[20:51] * Now talking in #c64friends [20:51] * Topic is 'We Adore Our C64 - and Q-Link!!' [20:52] has anybody seen that we've genetically enginnered mice to see in full color [20:52] Hello mr. Witmer, sir. [20:52] Howdy folks [20:52] hey Snogpitch [20:52] Good Evening Snog [20:52] Hello Snogpitch. [20:52] hey now [20:52] Anybody here use Star Commander and an XE1541 cable? [20:53] Evening, Snogpitch. [20:53] Operator requests assisstance. [20:53] That sounded unanimous [20:53] or... HELP!!! [20:53] naw [20:54] not sure if such a contraption would even work on win2k [20:54] one ringgy-dinggy have I reached the party to whom I am speaking? [20:54] Tried using same under MSDOS 7 and Win98SE. [20:54] No party here. [20:54] why not use use cbm4win [20:55] Haven't thought of that. [20:55] meh [20:55] doesn't work [20:55] When I start up any of my PC's the drive light illuminates on boot and extinquishes. [20:56] google says that you need an xm1541 [20:56] Attempting to access the 1541 cause the drive light to illuminate, the disk to rotate, and the computer to lock. [20:57] * PJimAFK is now known as PhotoJim [20:57] odd [20:57] I keep forgetting you guys are here earlier now (relative to us). (We don't go on daylight time.) [20:57] tis either a cable barf or a software error [20:57] My cable is switchable and does the same thing. Instructions and config utility says an XE cable will work. [20:57] no idea which [20:58] Shutting off the power to the drive frees the PC of locking up. [20:59] Snogpitch. [21:00] is it possible your printerport settings are not set correctly? [21:00] How much are tables at the CCCC show? [21:00] $15 or 3 for $35 [21:01] Using the test program xctst013 shows the PC printer port and the 1541 drive unit #8. [21:01] brb [21:02] I tried SPP and EPP under bios settings. Same effect. [21:03] there's at least one other mode... not sure if you're bios has it tho [21:03] That's ECP. Tried it too. [21:06] Roger is the one to contact regarding table reservations [21:06] did this setup use to work? [21:06] ok, that's fine.. how much extra for power? [21:06] $10 [21:07] We were going to have a pre-registration webpage up, but it's not up, yet [21:07] I'm watching this: http://www.harbaum.org/till/xu1541/index.shtml as I don't have a printer port [21:07] Webmaster decided a birthing of a kid was needed first :) [21:07] * ShadowM (~shadow@adsl-69-210-61-96.dsl.milwwi.ameritech.net) has joined #c64friends [21:07] Howdy ShadowM [21:08] howdy [21:08] Evening Mr. Holmer. [21:08] hiya Golan [21:08] Al - Yeah, that will be a nice addition to the options [21:10] anybody on Q? I got a blank screen in PC [21:10] Yeah, I got that yesterday, too [21:10] server probably needs reset again.. :/ [21:11] ARGH. [21:11] * LordRonin (~lordronin@vcsweb.com) has joined #c64friends [21:12] LR! [21:12] Hoi Ant* [21:12] I haven't been on Q for an eternity. I should really get on there again. [21:12] BRB. [21:12] * antares51 (~rick@ip68-96-142-137.om.om.cox.net) Quit (Quit: using sirc version 2.211+KSIRC/1.3.12) [21:12] Howdy LordRonin [21:13] it's kind of frustrating too, after finally getting Vice to work on my Mac [21:13] Hoi snogpitch: May be going onto Q-Link in a few months. After the linux box arrives from Destined and I learn how to use the freller [21:13] FWIW: Got the Lexmark Laser printer SC1275 in yesterday. Big bugger at 104#s [21:13] Great news, LordRonin :) [21:14] Did you hook up the printer, yet? [21:14] Haven't tested the printer yet. Got it cheap, but don't ask about the almost C note on shipping. [21:14] * madcrow (~Michael@pool-71-126-238-11.bstnma.east.verizon.net) has left #c64friends [21:14] ya, that wouldn't be cheap to ship... [21:14] No not yet, with the HUD inspection on the 3rd and MossyCon on the 4th and the shop work. Not enough hours in the day :-( [21:15] I'm glad you liked the tutorial, Snogpitch. I think I'm going to do a few more. It was surprisingly fun to make. [21:15] * Antares51 (~Dave@ip68-96-142-137.om.om.cox.net) has joined #c64friends [21:15] wb ant* [21:15] alot of folks probably took that into acct, and decided against the printer.. [21:15] Dale Sidebottom ofered me some help and advice on the printer. As it is the same one that he has. [21:15] More tutorials on what, golan? [21:16] Attempting test of Star Commander on a Compaq DeskPro 2000 under MSDOS 7. [21:16] didn't know how large it was in size and weight. No space on the 6' computer bench. there was a pallet of 7 of them going for about $50. But almost $200 on shipping. I know why now!! [21:18] ya, a 6' bench is what it needs to sit on by itself... [21:18] in the FWIW section. Do have the disk ready for duplication for our hand out at MossyCon-3. [21:18] Snog: I figure I might add more information on how to use the same setup to conncet to telnet boards and I might do one on how to VICE with your PC's modem to connect to dial-up bulletin boards. [21:19] Right now it is on a cofee table. Old wooden one from over 50 years ago. Cats like the big box it came in though.

[21:20] golan: Should be here at MossyCon3. But set up and learning how it works, that will be some time. Do want to enter Q-Link. [21:20] hey _Six_ [21:21] LR: Worry not, it's pretty easy to configure. [21:21] First on the list is making this new printer work in post script. [21:21] golan: that was what I was told about learning the Amiga. All I got understood was the three finger salute. [21:21] * LordRonin am a dum ork at times [21:22] I'll get you Q-Linking, don't worry. [21:22] * Roadnoise (Roadnoise@da001d0123.nyc-ny.osd.concentric.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) [21:22] * dracosilv is bored [21:22] i've got all sorts of projects to do [21:22] and they're pretty much stalled [21:22] LordRonin, Roger read portions of your newsletter at this month's meeting about your correspondence with a member of ours [21:22] or i don't have the time/skills to finish them..

[21:26] dracosilv: Now to find a place for the printer and that linux system that is due here at the con. [21:26] Hello All [21:26] which con? [21:26] i have no room for anything in my house.. it's so small. [21:26] draco* more space means more projects. sort of directly proportional I guess. [21:26] draco* mossycon3 4/Ap/07ce [21:27] cleaning the black toner dust off the insides of that 1275 printer right now. [21:27] ah. [21:27] ack! they shipped it with toner inside? [21:27] well i have on my plate: [21:27] music server machine to work on [21:27] * Roadnoise (Roadnoise@da001d0186.nyc-ny.osd.concentric.net) has joined #c64friends [21:27] clock project [21:27] Creating bootable MSDOS disk with Star Commander installed. [21:27] static memory futzing [21:28] Roadnoise, what's shaking? [21:28] and getting pc's tested/working to get them out of the way [21:28] dracosliv should send all his projects to me, and then have nothing to worry about [21:28] no thanks [21:28] I'm reading the Atari 8-bit FAQ while chatting here. Is that wrong? [21:28] i'll just muddle thru some of them.. [21:29] D/U in and out, as per usual. :( ,golan. [21:29] now if i could only find my compact flash adapter and the 64mb cf card that's in it.

[21:37] Aw, take care of yourself, Jeremy. [21:37] oh I will [21:38] ya, I rode around town with the windows down [21:38] It's just usually I get a little tired [21:38] IanC: I have an 800XL, that's it. Not even a disk drive. [21:38] Wait, I have an Atari calculator that I want to eBay. That's it. I have a lot of calculators. [21:38] I've been turning on the a.c. in my car the last few days.

[21:47] anteres: how does one make a file read and write accessible in windows? [21:48] right click the file... [21:48] I finally got Star Commander working! [21:49] *Heavy sigh of relief* [21:49] look at it's properties.... [21:49] Ahh thanks Snog [21:49] * destined pings his forehead [21:50] * beeman (~Javauser@225-8.9-67.tampabay.res.rr.com) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [21:50] Changing file attributes in windows is done by right-clicking the file, selecting "properties" and click or unclick what you want. [21:51] doesn't it still have an "attrib" command? [21:52] You can if you want. Just used to doing it the easy way. Damned tired of taking the hard way around. [21:53] Now ... 'bout that trout? [21:54] * Moloch smacks antares51 with sixteen frozen trout [21:54] Antares51 did you get SC working? [21:54] It finally works.

[21:55] * Antares51 deflects destines slam. [21:56] oh no, moloch's a C= priest? [21:56] ok, enough from me. [21:56] Antares51 what was the problem? [21:56] Anteres: does windows xp have attrib command? [21:56] Sc.ini was READ-ONLY. [21:56] Windows hates his XM/XE cable? [21:57] Which XP? XP Pro has a whole bunch! [21:58] Anteres: star commander and XP are not seriously compatible unless you make the file changes to make it so [21:58] Easier to run cbm4win [21:58] Now I can transfer the floppy over to the system I intended. My current test system boots into Win2000. [21:59] Will CBM4WIN run under NT? [21:59] It's more of a problem with XP [21:59] There is a file in the latest version of SC detailing the problem [22:00] any one else have any ideas? [22:00] I'll leave it alone. I really want to use 64HDD. [22:00] * Oldbit (Oldbit@dialup-4.225.145.101.Dial1.Cincinnati1.Level3.net) has joined #c64friends [22:00] is that working on your system? [22:00] The NT question was about cbm4win. [22:00] hi Jeff [22:00] Have been curious how that works [22:00] * James_M (~james@ppp-68-251-68-72.dsl.chcgil.ameritech.net) has left #c64friends [22:00] Howdy Oldbit [22:00] Hiya gents [22:01] Anteres: My memory was it was only XP that was a problem [22:01] Hi Oldbit [22:01] hey OldBit [22:01] Hi, Jeff. [22:01] 64HDD needs a registration key to operate. Requires e-mailing the author. [22:01] Hi Ian,Shadow,al, & robert [22:01] Evening Oldbit. [22:01] Anteres: so what are you trying to do in the end? [22:02] Hi Antares [22:02] * destined steps back to allow the whole channel on in this conversation [22:02] I'm tired of having to use five steps to use a .d64 image on either my 64 or 128. [22:03] I'm tired of all the floppies I've amassed to run all this "stuff". [22:04] A hard drive is more efficient, easier to access and provides an interface to directly access the 'net from one of my eight-bit machines. [22:05] Also, I know that continuing to use floppies will, in time, wear them out. [22:05] So you want an efficient way to transfer files from your commie via an XE cable? [22:06] ya, I've been throwing away floppies lately, can't even reformat them... [22:07] from your commie to the pc? [22:07] I adore my CMD HD :) [22:07] I received a bunch of 50-pin, SCSI, 1 and 2 gig hard drive mechs today. I will test all of them to see if they work iin CMD hard drive enclosures. [22:07] Not just transfer, access the files from the hard drive. [22:07] Evening, Jeff. [22:07] * WizardNJ (~WizardNJ@ool-457d9eb4.dyn.optonline.net) has joined #c64friends [22:07] Why Commodore never produced a hard drive for the 64/128 line escapes me.

[22:08] * Dopple bows to his peeps. [22:09] Anteres: cbm4win is getting more and more imaging formats for the PC [22:09] It would be a lot easier to use than star comannder now [22:09] Hi golan [22:09] imo only [22:09] If I can get those mechs CMD DOS-formatted, then I can give them away. [22:09] I'll definitely look into it. It's nice to know my cable works! [22:10] Does anyone know if Petre Scheper added mnib and gcr64 to cbm4win? [22:10] Robert: Do you want me to bring my two CMD HD units? [22:10] Forgot to buy more tea. [22:10] * Oldbit added an SD card, PS2 port, VGA Adapter, and 4 stereo music voices to his 64 tonight. [22:10] Must be nice Oldbit. [22:10] Oh, your Propeller project progresses! [22:11] http://www.orrtech.net/propeller/c642propeller.jpg [22:11] Hey! [22:11] I used to work on propellers.

[22:26] golan: should not be any more of a problem for me.. [22:26] That is some cruise control, Antares. [22:26] I have online resources for what to download and your idea with ./configure with prefix was what I needed.

[22:49] * destined admires watching channel on slow link and coding at the same time [22:50] ...Standing By... [22:51] ...beep... ...beep... [22:51] I'm starting to really appeciate the VIC designers [22:51] Mar 24 22:11:16 * Oldbit added an SD card, PS2 port, VGA Adapter, and 4 stereo music voices to his 64 tonight. [22:52] So what is this interface we are referring to>? [22:52] I'm working on some VGA controls right now.. starting with some basics.. a plot command [22:52] put the dot here. [22:52] put a dot there. [22:53] yeah.. [22:53] thanks al [22:53] for the info. above [22:53] It's Propeller, Jeremy. [22:53] Sorry, I have been away from the C= channels too long.. [22:53] The propeller is doing the magic, I'm just creating a hardware/software interface for it. [22:54] Is this a new connector and device? [22:54] it's a beanie [22:54] lol [22:54] beanie is a general reference term used by people who are not wanting to specify hardware.. [22:54] It's a gyrocopter!

[22:57] I mean the pic, not the tongue bitting [22:59] nice work, OldBit. very clean, nicely laid out [23:01] ok, so this thing adds some new functions to the C64.. [23:01] "propellor.." [23:01] Ah, my misspelling. [23:01] Actually, this one is setup to push all the limits of the chip [23:02] I need advice. Buy or no buy? [23:02] O.K., instead of trying to remember it as Propellor, I say it should be called "Airwolf". ;-) [23:02] * WizardNJ (~WizardNJ@ool-457d9eb4.dyn.optonline.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [23:02] The final will be a protoboard with just a userport connector on it, no breadboards..

[23:03] O.K., when I see it at C=4, I will call it Airwolf. ;-) [23:04] hehe I loved that show [23:04] hehe [23:04] Me, too. [23:04] Though it was so 1980's ago [23:04] Better to call it Airwolf than Blue Thunder. ;-) [23:04] Chip Gracy and other propeller heads have been helping me along with some of the issues I've encountered.. good group of guys.. [23:05] hmm [23:05] It's good to have help from others. [23:05] So this is going to be an expansion board for the C64? [23:05] blue thunder! ha! [23:05] that chopper was always running out of fuel [23:05] Trivia question: what C64 product did Chip Gracy invent in the 80's? [23:06] The Blue Thunder movie was good, though. [23:06] ramboard?

[23:14] the one who did "infinite loop?" [23:14] I loved that mag. [23:14] I could send him an e-mail. [23:14] Someone on one of the lists was asking about it. [23:14] If he was still going.. [23:14] Yeah, I saw that message. [23:15] damn rubber renew stuff smells like root beer [23:15] What are you renewing? [23:16] <_Fungus_> hmm , TurboDuo/PCengine is more of a challenge for CD32 [23:16] <_Fungus_> very similar [23:16] <_Fungus_> except the duo is like a super c64 [23:16] wiper blades [23:17] Oh, I just replace them. [23:17] I have a set of really nice Valeo wiper blades, the type with no frame... just cleaned them tonite before putting them back on [23:17] They are still good, oddly enough, cuz i ran them all last summer/fall.

[23:17] <_Fungus_> RobertB: known as the TurboGraphics16 here [23:17] got one [23:17] bonk is my hero [23:18] <_Fungus_> I have 51 iso's of games for it [23:18] <_Fungus_> thousands [23:18] <_Fungus_> it has more software than any other jap consoles combined. [23:18] <_Fungus_> :D [23:18] yeah, nice system [23:18] Ah, I don't think the Amiga members have that system. [23:18] <_Fungus_> it went from 1986 to 1999 [23:18] i have turbo express ehere [23:19] <_Fungus_> mostly rpg's [23:19] <_Fungus_> it didn't get very good support here [23:19] <_Fungus_> and the worst games got released...

[23:22] <_Fungus_> the cpu is a modded 65c02 [23:22] <_Fungus_> and the gfx hw are very similar to what c65 was supposed to be [23:22] To which are you referring again, Fungus? [23:23] <_Fungus_> the turboduo [23:23] I remember seeing ads for the S'More and thinking it looked cool. I'm not 100% sure what it does though. I think it's has extra BASIC commands and some RAM. I can't find an image of it so I think it's more complicated than meets the eye. [23:24] S'more features 60 new and enhanced basic commands [23:24] hmm, SuperGrafx, nice setup [23:24] <_Fungus_> Moloch: yeah [23:24] <_Fungus_> with the arcade adapter [23:24] <_Fungus_> roxxor [23:24] also gives you 61,183 bytes of C-64 RAM [23:24] <_Fungus_> +cd [23:24] preprogrammed Function keys [23:24] wow, only five games ever released [23:24] error trapping [23:25] Turbo expresses were the shiznit.
