[20:54] damn, CJ was hoping that sx634 was some sort of monster hack. [20:54] that would rox0r though [20:54] j\if not, I'll make room. [20:54] WB RN [20:54] my sx64 has a lot of fun stuff going on with it. [20:54] Nice. [20:54] JiffyDOS rules! [20:54] I hate to ask [20:54] Copying. [20:54] Yes, it's the best, we know!

[21:08] hah.. yer the same age I'm pretty sure :/ [21:08] Bottle says 99% [21:08] IceBreaker - most likely :D [21:08] I don't think it was Snog [21:08] eight guesses [21:08] Could use some 90%. good for tape heads on my quad open-reel. [21:08] Song != galaxydood [21:09] here, I'll make my eight guesses right now [21:09] CJ, Dopple, dragos, Eddie, masterhit, Moloch, Snogpitch or WizardNJ [21:09] it's not Snog or masterhit [21:09] CK - RIGHT!

[21:10] smj - no, I use my real name on eBay [21:10] Fungus is, fortunately, not an op [21:10] Was it the snogster? [21:10] The higher the concentration, the faster it evaporates...keep that in mind [21:10] no [21:10] * CDKaiser elbows Fungus. [21:10] galaxydood only buys stuff on egay he don't sell.

Thinking about picking up one of Charles' C128's, and I'll need a monitor to go with it. [21:19] Anyone got a spare? [21:19] Antares51. is there a difference between the 64 and 128 versions? [21:19] I hoarde all 80c monitors [21:19] I just might. Before they ditch the parts. [21:19] Shouldn't be. [21:20] IceB... you're breaking the Code of Conduct... hahahahahahaha ;þ [21:20] hah, I horde KIM-1s [21:20] Prefer using the 64 anyway. Looking forward to finding where my son hid it.

[21:21] First weekend in May [21:21] He said the 128 version is "much better"... so if that's the case, I think I'll want to get a 128... [21:21] it's possible [21:21] iffy but possible [21:21] bal: heh.. sorta :) I grab Amiga monitors so I can use em on my Amigas too :) [21:21] Antares51: did you have one coming to you already? [21:21] Hey Snog :) [21:21] I have two 1084's here. [21:21] * ShadowM (~shadow@adsl-69-210-36-109.dsl.milwwi.ameritech.net) has joined #c64friends [21:21] Howdy ShadowM [21:21] re [21:21] Not yet.

[21:22] hellow, ShadowM [21:22] i never even used it yet. [21:22] I've got a 1804S-D2, but something is wrong with the 80 column display on it... it works great in 40 col., though... [21:22] Hi Cameron [21:22] I'll consider it highly. [21:22] ShadowM, did you get on Q? [21:22] ah, it's Glenn [21:22] no :( [21:22] it's not? [21:22] hmmmm, I wonder who's on there now?

[21:23] aha [21:23] hello Jim [21:23] Howdy JLawless [21:23] Good evening Mr. Lawless, sir. [21:23] man, big group tonight [21:23] post-holiday c64 chat! ;-) [21:23] It's possible I munged my setup, I was playing with having the '64 set up as a dumb terminal to Linux :) [21:23] Hey Jim [21:23] Balzabaar, how'd the setup for Q work out? [21:24] CDKaiser> good to see you around again tonight... [21:24] Jim, I moved closer to where you are. My mother died and I'm now living in east Omaha. [21:24] Snog... haven't tried it yet... I need to get my Aprotek MiniModem-C24 to work on the BBS... Until then, the BBS is using the Omnitronix RS-232 Deluxe interface... [21:24] bryan, why, thank you [21:24] Is Q back up? [21:24] I was sort of putting it off, because last week it was down... [21:25] I'm trying it now...haven't got a login yet :/ [21:25] no, q is down until jim get's back home [21:25] same interface I have on mine [21:25] w2here has jim been anyways [21:25] yeah, that's what I thought... [21:25] CK: Did you see the 2nd ramlink on ebay? [21:25] Balz, you have access to MW BBS [21:25] again. [21:26] a second one? [21:26] however, I've never found much use for RAMLinks myself [21:26] Me eiether [21:26] Other than the parellel to the CMD HD [21:26] CJ: again? [21:26] yes [21:26] There are two [21:26] CJ: right [21:26] Balz, you called MW BBS earlier, you now have full access. [21:26] RamLinks are good to run Geos from [21:27] I know, but I prefer fast *persistent* storage [21:27] Indeed [21:27] CJ: Yeah, okay... sorry, you confused me there... hehehehe... Thanks! :) [21:27] No problem. [21:27] someone works on a flash RAM disk cache, or something, that would be cool [21:27] Its only going to be so fast. [21:27] CJ: It locked up on me when I tried to access the message area. [21:27] No, it didnt lock on you. [21:27] well, yeah, the serial bus [21:27] I also liked to boot Novaterm from my RamLink, up and dialing in under 10 seconds :) [21:27] Balz, it was waiting for your input. [21:27] well something locked on me... [21:27] but you'd need a batterybackup, wouldn't you, Snog? [21:28] Heh, perhaps. [21:28] otherwise turning off the system is going to suck [21:28] Well it should be fine now. [21:28] must have been CGterm then. [21:28] thanks [21:28] Yep, batterybackup came with mine [21:28] No, it's not flawless, it could have been. [21:28] oh, well, there [21:28] but that wasn't standard, I don't think [21:28] hehe anyway, you've got full access, please enjoy the bbs. [21:28] nice to see bain's Cpu going for $152.. Darn I'd think it would go for more./ [21:28] it's more now [21:28] * CDKaiser glares at CJ. [21:28] actually, it's always powered with the wallwart, the battery helps with temporary power outages [21:29] but did it come with the battery? [21:29] hmm [21:29] 188 seems so cheap [21:29] Mine did when I purchased it from CMD [21:29] I'd big $250 if I could [21:29] when I get this setup worked out that Snogpitch taught me, I'll be calling more of the Telnet BBS's, using my C64! :D [21:29] really [21:29] Hehehe CK what'd I do? [21:29] I always thought you had to get a battery for it separately [21:29] CJ: you bid up the SCPU! ;) [21:29] I did :) [21:29] see? [21:30] lol [21:30] you jerk! [21:30] :-P [21:30] I got it! [21:30] lol [21:30] It came with battery, walwart, 1mb of ram, disk of utilities, and manual [21:30] I bid 2k for it. [21:30] Antares: Where at? [21:30] Cj: better idea is just figure a way to clone it. [21:30] * Hellion_1 (~Hellion_1@h69-130-182-30.69-130.unk.tds.net) has joined #c64friends [21:30] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Hellion_1 [21:30] Near Eppley. [21:30] Howdy Hellion_1 [21:30] well, that *is* interesting [21:30] Hey hellion [21:30] what's the battery? [21:30] Hey all!! [21:31] Wow. You are close. [21:31] Hellion! How are ya? [21:31] Hey Hallion_1 [21:31] Are you in Omaha or Carter Lake? [21:31] He IS a hellion. No doubt about it. [21:31] Yup!! :) [21:31] Come on over some time and look at my equipment. [21:31] The battery looks like the kind that are used to power emergency exit signs [21:31] I could also use some programming help. [21:32] like a 3.6V lithium? [21:32] My 128 equipment is setup and runnable. [21:32] no, it's like 6volt [21:32] Antares51: Cool. You'll have to send me an e-mail with your address/phone #. Sorry to hear about your mom. [21:33] hmm [21:33]
