's a totally live performance, I might add. No editing, EQ or anything [23:53] ok im off to bed now [23:53] Later curtis [23:53] Bye curtis [23:53] niters CurtisP [23:53] <^Oldbit^> I recorded a modern christmas carol... [23:53] yeah baby check it out [23:53] i'll have a 1902 soon!!!!! [23:53] come on now [23:54] <^Oldbit^> I'll have a 1902 monday!!!

Maybe monday's wishful thinking, but definately Tuesday.. :) [23:54] good monitor dragos [23:54] i should get my sealed DataFlyer card next thursday... wonder when i'll get the used one from softhut.. [23:55] It is a good monitor. [23:55] indeed [23:55] <^Oldbit^> Looking forward to 80 cols on my 128... never done that before... [23:55] i have a 1084 [23:55] but i need another monitor for my amiga [23:56] wow, ^Oldbit^ is stepping up :) [23:56] * Cubey has a 1701 and a 1084S :) [23:56] <^Oldbit^> good mp3 alan... [23:56] Thanks. I stumbled across it whilst cleaning out files today. Hadn't heard it in a couple years. That was a good band. [23:56] <^Oldbit^> Snog, have dedicated desk for the C= stuff now.. yes, stepping up.. :) [23:57] Oldbit: welcome to the club ;-) [23:57] sounds like Eddie and the Cruisers [23:57] I have a regular computer desk for my setup, but I need a plain flat, long desktop so I can setup a couple systems [23:58] I snagged an office desk on the side of the road for my 3rd puter desk [23:58] Trek, that's all we did in that band-- old 50's and 60s stuff. It was a lot of fun [23:58] <^Oldbit^> Your right does sound like Eddie... hehe [23:59] I found about 15 tracks of our old stuff buried on my hard drive. [23:59] my amiga is on a cheaply rigged setup lol http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v222/illiop/comp/a 5_05jan5.jpg [23:59] <^Oldbit^> Trek, same here... some cleaning after spending some time on my front porch and it works fine.. :) [23:59] I've looked for v1 and 2 for a long time... would like to see it again [23:59] * Cubey loves to show photos ;) [23:59] * Fuzz-PSW (~Fuzz-PSW@205.211.50.54) has joined #c64friends [23:59] * ChanServ sets mode: +v Fuzz-PSW [23:59] Howdy Fuzz-PSW [23:59] <^Oldbit^> scary... it that stable?? [23:59] Hello fuzz [23:59] yeah [23:59] Hey cubey [23:59] hey [00:00] <^Oldbit^> Ok, we've establish that most of us are cheapskates when it comes to desks.. hehe...
