Commodore.ca: The PET, VIC, 128, 64 & More Forum

Our first presentation is planned. FCUG member Roger Van Pelt will demonstrate the Commodore Magic Voice speech module with the demo disk and the talking games, Gorf and Wizard of Wor.

Merry Christmas!

Mike "Bitfixer" Hill will be back to show off his latest developments in PETpix for the Commodore and now the C64!

After a day at the Vintage Computer Festival 9.1 in New Jersey,

SCCAN member Matt Brewster will give a presentation on a Raspberry Pi running Chameleon with PET, VIC-20, C64, Plus/4, C128, and Amiga emulations (among many other emulations). He will also present the MIST FPGA device which clones the 68000-CPU computers, the classic Amiga and Atari ST.

Truly,

With all the C= items that I'm picking up in Europe, some of them will be presented at CommVEx. Most definitely, it looks like Cassiopei, the storage device for C= bit computers that have a cassette port, will get its day to shine at CommVEx.

Back from the Netherlands C= Show,

Hi Robert,

My hardware project is nearing fruition and I would like to present it at CommVex. I'm working on a replacement motherboard for a C64 B-3 that will fit into a standard ATX case with an ATX power supply. The prototype board is in my hands and I'm working to get completed it ready for the convention. Hopefully I can have it ready for operation at the convention to demonsrate. The goal is to build some boards that would be socketed and modular that would extend the life of C64 systems with more modern power supplies.

Very interesting. However, I don't understand your reference to C64 B-3.

Back from Europe,

Leif Bloomquist of the Toronto PET User Group will be coming to CommVEx for the very first time and will have a presentation or two.

Back from Europe,

Lars Nelson will be bringing his AmigaOne X1000 for all to see.

Back from Europe,

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm using the schematic for the B-3 rev C64 board #250466 as the basis for my board schematic. The B-3 board was the cost/part reduced board found in the early C64c's.

Leif now has more exact information on his presentation. He will speak about his motion-sensing gaming glove, his Vortex network game, and the TPUG Library CD.

Truly,

Keith Henrickson has confirmed that he will be attending the show. If you have any questions about his C64 apps for the iPAD and/or iPOD, ask him while he's there.

Truly,

Sorry guys, I'm too ill right now to prepare or travel so I'm having to cancel my attendance this year.

You will be sorely missed, Lars.

Get well soon,

As usual, we had a few extra, surprise presentations. Thanks go to those who put them on. I'll have all the presentations up on Youtube as soon as possible.

Still in Las Vegas until Sunday,
