[21:00] Are the details ready to announce for WOC2007? [21:01] haven't heard/seen anything official yet [21:03] That's hard to answer. There's going to be a change of the guard at TPUG shortly. The WoC date should have been set months ago. [21:03] Anyway, I probably shouldn't go into the whole thing here (again.) [21:03] That's fine, I thought maybe offical word was out and I hadn't seen it yet [21:06] * JLawless (~jimbo@spoof-B27B675C.dial1.denver1.level3.net) has joined #c64friends [21:07] Good evening, all.

Just don't remember the name weel right now. [21:18] of course there were alot of members in the early ninties who never showed up at meetings [21:19] I'll have to write down the name. Some went up for sale, some to club members, and i grabbed a couple. Even got the dox and red thing for the elvira game.

This is why you probably did not log in for 5+ minutes [21:23] We can do the monitor thing now. What I didn't understand was the reboot statement.

[22:13] He thinks Space Taxi and Raid on Bungeling Bay are "Rare Collectibles" ... that should tell you something right away [22:13] Snogpitch no it was a sale on ebay.

[22:31] {Snogpitch} This one was making a weird noise as it was loading [22:31] Entered QRoom: OldbitRR [22:31] My original did that years ago. drive was OK, but it destraoyed my Q disk. [22:31] {Snogpitch} no errors as it finally came up tho [22:31] {OldbitRR} Evening gents [22:32] Hoi OldBitRR [22:32] sometimes the disk needs oiling. put a little 3in1 in the sleeve :) [22:32] {OldbitRR} We finished another section of the retroroom tonight.

[22:35] and a hint of garlic salt [22:36] I thought about the lock/ease IIRC the name. But there is too much drip, like in WD-40. Whic Ant* I haven't used. [22:37] Disk drives should use a good grade silicone lube. Graphite can create problems. I've used teflon spray without issues. [22:37] Had a specific can of CRC soemthig or another. Given to me by a past member. He used it also on the printer rods. As well as in the old relay boxes at the phon substation. [22:38] Just remembered I need to repair the "other 1571" used at C=4 [22:39] gotta run Gilmore Girls is on ;) [22:39] * al (Dangerous@spoof-84F0D6B.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: keep the oily side down) [22:39] Drive handle came loose on it [22:39] Getting sleepy.

One here is pushing the phone stuff. Has little in the way of parts. Not like it was when I worked for them in the 70s [22:49] {OldbitRR} you are dating yourself LR... [22:49] Ah the days of United and Allied radio [22:49] <_Fungus_> antique electronic supply rox [22:49] OldbitRR I tried but I turned myself down [22:49] {OldbitRR} hehe [22:50] Besides i like girls with long hair, and short skirts [22:50] <_Fungus_> allparts has good deal on some chips and led's n stuff [22:50] {OldbitRR} allparts shipping or min order?

Xport [22:52] <_Fungus_> I used to buy from Newark too [22:52] OK, 1571 good for next demos [22:52] <_Fungus_> but they have crazy min orders now [22:52] {OldbitRR} Xport=tiny Lantronix UDS10/100 [22:52] Price? [22:52] {OldbitRR} $51+ship [22:53] Not bad, have to consider that after the DSL for the place. [22:53] {OldbitRR} Thinking it would look cool to have an ethernet port on the back of my C64... [22:54] Didn't someone do that with their hacked palm cradle? [22:54] At the moment, we are considering the DSL for the place, and then connecting the 128D to the linux system. Still need to learn much more. [22:54] Maybe it was Eric [22:54] {OldbitRR} yes, but Xport will work at lower speeds.. tcp stack built in [22:55] * beeman (~Javauser@spoof-5A69352D.tampabay.res.rr.com) Quit (Broken pipe) [22:55] Wasn't that one having a problem with speed [22:55] Is Xport made by Lantronix? [22:55] Like limited to 9600 or under? [22:56] {OldbitRR} snog: yes [22:56] {OldbitRR} xport operates everything 300baud on up [22:56] is xport the thing that runs off the user port? [22:57] Time for me to run the game. See all of you during the week [22:57] {OldbitRR} no it has serial connections [22:57] * LordRonin (~lordronin@spoof-D0F00497.dial1.seattle1.level3.net) Quit (Client exited) [22:57] {OldbitRR} simple job to interface to the userport [22:57] So what is the upper limit of it? [22:58] {OldbitRR} can't remember. (will have to look up when I'm on a pc again) but I don't remember it being very [22:58] {OldbitRR} limited [22:59] This sounds like the same device that golan has been talking about../ [22:59] http://www.lantronix.com/device-networking/embedded-device-servers/xp ort.html [22:59] {OldbitRR} yes, he said he had one.. [22:59] ok [22:59] brb food [23:00] * golan notices XPort talk [23:00] I've had one for ages. :) [23:01] {OldbitRR} hey golan, is there a text browser built in by chance? [23:04] {OldbitRR} . [23:05] What is considered RetroMac? [23:05] * CincyJim (~i@spoof-4B8CF0AB.cinci.res.rr.com) has joined #c64friends [23:05] Howdy CincyJim [23:05] * ChanServ sets mode: +v CincyJim [23:05] {OldbitRR} Classic,mac+,mac2ci,ci [23:06] HHey all [23:06] {OldbitRR} of course he's go some powerpc and a g3 setup over here.. [23:06] So maybe my Powerbook 150 would fit [23:06] {OldbitRR} oh yeah.. [23:07] I think I've got a loose interconnect cable on it, video has lines going down the screen, but it isn't cracked. [23:07] {OldbitRR} I've gotta get my amiga stuff setup.. Show this mac guy a real gui. hehe [23:08] Jeff: Built-in browser? No. [23:08] Ever used a Lantronix UDS-* product? Same thing. [23:08] {OldbitRR} ah, always a telnet connection. [23:08] Basically the same anyway. [23:08] {OldbitRR} no.. closest Ive come is tcpser [23:08] {OldbitRR} assuming I can do telbbsing from it. [23:09] Where's worldlam I have a copy of ghostbusters, old no box and no dox I want to sell him for 2.4 mil [23:09] I got the box and dox! [23:10] {OldbitRR} He's got me wondering if my ISEPIC is worth it's weight in gold.. [23:10] WOW we can get 6mil together [23:10] OB: It's just an RS-232 to ethernet device, that's it. [23:10] {OldbitRR} perfect. I won't need a pc to do this stuff. :) [23:12] {OldbitRR} I don't get it, weirdlam bids the stuff up to purchase it, then wants to dump it back on ebay? [23:12] {OldbitRR} point? [23:12] You'll need one for configuration. [23:12] Hey snog I saw some floppys out at MC today it said .34 is that each or for the whole package [23:12] Worldlam has twice now threatened (in a round about way) to sue me and yet he never follows up. [23:12] {OldbitRR} yeah, been reading the guide.. like those three control lines.. [23:12] 5 1/4? [23:13] LOL anyone who gets there *** handed to them on newsgroups usually has a phantom lawyer in his basement ready to fax some mystery papers out [23:13] {OldbitRR} weirdlam is going to sue you why? that would be funny [23:13] 3.5 [23:14] He would probably sue for defication of character, lol [23:14] * smj (~smj@spoof-F48CD4CB.freeshell.org) has joined #c64friends [23:14] {OldbitRR} lol [23:14] Howdy smj [23:14] greetings [23:14] {OldbitRR} hi smj [23:14] Roger tells me I have a credit with the CCCC now :) [23:14] {OldbitRR} nice [23:15] well, I am now an *official* exhibitor for VCF east.. yay.. [23:15] OH btw, did anyone get one of those 1581 kits? [23:15] Because I picked up two panasonic drives. [23:15] {OldbitRR} vcf, wish I could get out that direction [23:16] http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=02 00664 [23:16] if that's what you saw, that's per disk [23:17] lots of credit, smj? [23:17] nah, just a few bucks.. he sent it parcel post rather than priority mila :) [23:17] mail [23:17] ya, it's senseless to send disks priority [23:18] no, it was a lot of stuff. [23:18] {OldbitRR} feel free to donate any extra credits to the Retroroom.. :) [23:18] media rate is cheap and sometimes gets there just as fast [23:18] power supply, a 1581 kit and some other things as well as the disks. [23:18] but the disks I'm getting are 5.25" DSDD, right? :) [23:19] hopefully they are... [23:19] on those 3.5" 1.44mb I thought you could just put tape over the non-write protect hole, right? [23:19] you wanted the new old stock in boxes right? [23:19] right [23:19] {OldbitRR} well I gotta get home and get some sleep [23:19] NOS 5.25 DSDD. [23:19] those are dsdd [23:19] {OldbitRR} nite all [23:19] OB: No DVDs yet. :( [23:19] plus we picked up another case of them [23:20] Left QRoom: OldbitRR [23:20] may they never run out [23:20] I'm using silica packets to story my floppy disks. [23:20] err. [23:20] to store with my floppies. [23:21] at least I think I saw Roger with the case that LUCKI had.... [23:21] they had several cases to start with... [23:21] second time I went back thru their table, the disks were long gone [23:21] hah. [23:22] you saw the picture of all that was left on Sunday? [23:22] The two panasonic drives I picked up are JU-257 [23:22] whats the URL? [23:23] <_Fungus_> CincyJim: are you not interested in those 2 games now? [23:24] http://www.geocities.com/c64-128-amiga/photos2.html most photos are linked thru here [23:25] ahh I've seen some of these.

[23:29] ya, a coworker of mine brought that in [23:29] <_Fungus_> neat [23:30] His dad has had it in his office ever since he can remember [23:30] Snogpitch> I know.. it was a lot of fun meeting and hanging out with everyone! [23:31] looking thru those photos, you're hard pressed to find an unhappy face anywhere [23:31] <_Fungus_> Moloch: do you have trouble connecting to www.jammingsignal.com ? [23:32] I was able to meet Jim Butterfield! [23:33] Jim visited us at the 2006 C=4 [23:34] <_Fungus_> hmm [23:34] * James_M (~james@spoof-BA7B34E.dsl.chcgil.ameritech.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [23:35] Maurice also was at the show.... .. .. .. .. [23:35] <_Fungus_> hmm [23:35] anyway, the photo group with the C= filing cabinet showed the remaining stuff at the freetable [23:35] <_Fungus_> jammingsignal seems to have issues with comcast [23:35] Fungus - no [23:35] <_Fungus_> hmm [23:35] <_Fungus_> why is my ip banned? [23:36] about 18 photos down... [23:36] <_Fungus_> that's not very nice...

[23:40] One table partially filled [23:40] no [23:40] one was a 1902 I think [23:40] the other two were magnavox [23:41] how much were you asking for the 1902? [23:41] there was a note on it that it needed repair [23:41] ahh :) [23:41] thus it was on the free table [23:42] I have a similiar Magnavox here on my desk...nice monitor [23:42] Does it have S-video input? [23:42] (: [23:42] <_Fungus_> anyone have 1702 cap/xistor kits? [23:42] 40/80 column [23:43] but its analog video, right? [23:43] I mean duh..

[23:45] Bight bryan [23:45] I can get to leif's [23:45] * Bryan (~chatzilla@spoof-32ECD8AF.hsd1.nj.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.78.1 [Firefox 2.0.0.3/2007030919]) [23:46] <_Fungus_> I thought it was FF first, but no go with IE either [23:46] Snog: yeah, I was on leif's site. [23:46] can't get to ShadowM's it times out [23:46] Only person I could not get to was Glen Holmers [23:46] aka shadowM [23:47] <_Fungus_> yeah, that one doesnt work either [23:47] I can get to jammingsignal fine.. its just the lyons one doesn't work. [23:48] I can't believe I've not played artillery duel yet. [23:48] <_Fungus_> I wonder if Leif is getting my emails [23:48] Look's like his website is down...and he's out of town, so it might be down for a while [23:49] all the other photo links seem to work [23:50] Joe's jppbm website I can get to [23:50] Rbt just got his VCF9 photos up .. I remembered talking to him at the VCF and he was still using FILM. [23:50] <_Fungus_> I'd really like to browse around jppbm's site... [23:51] ya, RobertB still using film, digital isn't good enough quality for him, yet [23:52] well, it might be a price issue for him. [23:53] maybe [23:53] I think [23:53] Fungus - Can you get here? http://home.ica.net/~leifb/bbs/ [23:53] <_Fungus_> yeah, that works [23:55] seems to me, unless you are making billboards, digital cameras are pretty good [23:55] Heheh [23:55] Going retro and listening to some good ol' slayer [23:55] hmm [23:55] I don't have a digital camera tho [23:56] What would happen when they stop making film? [23:56] <_Fungus_> they won't [23:56] <_Fungus_> :) [23:56] I find it hard to believe they will stop making film [23:56] certain sizes might be unavailable [23:56] <_Fungus_> nah, you can do too much with it, that you can't do easily with digital [23:57] like when was the last time you saw black and white film ?? [23:57] <_Fungus_> oh, you can still get B&W film [23:57] :-) just look at e-bay? [23:57] hey does anyone know where I can get a ribbon cable made or purchase a pre made one? [23:57] ;-) [23:57] yes, but you have to search alot [23:57] the interconnects are 28pin sockets [23:57] smh: printer? [23:57] no, its internal [23:58] I've only been able to find 14pin dip [23:58] I need 28pin dip [23:58] there used to be a shop that would let you fab your own cables there on the spot. [23:58] {Snogpitch} time to mosey from Q niters [23:58] now I'd have to buy the tools. [23:58] Left QRoom: Snogpitch [23:58] * Q-Link (~qlink@E2DE2846.AED81F73.F3598A7.IP) has left #c64friends (Try QuantumLink RELOADED!) [23:58] at some place like frys. [23:58] <_Fungus_> hehe, ok it's not me [23:59] smj: what is the name of the printer the cable your looking for? [23:59] its not for a printer, its internal. [23:59] for this: http://sdf1.org/curiosity/prophet10 [00:00] <_Fungus_> whois took a reeeeeealy long time to lookup jammingsignal [00:00] its a ribbon cable that connects a PCB daughter card to a main board. [00:00] <_Fungus_> over a minute [00:00] the one in there is too short.. [00:00] Snog - Forty listings of 35mm B&W film for sale on Amazon.com [00:00] another idea I had was just to use a socket with extra long legs. [00:00] ok, now look for 126 format, Moloch [00:00] Fungus: ;-) dns slow? [00:01] and then desolder the socket on the daughter card and run the long leg socket through the daughter card into the main board. [00:01] Sounds like comcast dns is slow? [00:01] smJ: what is the name of the printer? [00:01] its not for a printer. [00:01] Snog - 46 results, some are B&W [00:01] I'm looking for a ribbon cable with 28pin dip socket interconnects. [00:01] <_Fungus_> WW: I used tucows to look it up [00:02] well folks time for me to call it a nite [00:02] <_Fungus_> I'll tell Schema about it [00:02] catch y'all next weekend [00:02] niters [00:02] adios [00:02] * Disconnected End of #c64friends buffer Sun May 20 06:45:39 2007
