[20:53] * Now talking in #c64friends [20:53] * Topic is 'We Adore Our C64 == and Q-Link!!' [20:53] * Set by Snogpitch on Mon Oct 01 10:31:36 [20:53] Hello Jeremy. [20:53] Howdy folks [20:53] six, you have the upgrade kit?? [20:53] Snizzog to the Pizzich [20:53] Hey Six [20:53] Snog [20:53] hey Snogpitch [20:53] worldlam listed another ramlink with 2megs and no power supply [20:54] Aye, I've got the upgrade kit still in the ESP box [20:54] Evening Mr. Witmer, sir. [20:54] for a gazillion dollars [20:54] how much is that in US pesos? [20:54] Anteres [20:54] I need to learn ML programming, pronto! Need more to do with my SuperCPU :-) [20:54] Speaking of super snapshot.... [20:54] New PSW demo new years -> [20:54] {Dopple} Six, pesos are coming.... [20:54] "Something I quickly whipped up based on some (incomplete) game code. RUN it on a 30xx or 40xx series PET: [20:54] http://psw.ca/prg/HNY2008_PSW.zip" [20:54] US Pesos, sigh [20:54] yes, PET based ;) [20:54] There's that Jamaicamon for SuperCPU, I think. [20:55] Excavating in the garage, I found my 8050s, but my PETs all suck. [20:55] Six, is the Silver demo available in a form that will run on the IDE64? [20:55] I know a (very)little C, I wonder how well C is on the C= [20:55] It should be fine on IDE64, it's a single file. [20:56] Just packaged in d64 [20:57] except the directory's been doctored ;-) [20:58] hehe - That's Saehn's work. He's the master of all things artistic [20:58] Bookmarked Jamaicamon, thanks [20:58] looks like D64 Editor was able to extract it OK - trying it now [20:59] Rossmöller Turboprocess 4 MHz -> http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie wItem&rd=1&item=160196115461 [21:00] Quick- someone buy that for me. [21:00] Hi bidder Phase_5 ??? Huh? [21:00] * weirdwolf looks to see if Worldlam might bid up the price. [21:00] :-) [21:01] ahh german [21:01] M: Are you interested? [21:02] Maybe, the Turbo Process comes up every 2-3 months on eBay.de [21:02] same for Flash8 [21:02] same one? [21:02] No, seriously. Someone buy that for me. I'm like poor and stuff. [21:03] * Caricon (~Caricoin@6258843C.64D822F7.31DE32BF.IP) has joined #c64friends [21:03] Howdy Caricon [21:03] Caricon [21:03] Hello.

[21:08] Just got done with dinner. [21:08] Hello Mr. Holmer. [21:09] Hello Mr. 51. [21:09] ya so did I, still licking the peanut butter off my fingers [21:09] heh [21:09] My name is mud. [21:09] laquerhead [21:10] {Dopple} tommy the cat's my name [21:10] SIX: I have some oranges with your name on them... [21:10] people from the west will not be on here tonight they don`t have power out there [21:10] I don't know you! [21:10] * Moloch lives in the west [21:11] plenty of power here [21:11] heheh [21:11] Koalalover [21:11] I live in Western Ohio...got power here [21:11] * al (~Dangerous@E262D1EB.FA29AB27.9925D5C2.IP) Quit (Ping timeout) [21:11] haha [21:11] ok, for the record, i had nothing to do with the outrageously funny robertbernardo.com [21:11] Hey, I live in Western Ohio too. [21:11] C64 Bunny?! ahah, wtf [21:11] That was funny. [21:12] http://cgi.ebay.de/Commodore-CBM-Systemfamilie-3001-8001_W0QQitemZ13 0186896300QQihZ003QQ [21:13] I'll go see who did that. [21:13] good luck [21:13] robertbernardo.com seems to be hosted by powerprohosting.com [21:13] can you use a pal super snapshot on a ntsc commodore? [21:13] with links to eskimo.com, robslinks.com and such [21:13] Info: Yes. [21:13] or carts from europe? [21:14] Info: the fastloaders probably won't work. [21:14] just not game or high res, right? [21:14] the fast loader probably won't work [21:14] roger [21:14] In fact, IIRC, I've used my NTSC SS on my PAL 64 without problems, but I did have to @TD before $ [21:15] yeah, the 64 just locks up otherwise [21:15] Well, the timing's just off. [21:15] brb [21:15] Six, my head hurts watching the screen full of scrolls in Silver. Awesome! [21:16] The way those loaders (Moloch: please correct me if I'm off here) work is by using the clk and data lines both to move data and strictly controlling the timing. [21:16] Registered thru go.daddy, by a private company. [21:16] Schema: That's Elwix's part. I did write two scrollers for them. [21:16] Redid my 4000. It runs a lot more stable. Also mostly completed my new dual-core processor system. Next is 64HDD. [21:16] I liked how he ran the rasters in slowly, too. [21:17] Dragos: I bet this would fit your Educater 64. http://cgi.ebay.com/DUST-COVER-for-COMMODORE-MONITOR-and-COMMODORE-64-128_W0QQitemZ1502 00715319QQihZ005QQcategoryZ74945QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem [21:17] Sweet! Oh hey - I got two milk crates full of 4.7GB IDE drives if anyone needs them for 64hdd systems. [21:17] my 64HDD is running on a little Libretto. :) [21:17] BTW: How easy is it to overclock a 128? [21:18] just type FAST [21:18] Antares51, easy, plug in a scpu Schema, bahahah [21:18] Good one [21:18] Overclock stock? [21:18] or boot to cpm mode [21:19] SuperCPU can be overclocked, but I don't see the point since there is little software that uses the speed [21:19] * JavaUser (~Javauser@NewNet-A4B338D.dsl.sfldmi.ameritech.net) has joined #c64friends [21:19] * JavaUser is now known as ChrisRyan [21:19] Howdy ChrisRyan [21:19] Hello everyone! [21:19] Hello ChrisRyan. [21:19] Happy New Year! [21:20] Indeed. [21:20] So, what's new in the Commodore world today? [21:20] 64HDD. [21:20] anyone use dotcolo.com ? [21:20] ? [21:20] hmm, never heard of dotcolo [21:21] yeah they must be a fly by night operation [21:21] no website [21:21] The scpu is already oc'ed... stock speed for the cpu in there is 14mhz [21:21] what is the device required to connect a CD-RW drive to a C64? [21:21] PC. [21:22] IDE64 [21:22] CMD HD would work. [21:22] * golan returns from dinner [21:22] or that [21:22] yup, IDE64. [21:22] That's it! Where do you get one of those IDE64's from? [21:22] Mr. Klinger, sir. [21:22] ChrisRyan : check out news.ide64.org new version coming "soon" [21:22] ugh [21:22] haha [21:22] Yea, been reading that. [21:22] "coming soon" [21:22] "sooner or later" [21:23] * weirdwolf goes to look for his 1541ide card [21:23] also, http://www.c64net.com/fotios/ has lots of new hardware for Commodores [21:23] for over a year [21:23] I would like to find a way to back up my c64 stuff on floppies to a CD [21:23] why a CD? do you want to run it from CD? [21:23] ChrisRyan: That's dead easy. [21:23] I use star commander. [21:23] 1541IDE? [21:23] I never had luck with the XE1541 cable and Star Commander. [21:23] or gui4cbm4win [21:23] make d64's [21:24] Warpcopy for the win. Make a D64 in 22 seconds flat. [21:24] Right, D64s! [21:24] I actually need to have someone in person to show me as I still haven't clearly understood the step-by-step process [21:24] Good luck avoiding buffer underruns with the cdrw on c64 ;) [21:25] I suspect we'll be seeing Lord Ronin tonight [21:25] Anyone get the recent (Jan. 2008) Mailink? [21:25] Got star commander running fine on a bootable floppy. [21:26] * Caricon (~Caricoin@6258843C.64D822F7.31DE32BF.IP) Quit (Quit: Caricon) [21:26] anyone know if robertbernardo.com is hosted on a colocated server with eskimo.com ? [21:26] ??? [21:26] Six: Do you have any extra copies of the newsletter? If you do, can you bring them to the meeting this month? [21:26] Last month I bought the older Compute! magazines on ebaY. I now officially own every issue of COMPUTE! magazine from Fall 1979. [21:27] sjones: why does it matter?? [21:27] Oh. Are there electronic versions of the news letters? [21:27] Sweet! [21:27] Just asking, it looks like it possibly could be. [21:27] Anybody want a complete run of Amiga Worlds? [21:27] its like a puzzle you know? detective work is fun. [21:27] Still there are two or three issues of K-Power I seek. [21:27] * Darren0_1a (~Darren@NewNet-6D2EF931.hsd1.md.comcast.net) has joined #c64friends [21:27] ChrisRyan, great! I just remembered, I got a ton of Ahoys from you years ago and now have the complete set. [21:28] Hello Darren [21:28] The winner of one magazine on ebaY last month, I got in touch with online. [21:28] Hello Darren. [21:28] Hello [21:28] HI Schema! That's great! [21:28] sjones: so what have you found? [21:28] Yep! I own all Ahoy! magazines, too [21:28] including the Ahoy AmigaUsers? [21:29] * Antares51 wishes he had more Info64. [21:29] yes, even a couple of those that were included in the original Ahoy run [21:29] Really, Antares? [21:29] I had some Info64 magazines before. Not sure off hand if I still have them [21:29] Worldlam's CMD sale continues. I guess he has to pay off his Wal*Mart card. [21:29] Always enjoyed them. They were in next-door Iowa. [21:30] its registered through a proxy though the IP seems to be registered with Australia, it seems to be hosted in Bellevue WA. [21:30] Odd. [21:30] To tell everyone honestly, I don' [21:30] Strange. [21:30] oops! [21:30] golan: A little too rich for my blood [21:31] I don't think anyone has much of a full and tight magazine collection as I do. No brag here! [21:31] Holy sheep sh't Batman!! [21:31] I'm just trying to determine if its hosted directly with eskimo or if its a colo hosting the site that has a contract with eskimo. [21:31] I enjoy my Compute! Gazette mags. Drive 50 miles to get them. [21:31] $725 for a CMD HD-40???? [21:31] Through a buyer online, we traded some PDF scans of K-Power magazine to help fill in each of our collections [21:31] Wow! 50 miles, eh? [21:32] wow.. thats a lot for a CMD HD-40. [21:32] I own all of those, too, even the disks! [21:32] sjones: how about 550 for a Ramlink? [21:32] ;0) [21:32] scan them [21:32] Anything great is worth the effort. [21:32] Good lord in heaven above [21:32] and d64 the disks [21:32] I'd register a mauricerandall.com site with a koala outfit for a CMD HD-40. [21:32] sjones: Why do you care? [21:32] its a puzzle golan [21:33] I still have a rare but working February 1989 Ahoy disk, YES! February 1989 [21:33] information wants to be free, you know how it goes. [21:33] it will be pretty easy to figure out who is behind it. [21:33] thats open source zealot talk [21:33] I love a mystery cha-cha-cha. [21:33] yeah.. especially when it could be in my backyard.. or at least across the lake :) [21:34] I wonder if anything positive will come out of this Maurice Randall CMD situation] [21:34] no [21:34] lets quit tlaking about mr [21:34] You're not much of a detective. Took me under 30 seconds to figure it out. [21:34] Unlikely. [21:34] its a ****ing dead horse [21:34] JiffyDOS FTW! [21:34] I want a CMD HD, but good Lord have mercy!!! [21:34] oh so you have it solved golan? [21:34] gl [21:34] Of course. [21:34] Well, here's what I discovered online. He has an ebaY account and I've seen very recent transactions, so why doesn't he take care of us Commodore users [21:34] what did you find? [21:35] do something productive, not rehash the last 3 years of "woe as me, mr has ****ed us" [21:35] * weirdwolf prattles with laughter [21:35] Buying CMD stuff at a reasonable price (+/- 10% of the 'retail' prices) [21:35] Pardon me. [21:35] Buying CMD stuff at a reasonable prices (+/- 10% of the 'retail' prices) is fine. Paying the premiums is silly. [21:36] Unless you're collecting. That's a different matter. [21:36] Zinc microwires. [21:36] Entered QRoom: Petscii [21:36] {Dopple} heya [21:36] golan: No way, proces fluctuate. We will see "reasonable" again. [21:36] * fotograf (~fotograf@NewNet-20DDD8E.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) has joined #c64friends [21:36] {Petscii} hi there [21:36] {Dopple} brb, gotta pee [21:36] Hello Petscii. [21:37] {Petscii} <--- is using a QLink Reloaded connection [21:37] Like 1581s, they were selling for ~$200 a couple monts ago. Now, sub $100 [21:37] redrum: Reasonable is unlikely to happen when demand outstrips supply. The axiom about there always being a bigger idiot also applies. [21:37] {Petscii} does this gateway to the "real" IRC network? [21:37] golan, you said you've got it figure out. So who is behind robertbernardo.com ? [21:37] nope, still getting over $100 for them :) [21:37] Indeed. [21:37] Petscii, you are on IRC! [21:37] sjones: Figure it out for yourself. [21:37] no, you've got the info, disclose. [21:37] * Schema hasn't logged into QLink in ages [21:38] {Petscii} oh neat, I'm using a qlink reloaded disk :) [21:38] Dragos: I just got one for under $100 recently. Was just over $100 with shipping. [21:38] redrum: what was it? [21:38] Not interested in funny. Knowledge about getting 64HDD to run is different. [21:39] Well, $100 even [21:39] http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330197020154 [21:39] Boxed even [21:39] yeah, i saw it, it was filthy [21:39] i wouldnt throw that one at someone.... [21:39] Nope, like new. Had one spot on the front, cleaned easily [21:40] So, who here likes and hates Vista? [21:40] I have it here! Like new [21:40] no, mine are Like new [21:40] {Dopple} Petscii, so am I [21:40] becasue they are [21:40] No yellowing [21:40] I suppose it could be Jonathan Mines [21:40] {Petscii} wow, never thought I would see a Ebay URL in a qlink people connection room :) [21:40] Vista irrelevent! [21:40] F Vista [21:40] {Dopple} Petscii, I think you and I are the only ones on qlink here :) [21:40] Ubuntu [21:40] Six - No idea, not to knowledgable about drive code. [21:41] Six - Which part of Silver did you code? Need to transfer it over and get a real viewing in [21:41] Mandriva. [21:41] Redrumloa, hate it? [21:41] Is that you Jeff Ledger? [21:41] {Petscii} cool, do many people use ql reloaded? [21:41] petscii [21:42] not many use qlr [21:42] {Dopple} Theres a few of us that use it [21:42] {Petscii} nope, Rick her from Ne Hampshire [21:42] Jeff Ledger == Oldbit. [21:42] ChrisRyan: It looks terrible to me, I refuse to install it. [21:42] I've used reloaded three times. [21:42] Entered QRoom: Schema64 [21:42] ChrisRyan: I know plenty of people who got it and have nightmare problems [21:42] {Schema64} Hooray!

It's alright but still have small incompatibilities with it, so I depend on my XP machine more often [21:43] Vista=ME II. [21:43] {Dopple} ok, now there's 3 [21:43] {Petscii} its kinda neat, I'm sitting here, running ql in a VICE emulator, connecting via tcpip [21:43] * ShadowM (~shadow@NewNet-9DDE2363.dsl.milwwi.ameritech.net) has left #c64friends [21:43] bbl [21:43] Vista has its limits with programs I use, so I prefer XP [21:43] {Petscii} runnin on a AMD64, which could probably run the entire QL system in the "old days" :) [21:43] {Dopple} Petscii, I'm on a SX64 [21:43] though I like the speed of Vista better [21:44] {Petscii} if I had som real hardware I would run it on a real '64 :) [21:44] {Schema64} I;m on a real 64 here [21:44] Speed? What speed? [21:44] Sticking with XP for now, no real need to "upgrade" to Vista ... [21:44] {Dopple} real hardware is easy to come by [21:44] {Schema64} and I have no idea where the keys are anymore :-) [21:44] {Dopple} Moloch, u mean downgrade [21:44] Well, now my Vista PC takes a REAL LONG TIME to shut down [21:44] {Petscii} i know, and as soon as Ican get some time I will :) [21:45] {Petscii} dopple: no, Vista -> XP is an upgrade :) [21:45] My 4000 is faster than Vista on my Athlon 64 X2 5200. [21:45] {Dopple} Oh, I bought some keyboard stickers for pc keyboards to change them to c64 characters [21:45] I wasn't having that problem before, so I do not know what the cause is. I have no virus software installed. [21:45] Thanks for correcting me Golan. [21:45] in the United States it is a federal crime to anonymously "annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person" via the internet or telecommunication system, punishable by a fine and/or up to two years imprisonment.[ [21:45] Dopple - Well, "upgrade" is basically the same thing in my book, it's sarcasm ;) [21:45] {Dopple} :) [21:46] So now you're a lawyer and a detective. What's next, astronaut and President of the United States of America?

[21:52] {Schema64} I'm curious to see how high the number will go. [21:52] so, any UPDATE on Roger Long's Commodore list? [21:52] It is better to light a candle than to sit and curse the darkness. Also, it is wise to light a match after you make poopies.
