Oh which ones? [21:11] No, not as of yet. Haven't checked e-mail since I got up here just a few moments ago. [21:11] Did get a nice msg this morn from Nightlord. [21:11] When I visited Jim S., I discovered a boxed Dalek Attack for the Amiga. I told him that you would want it, LR. [21:12] * c64geezer (~mike@9085CC1B.55B967C7.AB80CE00.IP) has joined #c64friends [21:12] Howdy c64geezer [21:12] Man, that is an "OH WOW!!!".

[21:13] black cat is actually the one I've been playing [21:13] * lordronin sets mode: +v c64geezer [21:13] yep, here I be :) Will have to leave for just a bit though. [21:13] Ah that is the first one Imade. Took 5 attempts to compress my story idea to what would fit. Still think I didn't give enough information for a background on the Banod of Humanity [21:14] I bought a passle of Amiga goodies (and a few C= goodies) from Jim last Tuesday. [21:14] I've cleaned out the drive I got from #30, and I've got it in my 1581 kit from jppbm, but I still need to find my power supply to test the drive. [21:14] I will have to write a report on my visit to him. [21:14] Take ti then that the car problem was a quick and easy fix? [21:14] questreader is a pretty cool utility [21:14] brb [21:14] Boing! Steve, I had several 1581 p.s.'s sitting in my car during the time of MossyCon. [21:15] Sounds like you have what you needed save for the PS. Hope that owrks for you. [21:15] I have one, its in a box labelled "VIC" on the side .. :) [21:15] I'll grab it in a few minutes [21:15] the 1541-II psus also work with the 1581 [21:15] Yeah that tool came on Load Star #77 with WuestWriter. Made text adventures a bit more easier to learn to play. So haven't started those horrible stories yet. [21:16] Right, Snog. [21:16] I picked black cat because it seemed shorter than dead time and cave.. [21:17] There are a few bugs to that one that I didn't learn how to fix till later. Dead Time is the second one I wrote and Cave the final one. Did those last tow in about three days. [21:17] * Antares51 (~Richard_E@NewNet-641EFC4C.om.om.cox.net) has joined #c64friends [21:17] * ChanServ sets mode: +v Antares51 [21:17] Took over a week to learn what they meant on the 80% of the dox for QuestWriter that I could understand. and a lot of T&E [21:17] Howdy Antares51 [21:17] From Jim, I bought the shoot-up game, Watchtower, for the A1200/4000.

[21:18] Hope to see him later this year. When bills are paid, and Scott is back from his travells he is taking after his return from Iraq. [21:18] And I bought the Epyx Vorpal Utility Kit for the Commodore. [21:18] you won the lottery? [21:18] WB 'geezer [21:18] My dad died. [21:19] :) [21:19] You got a printer to work?

[21:20] Like any other old yiddish father, mine don't call, don't write, don't visit or even e-mail. Well one pops in here from time to time. [21:20] Man you weren' the one to find him, where you? [21:20] Probably heart attack. [21:20] I was there. [21:21] Then for the Amiga 500/2000, I bought StarRay, Federation, Magic Fly, Lords of the Rising Sun, and Bob's Bad Day. [21:21] Sorry to hear that, went through something like that myself. [21:21] Were you at a hospital with him, Antares? [21:21] Gotta get Jaeson out here so he can teach us Amiga stuff. [21:21] Good to see you LR and Mr. Bernardo. Long time... [21:21] I went thru a similar situation in October, Antares51 [21:22] Fortunately for me, Dad did give me a key to his apartment [21:22] I'm now the family "patriarch". [21:22] Finally, I bought a good Kraft joystick and an excellent metal-cased, arcade-style Ideal joystick. [21:23] Think that I saw those in the file he sent me. [21:23] That last one has microswitches on the joystick and arcade-duty buttons. [21:23] Saw the pictures of Mossycon IV. Impressive! Liked the cats too. [21:23] Oh yeah Nightlord stated that he is still interested in doing the C= game thing with us. [21:24] I haven't posted my MC 4 pics yet. [21:24] Oh they are up already? Didn't know that. Wow then I wonder when the video will be up? [21:24] SMJ posted them then? [21:24] http://sdf1.org/curiosity/mciv [21:24] Wish I'd been there.

[22:00] Gotta do it, Told you that there was amess of new things out there for the C= 'geezer [22:00] * Bryan loves the Airwolf music... :) [22:00] Someone want to explain Q-Link and that tscper prg? [22:00] OR give c64geezeer the web url? [22:00] yes, and I'm glad...just talked to my son and told him about getting C= up and going again. [22:00] stargate [22:01] Red Dwarf [22:01] Yeah, Bryan, it is so synthesizy for the 1980's. :-) [22:01] * Bryan think Jamie Lee Curtis should do an action film like Signorey Weaver.. [22:01] Futurama cuase Bender is my role model [22:01] [22:01] Well spoken Bruce [22:01] crack two [22:01] * Bryan loves synth music too [22:02] Star Trek TOS is on. [22:02] * lordronin has no booze tonight :-( [22:02] I saw it earlier this afternoon. [22:02] See it late at night [22:02] Watching it on this system now. [22:03] Bryan you would love then what came out of the speakers at MossyCon4 from sjones device. Mind blowing. Even for a half deaf old hippy. [22:03] * Bryan will put Airwolf on his netflix queue.. [22:03] * Harlock has no booze either, reduced to drinking diet coke lime [22:03] unfortunately I didn't arrange any music with it. [22:03] Harlock: is that even still made? [22:03] * lordronin has a mess of Dr Who on his queue at netflix [22:03] * Antares51 watched Vanishing Point last week. [22:03] its still around where I live [22:03] Oh, yeah, Steve's sound system at MossyCon was great. [22:03] but then the grocery stores (all 3 of 'em) get torontos leftovers [22:04] Say that is a question I didn't ask you sjones. Can the prophet 64 play exisitng SID pieces, or must all be arranged on it and saved? [22:04] I must try to duplicate it. ;-) [22:04] robertb the airwolf was that dvd or on telly? [22:04] On DVD. [22:04] I want the system. Even ready to gut a SID chip from a bad PLA 64. Be abotu the only way I can play music these days. [22:05] smeg, I'd hafta buy it then, lackluster here stinks for tv rentals [22:05] I could install SID2SID in your SX64 LR. [22:05] Man I thought when sjones started playing the tunes. Oxygene would show up. [22:05] the board I used could just as easily be done on a perf board. [22:05] jean michel jarre? [22:05] * Harlock still has dr. who on videotape [22:06] Airwolf Season 1 has been added to my netflix queue .. :D [22:06] sjones that would be great. Chuckling to myself. I'm so old that I really did use real perf boards in electronics class. Right from the ceiling. [22:06] * RobertB still has Blue Thunder on Beta tape. [22:06] BetaMAX [22:06] sjones that is correct. Still have one thick collectors album of that release. [22:07] he recently went through the trouble of restoring all of his old gear to perform it live, did you know? [22:07] * Dragos thinks videotapes are the devil [22:08] Hmm, but actually I think he was using some newer, but still old (20 years+) gear [22:08] No thanks for that tip. Haven't heard or seen a thing about him in 20+ years. Love the music as well as Walter Wendy Carlos work [22:08] * Harlock has beta deck sitting 2 feet away [22:08] in one of the performances he was playing on a memory moog and it went wildy out of tune. [22:08] * lordronin has sealed 4 track tapes 6' away. [22:08] Ooo, what make and model, Harlock? [22:08] I'm a fan of walter/wendy [22:08] lamotron 4000.... [22:09] but I was only switched on bach after TRON came out [22:09] sony SL2401, I should replace the belts [22:09] Been trying to find Wend's Brandenburg concertos [22:09] That reminds me... Jim Scabery told me how he interfaced an 8-track tape deck to the Commodore and used that instead of a cassette deck. [22:09] have toshiba stereo beta other side of the basement, it desperately needs new belts [22:09] Older than you SMJ. Still have an origianl well worn album. Got it fresh off the stands. [22:10] Damn, I gotta go out and buy easter baskets [22:10] I have a Sanyo Beta deck that works fine. [22:10] RobertB someone told me about doing that with VHS tapes too. [22:10] bbl [22:10] * Moloch gets out his sledgehammer [22:10] I had couple sanyo beta's both got worn out [22:10] Bye redrum. [22:10] Target practice! ;) [22:10] Jim S. was able to load and save off the 8-track tapes. [22:10] I remember seeing a vcr backup system for amiga years ago [22:10] Hey Moloch got to see that series recently not a bad one [22:10] Bye, Redrum. [22:10] I thought the well-tempered synthesizer was better than S-OB [22:11] Yeah, I heard about that, Harlock. [22:11] LR - yeah, the first season or so is the best ... after that the show dies out fast [22:11] apparaantly when restoring from a backup tape the input buffers would fill up faster than the computer would read it, not sure if that was true or rumor [22:11] Well that album had more experience to it, but I think the recording and the presentation were better. Perhaps it was just the selections. Classical music fan and ex-player. [22:12] * golan (~golan@NewNet-80735462.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) has joined #c64friends [22:12] * ChanServ sets mode: +o golan [22:12] wb [22:12] Re. [22:12] Saw both seasons on DVD last year. I agree, first was better than second. But according to the creator. They didn't expect a second season. [22:12] WB Mr. Klinger, sir. [22:12] Hmm, well, I asked Jim S. if he could find the interface for the 8-track deck, but that was asking too much. ;-) [22:12] hey golan [22:13] *plop* [22:13] * _brainAFK_ is now known as _brain_ [22:13] Hi, Jim B. [22:13] Hoi _brain_ [22:13] got that 3rd 1541 workin good earlier this afternoon [22:13] Evening Jim. [22:13] * golan is in reinstall hell [22:13] <_brain_> eve... [22:13] * Harlock off the the LOOOO, brb [22:14] Been there; done that. [22:14] got the T shirt and it didn't fit [22:14] hello underscore brain [22:14] rb what would the advantages be to 8 track to c= [22:15] <_brain_> Hello, non-underscore Bryan [22:15] HA [22:15] * Harlock is back [22:15] lessmoney I can assist a bit on that one. Media quality is one factor. Then there is tape size 1/8th for cassette to 1/4 for 8track. Speed is another. Cassette goes at 1 7/8 ips. 8 track is 3 3/4 ips [22:16] No rewinding, Wes. However, Jim S. said that a program is limited to one track, because it cannot handle crossing tracks. [22:16] oh ok got it [22:16] Phase jitter problems? [22:16] does playback speed on 8track actually load faster for C64? [22:16] So then a prg on an 8 track would be on average no longer that 10 minutes? [22:17] * Bryan is listening to the *GREAT* SLAYradio.. [22:17] underscore brain.. r u Jim Brain? [22:18] if i remember does the cassette write twice 1 for the program and 1 as a verifier [22:18] I guess so, LR. [22:18] I don't know, Harlock. [22:19] lessmony: correct. [22:19] OK on the concept that the tape moves faster. Then yes it is in theory faster than cassette. [22:19] lessmony: that sounds familiar. [22:19] That is correct, lessmony, some "speedloaders" gain their speed by not doing the verify step [22:19]
