Session Start: Sat Feb 23 20:59:00 2008 Session Ident: #c64friends [20:59] * Now talking in #c64friends [20:59] * Topic is 'We Adore Our C64 == and Q-Link!!' [20:59] * Set by Snogpitch on Mon Oct 01 10:31:36 [20:59] Howdy folks [20:59] hey ya Snogs [20:59] snog [20:59] Evening Mr. Witmer, sir. [20:59] Hello Snogpitch [20:59] was something up with this channel? [21:00] i had an PM saying something about Invite only. [21:00] i dunno how old it is tho. [21:00] dracosilv: Yes, cat fight [21:01] cat fight? [21:01] * Retrieving #c64friends modes... [21:01] betwixt whom? [21:01] eBay catfight between Dragos (channel moderator) and Info-Seeker [21:01] I'm not getting into it further for fear I will be kick banned ;-) [21:02] Yeah dont piss off dragos.. [21:04] Lets not blow things out of proportion. I might also add that there were several of us ops here at the time. [21:04] s'ok [21:04] just wondering [21:04] a guy going by the name of 'Cichlid' had asked who knows when... [21:05] Cichlid is a member of CCCC [21:05] Don't know; don't care. [21:05] runs the BBS [21:06] Does anybody know where I might get one of those 128 video cables that goes from the 80 column port to S-video and provides monochrome 80 column video? [21:07] BBS? Talking about my C-Net BBS @ www.innercirclebbs.com port 64000 (64k!) ;) [21:07] golan, the only ones I've seen are homebrew [21:07] Now that both my 1084s are fritzed I figure I should get one for the few times a year that I need to do 80 columns. [21:07] I've got two, both are different [21:07] Snogs: There was a bloke on eBay selling them (nkc, I think) but he doesn't seem to have them anymore. Maybe someone has one they don't need? :) [21:07] One I use at C=4 Expo use with the 128 [21:08] golan: Ask Marygleer. I got one from here for free and she sold another for $0.99 [21:08] For me, 80 columns is a mode I don't often need and when I do it's for productivity so I don't much mind monochrome. [21:08] It's pretty nice, it has a switch for 40 column and 80 column on the same cable [21:08] Snog: It plugs into both the VIC and VDC ports? [21:08] golan: Or make your own, I've done it before [21:08] yes [21:09] i believe CCCC sells them i think... (the cables) [21:09] i dunno tho.. [21:09] How interesting. A single cable with a switch. I like that. [21:09] If you plan to show up at C=4, take a look at it [21:09] should be easy enough to construct [21:09] I got it in a collection of stuff I bought [21:09] Left QRoom: MikeAZ1 [21:09] * Q-Link (~qlink@NewNet-F9F35691.ltshosting.net) has left #c64friends (Try QuantumLink RELOADED!) [21:10] * Q-Link (~qlink@NewNet-F9F35691.ltshosting.net) has joined #c64friends [21:10] Entered QRoom: Snogpitch [21:10] I can make my own but my work is poor. I prefer the professional looking cables that others make. :) [21:11] I've yet to make a cable that didn't include duct tape. Not impressive. [21:11] {Snogpitch} Looks like when MikeAZ1 left, that made me the only one on Q [21:11] Hey Snogpitch, you gonna have more stuff to move? [21:11] For C4 I mean [21:11] Ya, we are going to have a haul again... [21:12] cool [21:13] Not sure how much of it will actually make it to C=4. [21:13] We'll I'll help if needed :) [21:14] OK. [21:14] I'll be there 2 days early so I can help [21:14] Hey Pell [21:14] really? good to know, Hellion might need the help, stuff is going to be at his place [21:15] Ok, called the cops and left a message for animal control. [21:16] wha? [21:16] What happened with animal control? [21:16] Everything alright, Caricon? [21:16] Hey Steph [21:16] Caricon: Did you see the calculator on eBay? I mention it in case you don't have that model. [21:16] There was an opossum climbing the tree outside to the roof. Just went outside and there is now a hole in the side of my roof and he's living in there. [21:17] That there is some good eatin'. [21:17] heh [21:17] Hey Pell I hate to bust your chops but would I be a bit out of your way? [21:17] He's up in the attic right now living there. No wonder I've been going thru a lot of cat food outside. [21:18] Where you at again Steph? [21:18] Cats? Also good eatin'. [21:18] golan, no didn't see it. [21:18] I'm missing a cat too. [21:18] NC [21:18] but he could just have run away. [21:19] ya, Cat probably thought it was a big mouse [21:19] * golan burps [21:19] Caricon: It was http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160211770089 [21:19] * Hershey (~Javauser@NewNet-F6F2C2ED.dynamic.mts.net) Quit (Quit: Leaving) [21:19] Steph I'll see what I can do. Chris is coming down again too and I dont' know if I'm picking him up or not yet [21:20] also have another buddy coming from VA [21:20] Now that I look I see there are a few C= calculators up right now. Hrm. [21:20] This will be the 2nd opossum we have had around. First one was in the garage, we caught that one. [21:20] ok ok [21:20] * Hershey (~Javauser@NewNet-F6F2C2ED.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #c64friends [21:20] Howdy Hershey [21:20] But we can definately try to do a Steph rescue run :) [21:20] Isn't tested or anything, I'll pass. [21:21] Hello Snogpitch [21:21] I spent my C= money this week anyway. [21:22] btw, talked with Dale Sidebottom this week...he's coming to C=4 this year again [21:22] I need to reserve my hotel tomorrow\ [21:22] Wonder if I can claim the damage on insurance? [21:22] Steph make sure you call them and not use the website [21:22] kk I will [21:23] several folks from LUCKI should make it in tow as well. [21:23] Hey if you come get me I'll take you to a cool Italian place to eat :) [21:23] At the hotel, what's the show listed under? So I can get the rate. Took them a while last time to find it. [21:23] Commodore Computer Club or C=4 Expo [21:24] ok. I took that week off work so I don't have to worry about going back Sunday and then going right to work. [21:24] Caricon when you call ask for Michelle in reservations. She knew all the details about that weekend [21:25] <_Fungus_> Pell [21:25] ok, thanks. [21:25] okay guys... if you have a 6502 processor... can you underclock the processor (e.g. run it slower than it's maximum speed?) [21:25] * lordronin (~lordronin@7A1E55C2.68A28F0F.E153056D.IP) has joined #c64friends [21:25] * ChanServ sets mode: +o lordronin [21:25] Hoi Gang! [21:25] LR!

[21:28] LR: Not yet, though I plan on playing with Geos including GeoDos more in the future [21:28] They want to see about putting all the old newsletters online. [21:28] I've used geoDos but not in a long time [21:29] Hoi redrumloa, OK tis sa great prg, just no printed material. I was doing some formatting of heretic formatted 1.44mb disks with it on the FD. Working on an idea for file transfere. [21:30] There isn't a photo in Feb's issue of a C65.... [21:30] Ig the formatting works for the 3 1/2" drive in the linux thing, and I csan figure out how to get the system to see that there is a 3 1/2" drive connected. [21:30] OK what is that pic then on the back page??? [21:31] Not a bread box, is it a B128? [21:31] B series I think... [21:31] <_Fungus_> dracosilv: yeah you can underclock a 6502 [21:31] <_Fungus_> LR [21:31] Haven't seen the pix of the set yet. We have that poster, but not unwrapped it yet, till we can safford a full lamination. [21:31] <_Fungus_> dracosilv: just look for the spec sheet [21:32] Hoi _Fungus_ [21:32] <_Fungus_> I think they go down to 500khz or sth [21:32] * Balzabaar (~balzabaar@NewNet-836DEBB6.lsanca.dsl-w.verizon.net) has joined #c64friends [21:32] BTW Fungus, this months club disk featured a couple Nostalgia releases. [21:32] Hoi Balzabaar [21:32] Howdy Balzabaar [21:33] Hey Balzabaar [21:33] There are English docs for geoDOS [21:33] What's that one cartridge that you can slow down games. Does that do something to the clock speed? Or just do something with the software... [21:33] Hello. :) [21:33] Balzabaar, can you send me some specific data on the new BBS? I will insert it into this upcoming newsletter. [21:33] I got off work early today, so for a change, I was able to make it here. :) [21:33] Hello Balzabaar. [21:33] Yeah that was what I was afraid of, been using the word balloons. And praying {G} [21:34] No problem, LR... And I may still get a dial-up one going, too... [21:34] http://members.shaw.ca/cue64/geodos.html [21:34] Eddie and I are working on some hardware issues fro mine at the moment. Not giving up. Too stubborn of a gemini fro that {G} [21:34] Going there now Snogpitch [21:35] btw, if you have a SCPU hooked up to the system when you are running geoDOS, it's easier to toggle settings using 1mhz mode.... [21:35] Anyone need/want gateWay 64 and/or 128? [21:37] * dunric (~Javauser@NewNet-DC397619.ph.ph.cox.net) has joined #c64friends [21:37] Bookmarked it for the future in DLing. Yeah I have the SCPU set up and running when I was doing the most recent tasks. [21:37] hey all [21:37] Hoi Dunric [21:37] hey lord [21:37] Howdy dunric [21:37] hey snog, been awhile [21:37] golan always want C= things {Greedy GRin} [21:37] lord: I used to have a Commodore 16 [21:37] Evening, dunric. How you'd make up with the listing I converted for you? [21:38] Opened it up and the motherboard was about half the size of the case [21:38] If you want me to show you how to use petcat, let me know. It's quite easy. [21:38] still hve one in the box in the shed with that tutor cart dunric [21:38] golan: great...I posted it online. Thanks [21:38] ok [21:38] Dunric! [21:38] hey ant [21:38] Long time... [21:38] lord: that tutor cart is hilarious [21:38] yup been awhile [21:38] * JoeCommodore (~joec@NewNet-A8F08E23.goldrush.com) has joined #c64friends [21:39] hey joe [21:39] Howdy JoeCommodore [21:39] Hello Mr. Anderson, sir. [21:39] Hi everybody [21:39] so what happened with all that maurice stuff? [21:39] Hoi Joe [21:39] Oh, Oh! [21:39] people seem unhappy with the service [21:39] Never made it all the way through that cart. Or much of anything with the plus/4. [21:40] lord: My plus/4 was somewhat bonkers [21:40] Oh, oh is right. Plus 9 armour out now. [21:40] I'd have to like, use a ouiji board or cast out demons just to get it to turn on [21:40] Took 2 sets to get mine working. Took 5 C-16s to make one work. [21:40] * redrumloa is now known as redrumAFK [21:41] never understood why the C-16 was released [21:41] Nah you need a big bowl of silica and the proper inscens in it for the worship alter {G} [21:41] seems like a plus/4 reduced to essentially nothing [21:41] Well a story, and that is probably all that it realy is, came to me from an older member years back. He sid it was released because the 64 was too pwerful for the average beginning user. [21:41] The case is nice for modding. :) [21:42] lord: for real? They had 64K CP/M machines in the late 70s...how could it be too powerful? [21:42] Gateway is available for download, btw, along with the source code [21:42] I got some plau/4 4 stucff back in the day, a bunch of carts and a couple games/utility disks [21:42] Plus/4 kille off interest for many users. I have had the "fun" of showing people a real breadbox. They thought that the plus/4 was the only model, when they bought the computer. [21:42] joe: what games? [21:42] * destined (~weirdwolf@NewNet-1C2436E0.hsd1.or.comcast.net) has joined #c64friends [21:43] Howdy destined [21:43] balbazaar, Fungus, Wildstar, Moloch [21:43] lord: got to admit, though, that the plus/4 has a cool design [21:43] Snogptich and the rest. [21:43] hey destined [21:43] Hoi destined [21:43] WW [21:43] Nothing too great on NTSC, mostly public doemain stuff (will have to look for them) I got 6 1581s of PAL plus/4 games, I gave those to rober, some are cool, like one that plays like Star Raiders. [21:43] Hello, Destined. :) [21:43] 6 1581s? [21:44] the 3.5 disk drive? [21:44] bal: you know me as Weirdwolf [21:44] So people make sure they know me. [21:44] Yep lots of programs from a BBS user from England [21:44] Think me means 6 1581 disks full. [21:44] wow [21:44] ahok [21:44] er, ah ok [21:45] Yeah dunric that is the real story that I heard from one of the founding members of this local group. Have to know the mind set of the people of that time period. In order to understand feelings towards computers in the home. [21:45] I was going through some of them last CommVEx [21:45] Hello, JoeCommodore... I didn't see you there. ;) [21:45] lord: I read a good book called The Home Computer Wars by Mike Tomczyk [21:45] Joe can you make copies of them? I have a member that loves to do PAL-NTSC fixes. [21:45] talked about people using VICs well into 1984 [21:46] * dunric (~Javauser@NewNet-DC397619.ph.ph.cox.net) Quit (Quit: ) [21:46] I gave them to Robert, I'm sure he'll run copies if you ask. [21:46] Heard of that book dunric. Not sen a copy. Plowing throught the On the Edge one off and on. [21:46] I'll ask him, thanks. Have an FD and a 1581 in the shop so copy wirk is fast. [21:47] I have The Home Computer Wars in electronic form if anyone is interested. It's out of print and tends to sell for small fortunes when copies pop up. [21:47] You can find the text to home computer wars on-line somewhere... [21:48] Destined: Yes, Jeremey, I know who you are. ;) [21:48] golan I'd be interested [21:48] how big is it? [21:48] looking for it... [21:48] * dunric (~Javauser@NewNet-DC397619.ph.ph.cox.net) has joined #c64friends [21:49] So then back to GeoDos. Has anyone made a disk for the heretic format and used it on that system? [21:49] heretic format? [21:49] IBM? [21:49] <_Fungus_> lr: oh yeah? which ones [21:49] <_Fungus_> any of the new ones? [21:49] <_Fungus_> :) [21:50] connection problems...might need to log off again [21:50] I'll have it for you in a moment, LR. [21:50] I've used it to read ibm format disks, never used it to format using ibm format tho [21:50] * dunric (~Javauser@NewNet-DC397619.ph.ph.cox.net) Quit (Quit: ) [21:50] * Cichlid (~IceChat7@NewNet-60EDA00C.fuse.net) has joined #c64friends [21:50] Howdy Cichlid [21:50] Hoi Cichild [21:50] <_Fungus_> lr: however I have gone to the dark side, I no longer c64 :) [21:50] * Schema (~spam@810C7EC6.7EB95B52.84E6236E.IP) has joined #c64friends [21:50] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Schema [21:51] evening [21:51] Evening Cichlid. [21:51] Hoi Schema [21:51] Evening Leif. [21:51] Appreciated landzman [21:51] I run Amiga. [21:52] Whuzzup, Schemer? [21:52] golan, how big is that file? [21:52] Snogpitch, yeah that is what I have used it for in the past. Member would bring me files, but on heretic formatted disks. I would grab them with GeoDos. [21:52] Fungus is a vile and evil heretic to the C= faith [21:52] * dslman2 (~pirc@NewNet-9D2D7399.dsl.stlsmo.sbcglobal.net) has joined #c64friends [21:52] I have the text version and a scanned version on my HD, zipped the text is 237k and the other is 1.7MB. [21:53] for the most part, I use WCOPY now for transferring files. [21:53] Howdy dslman2 [21:53] hey [21:53] Entered QRoom: Balzabaar [21:53] winning 2 items on ebay so far [21:53] Antares51 If we can't get that CD drive to bee seen on my 1200, I will run over Amiga. [21:53] {Balzabaar} Hey... this is more like it... ;) [21:53] Hoi dslman2 [21:53] Caricon: Home Computer Wars is 2.4MB (compressed). [21:53] the install disks for the lt.kernal [21:53] You want a copy? [21:53] and a cmd ramlink [21:53] yes please. [21:54] All I see is what files I have maybe that's a different scan/ [21:54] Do we dare ask the price on that RL [21:54] {Balzabaar} Hey DSLMAN... You never called my BBS back, so you never got the answer to the question you... [21:54] {Balzabaar} ...asked me about the Lt Kernal. [21:54] Anyone that wants an elecronic copy of The Home Computers Wars, send me a private message please. [21:54] hey it,s you [21:54] {Balzabaar} Basically, what I told you was that without the LTK Host Adapter, the drive you got on eBay is... [21:54] {Balzabaar} ...worthless. [21:54] hey all [21:54] I'd post the link to the channel but I'm sure someone would download it, put it on their website and then take credit for it. [21:54] "it,s him!" [21:55] dsl here is a link to the xetec ltk files [21:55] http://www.floodgap.com/retrobits/ckb/ltk/links.htm [21:55] that,s just the website that tells about the lt.kernal [21:56] there is no downloads to the install sysgen disks for lt.kernal [21:56] all the files are there too [21:56] {Balzabaar} Golan: I don't put anything on my website that is readily available elsewhere... [21:56] where exactly [21:56] {Balzabaar} DSLMAN: The SysGen disks are there. [21:56] right there -> [21:56] I know I saw an eBay auction today that had the manuals and disks for it. [21:57] there is i,m winning the bid on that [21:57] not for long ;) [21:57] Balzabaar: Why are you adderssing your comments to me? Did I say anything to you? [21:57] * fotograf (~fotograf@NewNet-20DDD8E.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) has joined #c64friends [21:57] yea, I know I was looking thru auctions and remember seeing it. [21:57] Hey, fotograf. [21:57] Howdy fotograf [21:57] Hey hang. How goes it? [21:57] {Balzabaar} On the Lt Kernal website, click on the "files" link, and you'll find the SysGen disk about... [21:57] Golan and Snog! Long time gents. How you doin'? [21:58] {Balzabaar} ...halfway down that page.

Call it intuition [21:59] {Balzabaar} ;P [21:59] Balzabaar: Looks more like a guilty conscience from here. [22:00] * Cichlid (~IceChat7@NewNet-60EDA00C.fuse.net) Quit (Connection reset by peer) [22:00] went and waon this will get it this week I hope, see how it works on a 128 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260211524886 [22:00] {Balzabaar} Golan: Call it what you will... But you can rest easy that I won't post your precious Home... [22:00] {Balzabaar} ...Computer Wars on my website... [22:00] * Cichlid (~IceChat7@NewNet-60EDA00C.fuse.net) has joined #c64friends [22:00] JoeCommodore: That will NOT work. [22:01] Whay is that? [22:01] Er why is that? [22:01] * rrCurtisP (~Curtis@NewNet-5EE519AC.neo.res.rr.com) has joined #c64friends [22:02] Hoi CurtisP [22:02] Balzabaar: Do whatever you want. I've long since stopped caring about your tireless self-promotion/attention whoring. [22:02] Howdy rrCurtisP [22:02] ah, Saturdays \o/ [22:02] JoeCommodore: Search Google. There have been countless discussions about the matter and that device specifically. [22:03] Hey, Moloch. Didn't see you there? :) [22:03] Evening ;) [22:03] I've read them and don't see any reason why there is a problem. [22:04] JoeCommodore: Do you know what the difference between RGB and RGBi is? [22:04] Intensity [22:04] 8 colors vs. 16 colors [22:05] Thanks, Professor. Is your name JoeCommodore? [22:05] I'm assuming digital rgb or rgbi versus analog [22:05] No... he took to long [22:05] :| [22:05] Moloch! [22:05] back to idle [22:06] Evening Jeremy. [22:06] Anteres. [22:06] I inderstand that, but I have yet to see any people actually trying it, so I thought I would, and even at 8 colors it's good for work with Merlin 128 or Fontmaster 128. [22:07] My name Jose Jimenez. [22:08] JoeCommodore: Sounds good. [22:08] I'd love to be able to use my 128 or Amiga on a VGA monitor. I try to follow the various threads and discussions, but I haven't seen a satisfactory consensus yet on what works. [22:09] I second that Schema [22:09] C-128 is RGBI and supports 16 colors, Joe. You only will have issues on SOME CGA monitors (digital rgb monitors that don't support the intensity bit. Many do.) [22:09] actually that's my biggest hardware request [22:09] enough said [22:09] Wildstar: don't try to help... Golan will accuse you of being an attention whore. [22:09] ... [22:10] someone need to unknot their skirt? [22:10] :| [22:10] friendly bunch tonight :-/ [22:10] indeed [22:10] And Joe, just so you know, that box is an analog RGB to VGA converter and does NOT support digital TTL.

[22:12] <_Six_> :| [22:12] :E [22:12] * Pelleas gives _Six_ a wedgie [22:12] I forebear. [22:12] :P [22:12] Beer for everyone [22:12] * Balzabaar gives _Six_ a hug. [22:12] Just a Coke for me please. [22:12] * _Six_ grumbles about people sorting their problems out in private chats. [22:12] * Antares51 sets phasers on heavy stun. [22:12] Well the ebay page says CGA, which is TTL, so I figure it's worth a shot [22:12] mmm.... beer sounds good... BRB [22:13] Beer, it is not just for breakfast anymore [22:13] Great anytime. [22:13] * Antares51 prefers root beer. [22:13] * lordronin prepares disk of incomprehensible tools and utils for _Six_ [22:14] And until I see the uIEC or the better VIC multicart I wanted to throw money at something... :-) [22:14] <_Six_> Eh? [22:14] <_Six_> I like utils. [22:14] Utils good. [22:15] <_Six_> LR: This is that packer issue you were talking about, right? [22:15] JoeCommodore, could you please post your results with that box on comp.sys.cbm ? [22:15] JoeCommodore: I wish it was what you think it is and I wish it would work for you, for me and for everybody else. I'm telling you though, they shafted you. [22:16] <_Six_> Oh, btw. [22:16] Joe: I can guarantee you that the uIEC and the Mega-Cart WILL work. :) [22:16] <_Six_> For anyone who wants to hack their sysgen and get a LTK working... [22:16] <_Six_> The site doesn't mention that you have to drop a zero from your serial # to make it work. [22:16] I plan on it, and if it doesn't I have a color CGA->composite converter someone made from plans years ago somewhere, though he never added the I part of it. [22:17] I wknow they aill work, just I can't buy them right now. [22:18] Dopple was on the right track when he realized that the key to enjoying colour perfect 80 column output from a 128 on other monitors is found inside C= monitors. Get a dead monitor, remove the circuit and go from there. There are no shortcuts. [22:18] I'm a programmer not an electronics whiz. [22:19] Any soldering I do has to be real easy XM1541 is near my limit. [22:19] Like the IBM CGA monitor that had a bypass on yellow to make it brown? [22:19] My soldering is limited by my vision. [22:20] Small stuff requires magnification. [22:20] <_Six_> Man are you setting yourself up or what? [22:20] Last soldering I have done was taking out bad 6526 chips and putting in sockets for them. [22:21] I attempted to reattach wires to a pocket radio. Ouch! [22:21] Last soldering I did was to reattach the usb connector on my thumbdrive [22:21] BAK ... beer in hand. ;) [22:22] No worries. I just don't want to see people spending money on that box and then being disappointed when it doesn't work. It's a costly lesson and while I am an asshole, I don't relish the thought of people wasting their money. [22:22] At least my flashing blue led light was reparable along with installing a rechargeable battery for my 4000 toaster. [22:22] _Six_ yeah this is that disk of tools with the problems with Sledgehammer and ECA we talked about a couple weeks back. Will be copying the entire disk I was given and include a letter of my attempts. [22:24] No probs, I figure if it desnt work for the 128 it will work for the amiga or the Apple IIgs (though I got rid of my IIgs...) [22:26] Let a positive thought be your umbrella. [22:26] * Schema was at the Burlington Ham Radio Fest this morning, and got a few dozen bizarre MOS chips for $1. [22:26] bizarre? [22:26] Hey there Schema. [22:26] Schema: Any C= radio BBS stuff? [22:26] part #s I've never heard of - certainly nothing C= related [22:27] * Moloch (moloch@arkanixlabs.com) Quit (Quit: There was in their city a bronze statue of Moloch extending its hands, palms up and sloping toward the ground, so that each of the children when placed thereon rolled down and fell into a sort of gaping pit filled with fire.) [22:27] fotograf: no, I didn't see a single thing 8-bit related. [22:27] fotograf I have some stuff for MBATOR [22:27] schema: Any 65xx numbers? [22:27] got a Tandy m100 and a VIC-1541 at last year's for $5 each. [22:27] hang on, hang on, let me get the box! [22:27] Lord: Sorry dude, "MBATOR"? [22:28] m100 for $5? sweet! [22:28] * sjones (sjones@NewNet-9DD8C977.com) has joined #c64friends [22:29] wow! i had no idea the sysgen files were there thanks everyone [22:29] Hoi sjones [22:29] now if i can just get a host adapter i would be set [22:29] Hi Stephen! [22:30] fotograf that is close to the tag on the cart. I can't remember the exact spelling, that is more phoenitic. [22:30] dslman: Have you asked at Radio Shack? [22:31] Lord: but is a radio modem (sorry, can't remember the term tonight...) connection to a c=? [22:32] rtty? [22:32] Terminal adapter. [22:32] Golan: Here's a site that might interest you: http://www.rezrov.net/cbmroms/index.html [22:32] dslman2: maybe you and Wildstar can put your heads together and come up with something for your Lt. Kernal. [22:34] fotograf long story short. Guy passed away and was a HAM. Familly laid the C= stuff on me. Have some disks that are packet creation and opening. Along with this cart. Not going much farther than that as right now it is all packed up in boxes. [22:34] Why is that, Balzabaar? I have both JiffyDOS and the copy ROMs in my MSD SD-2. [22:34] DSLMAN: Mangelore (aka Fotios) bought my Lt Kernal... He may eventually be able to clone it. I'd say if anyone can, he can. :) [22:34] they are rare to find that's for sure [22:34] Lord: Thanks for the info dude. :) [22:34] phone [22:34] Golan: Okay, then... Thought you might not have them... My mistake. [22:35] I remember watching my high school electronics teacher send files and pictures via ham on his SX64. Would be back in 1984-85 [22:36] * redrumAFK is now known as redrumloa [22:36] hi joecommodore [22:37] fotograf, willing to part with tht stuff when I find it again. [22:37] OK, I have these MOS chips: 901460-03, 6502, 6522 x3, 6560, 6532, 901486-06, 6504 [22:38] dig fotograf@NewNet-20DDD8E.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] [22:38] oops :-) [22:38] Lord: tempting dude. Should you come across it, let me know. I'm not licensed yet but plan to one day soon; as it stands I have a receiver. [22:38] foto: Where you at? [22:38]
