Once again, Richard Goedeken, creator of the original C128 Video DAC (RGB-to-VGA converter), appears at CommVEx. Let's see if I can convince him to talk about his adventures in Commodore and Amiga gaming and his meticulous computer repair!
What an engineer he is!

I met Daniel Kaye and Kenneth Turecott, Newtek Video Toaster engineers, and got about their experiences during the heyday of the Amiga Video Toaster! This was just filmed at the recent Maker Faire Bay Area, and you'll get to see it at CommVEx.
Wishing for an even longer interview from them,

He'll also have two more Pi's - one with classic Amiga and the other with C64.rbernardo wrote:As in past shows, Matt will be showing something in the way of Commodore and/or Amiga hardware emulation.
