[21:52] _brain_, I'm gonna have to have some words with Silver Circuits. So far 4 of the boards have defects in this last order. [21:52] So, is MossyCon a go or not? [21:53] MossyCon 4 is a go. Just needed the spoectrum of dates from you. Now I can go to the Library and find out what is open for us. [21:54] Yeah, you have to do that as soon as possible, Dave. [21:54] LR did you getted the root fix on the store [21:54] <_brain_> Dopple, they will take all the boards back if you have not used them [21:54] for those of you who dont know.. The C4 BBS is back online..... cincy.ath.cx:23 [21:54] Jim: I got an XE/XM1541 cable and tried to run 64HDD with only partial success. [21:55] All I needed was the date framework when you would be free to attend. [21:55] Will you have a date locked in by next week? [21:56] BeeMan no the roof on the house still has a tarp on it. But the inspector said in a bout 2 weeks they would begin work. Weather permitting. Been icy around here. After that then the ceiling can be fixed and all the computer stuff unpacked and back in the room. [21:56] I also was given two Amiga 4000 toasters. [21:56] _brain_, well, I've already used about 8 of them so far. I don't wanna send them all back, but I am going to inspect the rest before soldering up more. Kinda hoping they'll just replace the defective ones. I did a batch of 96 this time (48 of each). [21:56] RobertB should have. Will be going to town on monday for the exercise walk. Stop in at the library and find out the current situation [21:56] lr: there is a huge amount of ice here in Portland. So your going to see more of that thenext week or so. [21:56] Do you have to pay for the room, LR? [21:57] You are fortunate to get the A4000 Toasters, Antares. [21:58] Carpark here is icy. Got heat in the shop for A500. [21:58] * ShadowM (~user@NewNet-15966258.dsl.milwwi.ameritech.net) has left #c64friends [21:58] Pushing around 40 atm. [21:58] Wear your spiked sole shoes for the ice, LR. :-) [21:59] Dave: focus on Robert. He'd like some answers to mossycon [21:59] RobertB last time we used the room. Around 1995ce it was $5 for the room and some rules. Guess if that is the same. Kitty Box cake will be in the shop for afters. [21:59] or mossycommietaughtus. [22:00] #8 will take Roberts span of dates and preferences in hand for the library trip on Monday. Set things up at that time. Or know the reason why not. [22:00] Will post the results on our list. [22:00] ok, sounds good to me [22:01] It would be good to call the library first and find out the current room rental prices. [22:01] * Commodore (tristar@NewNet-5BE0EEC5.silenceisdefeat.org) has joined #c64friends [22:01] True, but that requires me to use that evil ringing thing. [22:01] * Commodore (tristar@NewNet-5BE0EEC5.silenceisdefeat.org) Quit (Quit: Commodore) [22:01] Hoi Commodore [22:01] $5 in 1995 is probably a lot more than in 2008. [22:01] How about lookingon the web like I am doing right now? [22:01] Then let someone else use the evil ringing thing. [22:01] http://www.youseemore.com/Astoria/readyref.asp [22:02] Think so with all the budget cuts to things like libraries. [22:02] Do I hear #8 opting to give them a check online? {EG} [22:03] Checking that out at the moment [22:03] Easy as google. [22:03] Same as what robert could have done.

[22:31] I hate May 87 and a newer modified one that allowed even a 2MB reu [22:31] Not afaik [22:31] hate=have [22:31] Some folks altered their RamLink for I think it was Desterm [22:31] Do you have the RAMLink switches right? [22:32] yes [22:32] Hmm, that's interesting. I wonder how the RL was altered. [22:32] I use Desterm 2.01 on the RL and it works fine. [22:32] At one point CMD would to the alteration if requested [22:32] I didn't know that. [22:32] I think that was the prg that it was for... [22:33] those dates sound good to me #8. I don't see them conflicting with the meeting night on the third thursday. Thoug I may have to leave at 8pm for the game on some nights. [22:33] The only other thing I wonder is if the C128 power supply is being stressed? [22:33] maybe I should install a voltage monitor [22:34] Is the REU in the passthru or the REU slot? [22:34] passthrough [22:34] Has anyone every tried this in practice? [22:35] Would be nice to know if it is just me [22:35] I tried a CLD Clone and a C= 1750 [22:35] Everything else seems to be working cherry [22:35] Only when I try to load CP/M [22:36] No, I've never tried that. [22:36] Ok, Robert and LR, the dates are set on the list. There will be a reminder sent a week ahead and 24 hours before the event. [22:36] Great work #8!!! [22:36] I also added an e-mail and about to send to the list. [22:36] When I get home tomorrow, I can try it out. [22:36] No LR, you all ready had it fixed. [22:36] What I didn't smeg something up??? [22:37] Nope. [22:37] I just added one more repeating day [22:37] and I checked several months ahead [22:37] 1 first monday repeating. [22:38] What is it about Desterm and Ramlink that needed a mod? [22:38] * Hellion_1 (~Hellion_1@NewNet-140CA180.unk.tds.net) Quit (Quit: ) [22:40] redrumloa, do you have a hd connected via the ramlink? [22:40] Snog: Nope, i wish [22:40] I do. [22:40] OK, just checking, that was a gotcha in CPM, couldn't do that [22:41] Ok, good to know [22:41] Had to turn the feature off first [22:41] Turn off the feature? How? [22:42] @PO [22:42] Hmm. I'll try it. [22:42] anyone know the Desterm and RAMLink issue? [22:43] I'm looking for that reference, Eddiie [22:44] * Cichlid (IceChat7@NewNet-31AF875.fuse.net) has joined #c64friends [22:44] Hi, Cichlid. [22:44] thanks [22:44] hey [22:45] Hoi Cichild [22:45] I am starting to think CP/M simply does not like the RamLink [22:46] Which would suck [22:46] * Cichlid (IceChat7@NewNet-31AF875.fuse.net) has left #c64friends [22:47] I already knew I had to disable the SuperCPU, but I also ave to diasble the RamLink it seems and I cannot have a REU plugged in the passthrough [22:48] If that is the case I may abandon CP/M on the 128 and just use my Televideo for CP/M [22:48] sucks [22:48] What happens if you put the REU in the REU slot? [22:48] but before you do that.... [22:49] Make sure you have your Ramlink backed up. as your partion tables will change [22:49] Same thing for CP/M, in the C= side it is availabe as ram disk [22:49] My ramdisk isn't set up now, no prob [22:49] * DragosMac (~Dragos-Ma@NewNet-4FAD8A37.dsl.ipltin.sbcglobal.net) has joined #c64friends [22:50] I did not allocate my REU on my ramlink, and some software would automatically allocate and use it, like Maverick [22:51] You have Maverick working with the RL? My Maverick does not want anything in the expansion port. [22:51] If someone gets the chance to try CP/M with a ramlink/SCPU setup, let me know [22:51] Except for a regular ram expander. [22:51] {Snogpitch} It is possible the SCPU isn't liking CPM.. [22:51] Hoi DragosMac [22:52] You can't use SCPU w/CPM [22:52] Snog: It is diabled via switch [22:52] Rightnow if I disable switch both SCPU and RamLink, with no reu in the passthrough, it works [22:53] * lordronin sets mode: +v Eddiie [22:53] * lordronin sets mode: +v JoeCommodore [22:54] hmmmm [22:55] More testing, I think it is a power supply issue, not handling the power [22:55] I took out the scpu and only used the ramlink with reu, so far so good.. [22:56] Game time, so must split till next week. [22:56] * lordronin (~lordronin@7A1E55C2.68A28F0F.E153056D.IP) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [22:56] Yeah, I am thinking power supply [22:56] Working better but no banana [22:57] But why ok in C= native.. [22:57] hmm [22:58] What are the power ratings on your p.s.? [22:59] * Eddiie (~Eddie@NewNet-1748CDBF.hsd1.nj.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [23:00] Standard 128, 1 sec [23:00] There were 2 standard p.s.'s for the C128 - both with different ratings. [23:00] OK, the issue with RamLink and REU is when you also have a SwiftLink attached [23:00] 9V @1A, 5V @4.3A [23:01] Ah, the higher rated one. [23:02] Well, if the p.s. drops below 4.95 volts, that won't be enough for the SCPU to work correctly. [23:05] * Cichlid (IceChat7@NewNet-31AF875.fuse.net) has joined #c64friends [23:06] * Cichlid (IceChat7@NewNet-31AF875.fuse.net) Quit (Quit: A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well) [23:06] Re-hi, Cichlid. [23:06] Hmm [23:06] I wonder if a 2+1 expander would work before the SCPU [23:07] Why would you do that, redrum? [23:08] I don;t want to unplug the SCPU/RamLink to plug in a REU every time I use CP/M [23:08] Not good on the connectors [23:08] Oh, I see. [23:09] _brain_, 14 out of 48 Link boards defective :/ [23:10] Boing! Is that your latest shipment of equipment, Jay? [23:10] * weirdwolf (~weirdwolf@NewNet-6070B9C0.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has left #c64friends (Leaving) [23:10] * MikeAZ1 (~chatzilla@NewNet-1D907063.hsd1.nj.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.80 [Firefox 2.0.0.11/2007112718]) [23:10] RobertB, yea. [23:10] RobertB, i'm staring at the EZ232 boards now, looking for defects. [23:10] They're pretty easy to spot. [23:10] Not a good record for the manufacturing facility you are using. [23:11] _brain_, how's yer luck been with them? [23:11] RobertB, the last batch was much better, not sure what's up with this one. [23:11] <_brain_> That's a bad error rate, Dopple. [23:11] * weirdwolf (~weirdwolf@NewNet-8C21B3DB.hsd1.or.comcast.net) has joined #c64friends [23:11] How many defective ones did you have in the last batch, Jay? [23:12] _brain_, that's what i figured. [23:12] <_brain_> Hmm, I have had good luck with them in the past, though I have some defects (I never check them after I receive them, too itchy to start soldering). Still, they seem to be willing to address issues, so I would email and see what develops before getting worried. [23:12] RobertB, that I know was absolutely the board's fault... 1. had a couple issues witih others, but that may have been an "oops" with soldering with no solder mask [23:13] <_brain_> They've been very accomodating on my board designs and such, so I would hope they are as accomodating on the defects. [23:13] _brain_, that guy must be up all the time, responded to my email i sent tonite, said to let him know the total number of defects [23:13] <_brain_> Still, I'm interested in what happens. I am almost ready to make a production C=Key board order, and I don't have time for defects. [23:14] <_brain_> Dopple, I know :-) In fact, if you send an email with some pics now, I suspect you'll have an answer in a few hours. [23:14] my eyes are getting buggy staring at dark and light green... i think the mask helps the contrast [23:15] The EZ's are looking very good tho. only had 1 bad via so far, and i'm not even worried about that, easy to fix with a resistor lead. [23:15] <_brain_> If they don't work out, I have another board house in IL that does good work at reasonable rates. They don't do prototypes at a good rate, though, which is why I don't use them all the time. [23:15] damn, found another one :/ [23:16] one of the 4.7K resistor pads shorted to ground [23:17] well, if that other place is reasonable for doing quantities of 50+, then I'll check it out [23:18] What other place is that, Jay? [23:18] RobertB, dunno yet... :) [23:18] <_brain_> What was your per board price for the EZ and T232 boards? [23:19] O.K., what is the name of your current manufacturing place? [23:19] <_brain_> I'll have to look the other firm's info up... Email me if you need it. [23:19] _brain_, just under $4.50 ea [23:20] <_brain_> Well, keep me posted [23:20] yip [23:20] i see how these projects eat up time now :) [23:20] <_brain_> Most definitely. [23:21] _brain_, gonna make it to C4 this year? [23:21] <_brain_> Yep. [23:21] great [23:22] * Ramswell (~ramswell@NewNet-FF86DE6E.dsl.lsan03.sbcglobal.net) has joined #c64friends [23:23] HELLO DOPPLE! :) [23:23] <_brain_> Got pics of the boards for me yet, Ramswell? [23:23] Hi, Charles. [23:23] i wish i could get my dad to go, I'm nudging him to setup his C128 system again. [23:23] Hey Charles [23:23] {Snogpitch} Howdy Ramswell [23:23] Almost. I just got the diodes removed and am halfway from taking the ROM apart. Gotta go to Radio Shack and get more braid. [23:24] Heyya RED. How ya doing? [23:24] all this staring is making me thirsty, brb [23:24] Ramswell: Pretty good, you? [23:25] I was just taking a break to check my email while watching "PIGS" and noticed an amail from Robert B telling me about the caht (GOD I KEEP FORGETTING). lolol [23:25] email [23:25] Pigs? [23:25] chat [23:25] COPS [23:25] ;) [23:25] How are all you tonight? [23:25] Ah, Fuzz. ;-) [23:26] I came back from attending a memorial service for a former FCUG member. [23:26] So, Ramswell, you still looking for that keycap? [23:27] As a matter of fact, YES. The bottom plastic piece is broken off which tore off the top causing it to fall of. and I lost the key. By the way, sorry about the loss Robert. ;( [23:27] He was a good club member but had to bow out due to health. [23:28] all this computer hacking is making me thirsty [23:28] Well from what you told us last week, he lived a FULL LIFE and lived it to the best of his ability, so good for him. I hope I can go out like tha. [23:28] Amen to that, Charles. [23:29] Which key you needed? [23:29] Well really, when it all comes down to it, that's all we leave behind, A LEGACY, right? [23:29] The Left arrow key (escape). for the 64C (the white one). [23:29] Right. How others will remember us. [23:30] precisely. [23:30] The one above the ctrl? [23:30] Yep and left of the #1 [23:30] I've got a key, but not the bottom part [23:31] I've got some caps, and springs [23:31] I need the key and the plastic push rod contact. I think I have a spring already [23:31] Well I'll take what I can get. [23:31] oops, wait a minute, this one is the up... hang on let me look again... [23:32] Seems to me that the 64C, the VIC-20, and the 64 breadboard ALL use the same bottoms so I should have no problem finding that part elsewhere. [23:32] Well, you could always contact Ray Carlsen, Charles. [23:33] Ray is the F1X0R of Everything! [23:33] he reminds me of me... can't throw anything out, will either fix it, or "save it for parts" [23:33] yeah I can ask him. After I sent him a bunch of stuff for Christmas he old me to ask him for anything I desitred and he would see what he could do for me. [23:33] Heh, he couldn't save one of my badly-corroded PET 4032's. Parts for it just aren't around. [23:34] No matter... he got one of the other 4032's working. [23:34] OK found the <- [23:34] COOL. :) [23:35] Oh, yeah, Charles. I will be up to Ray's place during Spring Break. [23:35] First one I had I noticed the pi on one side...so that was the wrong one [23:35] Then pick up an IEE drive for me and a few miscellaneous keys for me. [23:35] IEEE [23:36] Just let Ray know beforehand that I will pick up your stuff. [23:36] Will do. Just remind me of when you are going so I can contact him and let him know. [23:36] and if by the time of C=4 if you still need one, I'll bring it with me [23:37] Well, Easter Break is from March 15-23. [23:37] should be able to find space for that... [23:37] Ahh yes, GIRLS GONE WILD! [23:37] lololol [23:37] Boing! [23:38] * sjones (sjones@NewNet-9DD8C977.com) has joined #c64friends [23:38] Sounds like a plan. [23:38] Howdy sjones [23:38] Hi, Stephen. [23:38] hey Jones. [23:38] Hello MossyCon IV. [23:38] What are you watching on t.v., Charles? [23:38] greetings robert. [23:39] Cross your fingers, Steve. Lord Ronin says that he will have a firm date for MossyCon 4 by next week. [23:40] excellent. [23:40] PIGS. [23:40] Ah, you mean you saw a commercial for GGW, Charles. [23:40] hey just beat up a poor black kid and threw him in the car after planting drugs on him. :(:(:(:( SAD. [23:40] Ramswell, if you do make it to C=4, you driving or flying this way? [23:41] Roger wanted to know if you were wanting a sale table? [23:42] rbt, is the idea of one day (a saturday) in the library with the candlestick used by professor peacock a plan? [23:42] As of this point looks like I can't make it AT ALL less finances or travel plans can be made accordingly. [23:42] yes, all arrests are plants by the "pigs" [23:42] Don't know, Steve. Depends on what LR arranges. [23:42] poor drug dealera [23:42] That would be LOVELY! [23:42] hopefully so. how is his lair? [23:43] I've heard that it is in shambles but the roofers will be there soon. [23:43] I bet the black dude planted the drugs on the cops, to plan on him [23:44] <_brain_> Ramswell, how are you doing on pics of those boards? [23:44] I am hoping to make it in the future at some point as I also want to stop by and visit my Father and a reverend friend of mine while there. [23:44] hopefully its the library... did he already take off for his adventure tonight? [23:44] I gotta take out 2 diodes, and the two chips, that's it. Then I will take the pics and upload them to your email. ;) [23:45] <_brain_> k [23:45] Yes, he is off with the gamers. [23:45] Thanks for the help BTW! [23:47] I gotta go then and check my email as I am awaiting an email from Brice Gottelieb regarding the numbers on the zener diodes that I can't read. [23:48] Bye, Charles. [23:48] This way I can match them up with the Jameco part numbers and begin to get the ball rolling for the Warp Cart. ;) [23:48] Take care everybody! [23:48] see ya Charles [23:48] :) [23:48] * Ramswell (~ramswell@NewNet-FF86DE6E.dsl.lsan03.sbcglobal.net) has left #c64friends [23:49] brain, what board are you talking about? [23:50] <_brain_> Ramswell wants to make a Warpspeed cart [23:50] * Disconnected Session Close: Sat Jan 26 23:51:01 2008
