Session Start: Sat Aug 23 20:49:41 2008 Session Ident: #c64friends [20:49] * Now talking in #c64friends [20:49] * Topic is 'We Adore Our C64 = = and Q-Link!!' [20:49] Howdy folks [20:50] hi snog [20:50] Evening Mr. Witmer, sir. [20:51] http://www.innercirclebbs.com/CMDSD01.jpg [20:51] lookie [20:55] Is there a HD in there too? [20:55] no [20:55] nice [20:55] http://www.innercirclebbs.com/CMDSD01.jpg thru 13 :) [20:55] Do the lights still at least come on in the front? [20:55] yeah man, but not for long, its so fast [20:56] works just like a HD [20:57] * Village_16 (~IceChat7@A60E2C3F.2B314436.6C75C244.IP) has joined #c64friends [20:57] then, pull it out, slide in a new card, hit reset wheee [20:57] Howdy Village_16 [20:57] hi snogpitch [20:57] who's SD design are you using under the hood? [20:58] its scsi to ide bridge then ide to sd adapter, so I guess Im using some fine Chinaman's work... :) [21:00] interesting, I though the driver needed to be optimized for all the writing or it would ruin the card pretty quick [21:01] * weirdwolf (~kvirc@NewNet-C6F7C4AC.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has joined #c64friends [21:01] http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330243075113 [21:01] that's the bridge I use [21:01] * BeeMan (~Javauser@NewNet-495DD340.tampabay.res.rr.com) has joined #c64friends [21:02] Howdy weirdwolf and BeeMan [21:02] http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150285785451 [21:02] the IDE to SD [21:02] interesting it only talks about read only devices [21:03] Hello Snogpitch [21:03] Hey Snog. LTNS [21:04] eddie, why go through all the trouble and trash a valuable drive at the same time?? [21:04] I have made two of these so far. The 4GB SD cards have enough blocks for 240 partitions (well, 241 but the last one is only 256 blocks!) [21:04] I dont consider it trashed [21:05] a zip drive is trashed [21:05] i do, the only value pf cmd devices is selling them [21:06] they have been replaced [21:06] how about putting the slot in the rear? [21:06] Eddie: you can do that. [21:06] Though most of the back of CMD HD's are all ready packed with connections. [21:06] *connectors. [21:07] I tried just sticking it out the top but it didnt work out too well. [21:07] why not external in a different case connected to the cmd-xx [21:08] seems like a waste of space in that big box [21:08] good idea [21:08] how much for the scsi to ide bridge?? [21:08] DLH: you could. But all of these connectors are small enough to do it inside. [21:08] they're about 40 bux [21:08] point was not to modify the case if you wanted to keep it original [21:09] The first one I did I just left all internal. thought people would like the ability to swap cards [21:09] Yep, DLH, you could. [21:10] Either way. [21:11] I like the external idea too, it could be small little compact thing [21:11] I have been trying to decide what to do with mine. upgrade to a larger HD.... [21:11] From eddie's links. 60 to 70 for the IDE to SD card converter + Scsi to IDE converters? [21:11] you'd think the power consumption would be less, but a 1581 power supply still wont power it [21:12] * lordronin (~lordronin@7A1E55C2.68A28F0F.E153056D.IP) has joined #c64friends [21:12] * ChanServ sets mode: +o lordronin [21:12] Hoi gang [21:12] Howdy lordronin [21:12] hi LR [21:12] Hoi Snogpitch [21:12] hello LR [21:12] Hoi #16 [21:12] Wiz originally had the idea, but it required some desoldering of the power connectors, so he never did it, then Golan says he does this sort of thing on his Amigas and it would probably work on a CMD HD [21:12] Hoi BeeMan [21:12] LR [21:12] Hoi Eddie the One [21:13] I heard this idea originally from Golan. [21:13] if only those could be set up in series so it could be used as a viable method to copy the real scsi drive [21:14] Snog: you have been thinking my way too. [21:14] ;-) [21:17] * BeeMan (~Javauser@NewNet-495DD340.tampabay.res.rr.com) has left #c64friends [21:18] I was thinking about case for the compact flash device Jim Brain designed... [21:19] Snog: yes, that would work as well. [21:19] the card itself looks like it would fit into a cartridge case [21:20] of course you would not have access to the activity lights unless you drilled some holes for them [21:21] I like the cases people came up with for the 1541u's [21:21] it would look a bit bizare seeing a drive cable attached to a cartridge tho [21:23] If you used a Vic20 cartridge case, folks might think it's a printer interface [21:23] * Harlock (~Harlock@NewNet-72CDE75C.home1.cgocable.net) has joined #c64friends [21:23] * ChanServ sets mode: +v Harlock [21:24] Howdy Harlock [21:24] Helloooo Snogpitch [21:26] Hoi Harlock [21:26] Hellooo you too LR [21:26] hey harlock [21:26] so whats new here tonight? [21:27] hey WW [21:28] We were talking about eddie's creation... [21:28] Well I am going to try to CONvince you to enter the MossyCon5 game contest Harlock. {EG} [21:29] reminds me of "the CON game" a game bout running cons no less [21:30] sooo when is the game contest? [21:30] Nah it is easier than that. Adventure Construction Set, Dungeon nCreator and plain old F2F dice game adventure in Geos for MossyCon5. [21:30] btw, what's eddies creation? [21:31] Contest is NOW, at least for construction. Event is planned for the 5th of April next year [21:31] so any rpg adventure, edited to perfection on some kinda C= setup [21:38] <_Commodore_> goodmorning [21:38] http://www.innercirclebbs.com/CMDSD01.jpg thru 13 :) [21:38] harlock ^ [21:40] lookin now eddie [21:40] smeg says page can't be found [21:41] Harlock, well originally it was just for the Adventure Construction set. Don't blame me that is sjones's fault. I added Dungeon Creator from LoadStar, and then decided that a print out thing would also be great for those of us that have problems with the bloody prg tools. Subject matter of game and maturity rating is up to the author. [21:42] All work will be used on the CD for MossyCon5. Placed on ACUG disks and eventually on the remade BBS. But nothing is for sale, and the author has his work in his name. This is C= for C=. [21:43] LR, PM me your address, please when you have a sec. [21:43] * Harlock sees eddies cmd drive modification, for some sorta memory card [21:45] * ShadowM (~ShadowM@NewNet-3C16A293.dsl.milwwi.ameritech.net) has joined #c64friends [21:45] * ChanServ sets mode: +o ShadowM [21:45] Hoi ShadowM [21:45] hiya [21:45] Shado is back :) [21:45] Howdy ShadowM [21:47] Hey ShadowM [21:49] * LordNLptp (~jonathan@NewNet-9D06D8FB.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) has joined #c64friends [21:49] * ChanServ sets mode: +v LordNLptp [21:49] Howdy LordNLptp [21:50] <_Commodore_> Goodmorning all [21:50] hi Snogpitch [21:51] Hey Clocky [21:51] <_Commodore_> hello weirdwolf, snog, harlock, shadow [21:51] Helooo Commodore [21:51] <_Commodore_> eddie, LR [21:51] but not good morning here in the boonies, is evening [21:52] <_Commodore_> good-whatevertimeofdayitiswhereyouare [21:52] <_Commodore_> ;-) [21:52] Hoi LordNLptp [21:52] hi lordronin [21:53] Hi _commodore_ [21:53] <_Commodore_> hi village16 [21:53] is saturday night here so not so bad [21:53] Good _Commodore_ [21:53] Evening folks. [21:53] weirdwolf: did you come across any 8-inch tapes with ancient unix or bsd source code on them? [21:53] definitely evening and my shoulder stings [21:53] LordNLPTP: No, never have. [21:53] I now have a real reason to be interested in that; I'm looking for the source code to Malcom D. Mcilroy's original unix 'speak' command, or even a binary of it [21:54] according to the pups unix archive, only the man pages survived there [21:54] was in unix v3, 4, 5 and 6 [21:54] <_Commodore_> Well, welcome to the future... [21:54] * Fuzz-PSW (~Fuzz@NewNet-269E8AD1.algonquincollege.com) has joined #c64friends [21:54] Howdy Fuzz-PSW [21:54] Hello Fuzz. [21:54] call the fuzz, wait here is already [21:55] lol [21:55] hey guys [21:55] <_Commodore_> heh [21:55] LORDNLPTP: I really cannot help you with that. Sorry [21:55] <_Commodore_> hello Fuzz [21:55] Hey Fuzz [21:55] hiya [21:55] weirdwolf: ok, couldn't hurt to ask [21:55] hiya [21:55] thanks anyway [21:55] :) [21:55] * BeeMan (~Javauser@NewNet-495DD340.tampabay.res.rr.com) has joined #c64friends [21:55] Hoi Fuzz-PSW [21:55] WB Beeman. [21:56] #16 did you go shooting with the shotgun, and is that why the shoulder stings? [21:56] lordnlptp: nah, it doesn't. [21:56] I emailed mcilroy himself and he was nice enough to scan a paper copy of his academic paper on the subject of speech to phoneme translation [21:56] I don't have code that far back but theres a few long gone C= files i wish I could get back [21:56] yes LR, I shot a lot of diffrent loads [21:56] that paper was totally inaccessible beforehand; the two bell tel sites you could have picked up a copy are long gone [21:56] lord: i see. well, I cannpt help you. [21:56] <_Commodore_> Is "pigs" used colloqually (sp?) to describe the police in the US? [21:57] weirdwolf: ok, i thought you might be interested in the details, but i guess not [21:57] * weirdwolf bites his tongue. [21:57] <_Commodore_> or UK for that matter? [21:57] yeah, though not so common in some spots commodore [21:57] I have found that solid slug can go 100 yards [21:57] weirdwolf: I'll stop talking now [21:57] reminds me of that old Young Ones joke about the cops [21:57] lord: sorry but no. This is a C= channel. [21:58] <_Commodore_> what joke is that? [21:58] "if pigs could fly, scotland yard would be londons 3rd airport", that from a not so bright character [21:59] <_Commodore_> he he I used to watch the Young Ones [21:59] was one of niel the hippy or ricks stonehead friends i think [22:00] weirdwolf: i know, but it is sort of relevant: mcilroy's algorithm was the inspiration/basis of the nrl algorithm, which is used on the diskette which came with the Votrax Votalker 64 [22:01] yeah i know thats a bit of a stretch, but a lot of people who hang around here are also interested in non-c64 stuff [22:01] <_Commodore_> I liked Neil the best, what a dag [22:02] <_Commodore_> Have you seen the "IT crowd" [22:02] "summer is a bummer" [22:02] saw it once i thinks [22:02] <_Commodore_> There is a Commodore PET in it [22:02] missed seeing that [22:03] my house (in the middle of the street) has an 8050 in it, thats close enough for mee [22:03] <_Commodore_> part of the set, backdrop [22:03] <_Commodore_> madness?

[22:23] <_Commodore_> Me "OK... mmmm tastes good (thinking it tastes like soapsuds)" [22:23] if I did homebrew I'd go for some original flavour [22:24] like alcoholic rootbeer [22:24] <_Commodore_> Harlock = rootbeer fanatic? [22:24] A&W is a second home to me [22:24] * Harlock got pissed off when the local mall got rid of A&W [22:25] <_Commodore_> Tesco?

[22:28] ARound here Harlock it is called Dr. Pecker [22:28] <_Commodore_> Vegetable spread. Black salty crap that spreads like Nutella sorta [22:29] <_Commodore_> Marmite is similar [22:29] <_Commodore_> but from UK [22:29] got nutella here it ain't so bad [22:29] the black salty crap is what we make roofing tiles out of [22:30] <_Commodore_> Nutella is sweet, Vegemite is just Salty tasting rotted vegetable matter. [22:30] <_Commodore_> only the consistancy is similar [22:30] <_Commodore_> consistency? [22:30] sounds like my old high school cafeteria [22:30] or crapateria [22:31] <_Commodore_> we only had pies, pasties, sausage rolls and half rolls with butter for the povs. [22:31] Sounds worse that what they served us in Basic 45 years ago.

[22:45] I have seen C64 used for missle tracking and NASA in equipment racks [22:45] remember a C64 in red dwarf, a pet in an old tv movie, can't remember others at the moment [22:46] Wish I could have got pictures :( [22:46] saw atari st in one nasa documentary on tv, even heard of them using ZX81's years ago as dedicated controllers for somesuch [22:47] Maybe Radiohead will use one - they have lots of interesting instruments [22:47] for the hellfire missle program they used some 64's for telemetry. Guy even showed me a couple NOS c64's they had in storage [22:47] how long ago? [22:47] I'd grab one just for that new C= foam smell [22:48] crazy as that sounds [22:48] I really miss the smell of record albums [22:49] I still got most of mine [22:49] few as they are [22:49] Me too. Led Zeppelin II still going strong. [22:53] <_Commodore_> I have a few records, they sound so refreshingly good.

[22:55] * Harlock lurks about the record store on spadina where he bought his turntable [22:55] yeah, [22:55] got it new years ago and kept it [22:55] <_Commodore_> good guess :-) [22:55] Today's youth will never experience the thrill of finding out what the Beatles did backwards [22:56] Still amazed by the backwards "Number 9" [22:56] turntable I've got now does backwards quite well [22:56] used it to recover a few scratched records to cd [22:56] <_Commodore_> or that record that had two two grooves and whichever groove it started in was a completely different record [22:57] Wow, never heard of that [22:57] <_Commodore_> how is it amazing, I haven't heard it [22:57] <_Commodore_> ? [22:57] "number 9" backwards comes out "turn me on, dead man" [22:57] I kid you not. [22:58] <_Commodore_> intentional then I take it? [22:59] They did have fun with the Paul McCartney is dead clues. 9 was John Lennon's favorite number. [23:00] <_Commodore_> three sided record reference [23:00] <_Commodore_> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monty_Python_Matching_Tie_and_Handkerchief [23:00] well I'm off for tonight [23:00] l8r all [23:00] <_Commodore_> not the only one, I'm fairly certain the beatles had one too [23:00] <_Commodore_> cya harlock [23:00] later harlock [23:01] * Harlock (~Harlock@NewNet-72CDE75C.home1.cgocable.net) Quit (Quit: I love my HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <-) [23:04] Cool link. Never heard of the double groove. A Beatles rarity is a hidden "song" that started well after most people thought the record ended. [23:05] <_Commodore_> ah maybe that is the beatles rarity I'm thinking of [23:06] <_Commodore_> i would imagine that monty python record to be quite collectable now [23:07] you bet [23:08] although, not quite as collectible, or valuable, as the Beatle's Butcher Cover album. [23:09] <_Commodore_> More references... http://www.snopes.com/music/media/groove.asp [23:09] <_Commodore_> Is that the backwards one? [23:11] The Butcher cover was created by the Beatles who were mad at Capital records for "butchering" their albums, i.e., taking one British release and cutting it into two American records. [23:12] In protest, the Beatles donned butcher's smocks, lots of meat and blood, and baby doll heads. [23:12] <_Commodore_> ah yes I just looked it up... that would fetch big $ today [23:12] * jppbm (~jppbm@NewNet-69B596AE.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) has joined #c64friends [23:13] hello all!

[23:22] Legend tells of a golden 128 [23:23] <_Commodore_> Will Robert Bernardo be there? [23:23] possible...why?...good or bad? [23:24] <_Commodore_> Is Golan goint to be there? [23:24] <_Commodore_> Dragos? [23:25] not sure...he may go on his own, but not with me...to much STUFF! [23:25] <_Commodore_> Golden 128... hang on I'll just get the paint can...

[23:32] I haven't heard of anythign for this show. [23:32] <_Commodore_> At least you don't pay $1.54 a litre for fuel [23:32] first class postage stamp is how much? .42? [23:32] <_Commodore_> is commvex free? [23:32] Jason Compton figures its cheaper to pay for the building and have all his friends come to him then for him to pay airfare to got to each show to see them ....so with Free admission he is encuraging the maximum to come see him! [23:33] think it's .42 now. [23:33] not sure? [23:33] <_Commodore_> good work [23:33] <_Commodore_> good thinking [23:33] I got 83 cents needed for a package, got two stamps...

[23:40] BBQ was decent, I guess. I didn't actually eat anything. I was in the basement playing Amiga games. :) [23:40] Hey joe.. Have a Jack for me? [23:40] look at wwww.jppbm.com [23:41] You pronounce it the same as leaf. [23:41] yup! [23:41] <_Commodore_> ok, thanks [23:41] JP: You were gone when I came upstairs. You didn't even come down for the fun. [23:42] Tracy wanted to get back and unpack the new furnature in the livingroom here! [23:42] Chillin' a Steinlager, here [23:43] unloading it through the new door here is why we arrived at leif;s late [23:44] Hey, what does the 32K ram Super Snapshot allow? [23:45] what U mean? sammy? [23:45] sammy: I was about to ask the same question [23:45] What does the ram upgrade enable the cartridge to do? [23:45] What is the 32 extra RAM for? [23:45] ok [23:46] it is used in the copiers [23:46] allows you to suck in more of the disk in one pass... [23:47] you can copy the disk in two passes instead of five on a single 1541 set-up! [23:47] Super Snapshot - great cartridge [23:47] with a 64....and one pas on the 128 [23:48] pass! [23:48] How many can I sign you up for? [23:49] I still have my original Snapshot 64 and disk. It was awesome [23:50] I hear that guy with those cartridges will be at the chicago expo...! [23:50] <_Commodore_> Really? wow ;-) [23:53] :-) Joe would that be you? [23:53] My feeling is that the Super Snapshot is the best of all the utility cartridges. Such a lovely thing. [23:56] Tjats me weird! [23:56] Thats Me weird! [23:57] * jppbm will return shotly.....
