8:57:54 PM:    tone007: i can stop pulling and reinserting zip chips now.
8:58:51 PM: Info-Seeke: yo
8:59:03 PM:    tone007: thanks for the tip, clocky.
8:59:48 PM:     Clocky: np
8:59:56 PM:     Clocky: so it worked then?
9:00:28 PM:     Clocky: sorry scrollback yeah good.
9:01:00 PM:     Clocky: no boot on Amiga - remove setpatch and try again, remember that ;-)
9:01:28 PM:    tone007: definitely, first trouble i've had with that one.
9:01:38 PM:     Clocky: not me ;-)
9:03:05 PM:     Clocky: I'm guessing the install disks you used for the OS weren't lableled  as A3000 specific install disks?

9:03:45 PM:   Fuzz-PSW: hey Snogpitch
9:04:03 PM:     Clocky: hey Fuzz, Snog
9:04:28 PM:    tone007: they are, actually.
9:04:38 PM:    tone007: came in the A3000 binder.
9:04:52 PM:    tone007: of course, when i got the machine it only had 1mb chip and 1mb fast.
9:05:11 PM:    tone007: upgraded to 2mb/4mb, still worked fine
9:05:17 PM:    tone007: but going to 8mb broke it.
9:05:39 PM:     Clocky: yeah, there would have been an updated setpatch probably - maybe on Aminet.

9:08:37 PM:    _brain_: yep
9:08:50 PM:    _brain_: Wonder how many people are there.
9:08:52 PM:     Clocky: ah is there a webcam?
9:09:36 PM:    _brain_: I don't know about that.
9:09:37 PM:  Snogpitch: I would think about now they would be at dinner anyway
9:09:47 PM:     Clocky: seems to draw a lot attention from former C= employees
9:10:04 PM:    _brain_: I think they are watching Chuck Peddle interview.

9:19:34 PM:  lordronin: Hoi Gang
9:19:36 PM:  Snogpitch: Howdy lordronin 
9:19:47 PM:  lordronin: Hoi Sngpitch
9:20:00 PM:  lordronin: err Snogpitch, sober tonight <S>
9:21:15 PM:  Snogpitch: will it change as the nite progresses?
9:22:27 PM:  lordronin: ah, sadly no. Didn't have time to make a store run.  before IRC. Game at 8 my time. Nothing left in the hosue in alcohol of drinking kind. Smeg I may sober to death
9:24:21 PM:  Snogpitch: Maybe someone will pack you a survival bag
9:25:26 PM:  lordronin:  a fifth and a 6 pack? {G}
9:26:01 PM:  lordronin: I'll be sending out the newsletter next week. Have a few colour pix of our 31sr anniversary party
9:26:26 PM:  lordronin: Just to add to Six's list of things {G}
9:26:42 PM:  Snogpitch: Catbox cake?  :9
9:28:14 PM:  Snogpitch: They still talk about the one I brought to work years ago
9:28:57 PM:  lordronin: Yuppers the traditional kitty box cake. With our furry A500 ignoring it for the picture
9:29:22 PM:  lordronin: So how does CCCC handle cat box cake. I have those shots you took years back in the newsletter.
9:29:51 PM:  Snogpitch: That was the last one I made :)
9:30:39 PM:  Snogpitch: Those who ate it said it tasted fine
9:31:16 PM:  lordronin: This year we altered the recipe again. Came out very moist and super rich. Not what one should give to a 2 year old {EG}
9:31:51 PM:  lordronin: Pic I took has the cake and the disks for the meeting. Waiting for the jokes about the disks should have been in the litter box as well.
9:33:50 PM:  lordronin: Problem we have now with the party/meeting is that the majority of members are all long distance, up to 3,000 miles for a couple of them
9:34:36 PM:  Snogpitch: ya, that's the problem with being a long distance supporter.
9:36:24 PM:  Snogpitch: I remember back in the 70s doing that with Star Trek clubs
9:37:18 PM:  Snogpitch: When I started college, that pretty much ended alot of the Star 
9:37:25 PM:  Snogpitch: Trek correspondence
9:38:18 PM:  lordronin: Have to figure out some way to have a server or something set up. In order for the lot to be active at least online at one time. New tech and way past my skills
9:39:08 PM:  lordronin: Happened that way to me with a international PBM. 15 players, but after a time the snail mail wore out. Never got it to work with inet stuff. PC platform variations
9:39:29 PM:  Snogpitch: what are you hoping to do online with the club?
9:40:30 PM:  Snogpitch: something like a video conference?
9:41:53 PM:  lordronin: more of an online forum. Where all can tie in at once and type in stuff. Really vague on the idea with my lack of understanding what is out there 
9:42:26 PM:  Antares51: Mice.
9:42:45 PM:  Snogpitch: The only forum our club has is our expo forum
9:42:50 PM:  lordronin: loading trout for Antares51. Smeg put one in the hopper tail first.
9:43:10 PM:  Antares51: Luv that trout.
9:43:39 PM:  lordronin: Like to have some sort of live thing that can at least tell the members what is happening. Video is past me at this time. No tech, no size and no bread.
9:44:09 PM:  Antares51: Prototyping replacement 64HDD server.
9:44:32 PM:  Snogpitch: Could do twitter for the club
9:45:09 PM:  lordronin: twitter is a new name I just heard the other day. No concept of what it might be
9:45:45 PM:  Antares51: We have wide turkeys...
9:47:44 PM:  Snogpitch: they talk twitter all the time on the local tv station...
9:48:03 PM:  Snogpitch: it's how the anchors at the news desk chat back and forth with viewers
9:48:56 PM:  lordronin: ah, no local stations here. Not a big TV watcher these days. I'll hit up BBC America for news tonight and see if I can follow
9:48:56 PM:  Snogpitch: I have to admit, I haven't tried it yet
9:50:06 PM:  lordronin: Maybe it would be waht we need for live meetings with the long distance members?
9:50:27 PM:  lordronin: Tech seems to move faster than I can follow these days, OK for the last 30 years {G}
9:53:32 PM:  Antares51: Tired of Hifi. Want lowfi instead.
9:54:05 PM:  Snogpitch: I've still got my Victrola
9:55:28 PM:  Snogpitch: and a few thousand 78rpm recordings
9:56:11 PM:  Antares51: that wonderful warm sound of analog.
9:56:54 PM:  Snogpitch: if the floor ever collaspes, the downstairs neighbor won't be too happy
9:57:34 PM:  lordronin: Ah my record collection was loved. Bummer is that it was loved by some one other than myself.
9:59:37 PM:  Snogpitch: I haven't been able to find much lately for the Victrola collection
10:00:05 PM:  Snogpitch: Once in a great while I do find an addition for my LP collection, tho
10:00:46 PM:  Snogpitch: bought a record off ebay this past year, was the last LP I got so far...
10:00:56 PM:  Snogpitch: bought it from the artist
10:01:21 PM:  Snogpitch: a collection of ragtime and early 1900 tunes
10:01:42 PM:  Antares51: I love ragtime.
10:02:08 PM:  Antares51: Scott Joplin fan.
10:02:14 PM:  lordronin: Good tunes from that era. They have a show that is syndicated on the local radio that features music from that time into the 30s
10:02:28 PM:  Snogpitch: ya, been a fan of ragtime for more years than Commodore
10:02:40 PM:  lordronin: Hmm, maybe have to put out Ragtime S.I.D.s that I got from Al at 5C's
10:03:53 PM:   Demonger: LR, if you do, send em my way.  Always love to collect new sids I don't already have.
10:04:21 PM:  Snogpitch: Demonger, have you seen the collection ShadowM has?
10:06:10 PM:  lordronin: Demonger, next MossyCon Cd will have at least 12megs that I was given by a guy that saved them from Q-Link
10:06:55 PM:  lordronin: Al Jackson at 5C's group, loves Ragtime and Jazz S.I.D.s ahd used to put out a disk side with them. I have all of those disks back to 92
10:11:43 PM:  Antares51: 64HDD prototype server is functional. I should have the full suite operational in two weeks.
10:12:07 PM:  lordronin: say care to write that up for the newsletter?
10:12:34 PM:  lordronin: save dmackey  frome doing another piece? {EG}
10:12:54 PM:  Antares51: Once the shakedown is over a newsletter article will be forthcoming.
10:13:17 PM:  Snogpitch: lordronin, that might be the same collection ShadowM has, it's 11.8mb zipped
10:13:35 PM:  Antares51: From "trash" to "treasure".
10:14:02 PM:  Snogpitch: http://www.lyonlabs.org/commodore/stereo-sid/cgsc.zip
10:14:39 PM:  lordronin: Yeah it might be, wasn't by that handle that I was given the files. I remember that at that time when I was using Wave, it was too large to DL onto my 16 meg partition.
10:15:25 PM:  lordronin: still grabbing that one you posted. May be the same or not, can't risk not having more C= things {EG}
10:21:31 PM:  Snogpitch: http://www.c64music.co.uk/ according to this website, there is May 2009 update with DemongerX's help
10:21:52 PM:  Snogpitch: I wonder if Shadow's version is up to that version?
10:22:46 PM:    ShadowM: not yet :)
10:23:49 PM:  Snogpitch: I don't know which version I got, it's been years since I downloaded it, so it definitely not that new
10:24:50 PM: dmackey-82: http://www.fatmanandcircuitgirl.com/live/
10:25:08 PM:  Snogpitch: OK, found the version I have 1.13
10:25:45 PM:  Snogpitch: so, I'm a few updates behind
10:25:59 PM:  Antares51: Did eskimo go south for the winter?
10:26:39 PM:        DLH: ShadownM: Anything good on those Power Assembler disks?
10:31:36 PM:             jasmaz ponders the SuperPET System Overview Manual and the mention of a 6850
10:32:07 PM: *** Signoff: sentinel (Quit: Leaving)
10:33:37 PM:     jasmaz: Anyone here know much about the Waterloo board revisions in the SuperPET?
10:34:21 PM:    ShadowM: DLH, haven't looked yet. Busy coding GEOS.
10:35:27 PM:  Snogpitch: Could that be the Waterloo Basic maybe?
10:39:52 PM:  lordronin: ShadowM, you said the magic word to my ears
10:41:42 PM:  Snogpitch: coding a GEOS client for Q?
10:41:58 PM:        DLH: I will send you a link for the GeoBASIC manual when I get it done
10:42:41 PM:  lordronin: Ah you know me, the word Geos has my deaf old ears perk up. I was only writing on it for 5 hours dtoday

10:43:05 PM:  lordronin: Still working on the over 273 pages of that music manual DLH. A little each day as time permits.
10:43:10 PM:    ShadowM: No, no Q coding.
10:43:32 PM:        DLH: lr: no hurry :)
10:45:21 PM:  Snogpitch: I still need to scan the docs I promised _brain_
10:45:38 PM:  lordronin: Well DLH there is also about 15 years of our local newsletters to scan. Then the exchanges taht re not on your site. Then Inoticed a large lack of game manuals. That I have thrust on a shelf. Like the T$R SSI games {Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Asure Bonds, Secret of the Silver Blades} and more.
10:45:43 PM:  Snogpitch: it's on my to do list this weekend tho
10:45:54 PM:  lordronin: Just have 90 min a day on a shared computer till the replacements arrive.
10:46:32 PM:        DLH: check with me before doing any game manuals, I have hundreds done and a lot submitted from another guy that are not sorted thru for posting yet
10:47:53 PM:  lordronin: Shall do, saved that UL information you sent me.
10:48:17 PM:        DLH: Incoming (DIR) 7.26gig   6,855 files    yikess...........
10:48:27 PM:  lordronin: I had a big box come into the shop about 10 years ago with game manuals. No games. Been putting game disks with manuals from time to time.
10:48:58 PM:  lordronin: Not enough C= stuff, says this addict {BG}
10:49:17 PM:        DLH: lr: Had you seen the magazine I posted today.   The Guide to Computer Living?
10:49:59 PM:        DLH: think it said it was formerly the NorthWest newsletter or something
10:52:10 PM:  lordronin: No, not been to your site today. I have a few issues of that one, like 4. Shortly after the name change.
10:52:28 PM:  lordronin: Got them from a guy in the mid west last year.
10:52:45 PM:  lordronin: Have to see if the issues are dupes of what I have, if not, more scanning work.
10:52:55 PM:        DLH: I had not seen that one before.  Was surprised how well it was done
10:54:10 PM:  lordronin: As was I, when i saw the jpeg that was shown me of the issues. Then had them in hand. But I can't find anyone that remembers it in the area. Came out of Portland/Beaverton IIRC. That is just around 100 miles 
10:54:13 PM:  lordronin: east of me
10:55:13 PM:    ShadowM: CGSC 1.16 now on my SID page as tarball and zip archive.  http://lyonlabs.org/commodore/stereo-sid/index.html
10:56:12 PM:             ShadowM hates 7zip
10:56:43 PM:             lordronin doesn't know 7zip or if this linux thing could open it
10:57:31 PM:  lordronin: gamers have arrived. Time for me to torment them and save this chat from me {EG}
10:57:35 PM: *** lordronin has left channel #c64friends (Jacking out to mess with something. Either Leiko or a game or the C= most likely)
10:58:10 PM:  Snogpitch: well that saves me the trouble looking up the 7zip utility
10:59:09 PM:  Snogpitch: thanks! :)
10:59:29 PM:    ShadowM: c64friends don't let c64friends use 7zip.
11:03:41 PM:  Snogpitch: So, what version was the other one you replaced?
11:04:13 PM:    ShadowM: 1.13, I think. I blew it away already.
11:08:24 PM:        DLH: I'd like to have this but the price is wacked - http://cgi.ebay.com/Commodore-VIC-20-An-Introduction-to-BASIC-Part-2_W0QQitemZ270238864214
11:10:12 PM:        DLH: also does anyone have any info on this assembler by Panther.  Trying to find the manual and/or d64 - http://www.bombjack.org/requests/panther-assembler.jpg
11:10:30 PM:        DLH: checked the normal places and did not come up with anything
11:10:40 PM:   Demonger: I'm back now.  Yeah Peter said I increased his collection by 40% or so when I sent him my sid collection.  Also, have been in contact with Uncle Slam and Rajin Cajun, that did alot of rock/metal stereo sids.  Hope to get Uncle slam's personal collection as well.  I'm sure there are things there not spread around.
