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

First! Lars Nelson will return to CommVEx with an AmigaOne, a Sam440 Flex, and other Amiga machines to show. Expect a great presentation on all that is happening with Amiga.

FCUG celebrating 30 years,

At last Sunday's SCCAN meeting in the Los Angeles area, Josh Shiflet was running PAL C64 demos from his 1541 Ultimate II on my NTSC/PAL monitor. I asked him to do such a thing at this year's CommVEx, and he tentatively agreed!

FCUG celebrating 30 years,

Not necessarily a presentation and definitely not an exhibit... Zach Weddington, producer of the Viva Amiga film at http://www.amigafilm.com is planning to attend the show and wants to conduct interviews while he is there.

Truly,

Three more presentations...

Lenard Roach will speak about how he got the second edition of his book, "Run-Stop/Restore" published.

Robert Bernardo goes old-school and shows how to upload/download and convert with the use of a Commodore, modem, and shell account.

Finally, the "project engineer" shows how to use the newly-built C64 "mystery Sound Ultimate Xpander hardware and Digimaster 64 software"!

Truly,

I'm bringing my Amiga 1200 desktop so that attendees can play games and demos on it. The A1200 has a Blizzard '060 at 50 MHz, 128 megs of RAM, OS 3.9, and a 2 gig CF hard drive.

Truly,

The good folks at ArcadeRetroGaming.com are sending us the latest MCC-216 (Multiple Arcade Computer) to try out at CommVEx. This VGA version will have the C64 NTSC, C64 PAL, Atari 2600, and new Amiga 500 cores! Fun for all who want to play with it.

Truly,

More presentations are pouring in. The additional ones are

CommodoreServer.com Game Server Service - Greg Alekel will demonstrate how easily and quickly you can design a multi-player on-line game.

High-Speed RS-232 Drivers - Steve Davison will go into programming techniques and driver virtualization.

Dick Estel will be attending and may give a talk on the GEOFont Companion.

We will have a SuperCPU 128 accelerator and Turbomaster CPU accelerator for attendees to use with games like Metal Dust and 3-D Construction Kit.

An update... Lars will also now be bringing in the latest, a Sam 460 running at 1 GHz.

Bill has withdrawn the KIM-1 from exhibition, as he has handed it over to Jeri Ellsworth.

Writing from London Heathrow Airport,

Now that the KIM-1 will not be show, I'm substituting it with a Commodore PET 8296-D.

A large machine,

I scrubbed down the PET 8296-D last night. Now it's clean and ready to go.

Truly,

Ack! In a sudden, last-minute message, Zach Weddington of the Viva Amiga film has cancelled out of the show. He cited that budgetary reasons for the cancellation. To say I am disappointed is an understatement.

Sincerely,
