Next FCUG meeting - Sunday, March 19 |
| News posted by RobertB on 15-Mar-2017 6:53:58 (933 reads) |
Happy Spring, C= and Ami aficionados!
The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to 2+ p.m., Sunday, March 19 at --
Bobby Salazar's Mexican Restaurant
2839 North Blackstone Ave. (corner of Blackstone and Michigan)
Fresno, California
(559) 227-1686
For discussion, we'll talk about the May Maker Faire, the June Pacific Commodore Expo NW, and the July Commodore Vegas Expo. This time, we look at part 3 of the newly-released film, "Viva Amiga: The Story of a Beautiful Machine." Also I'll have information for member Louis about his CommVEx presentation on modding the Plus/4.
In hardware, we'll try out the Final Expansion 3, Rev. 11, for the VIC-20. We'll examine the SwinSID Ultimate for the C64 and C128. For member Brad, I'll bring back the Kim Uno (KIM-1 replica), and perhaps he can figure out how to use it. Member Bruce may be bringing back his Amiga 2000 for us to replace the battery in the system. I will be bringing in the A2000 which will be at Maker Faire and at CommVEx. Refurbished by Duncan M., this one is loaded with a Blizzard 2060 50 MHz. board, 128 megs of Fast RAM, 2 megs of Chip RAM due to MegaChip, SCSI controller board with 8 megs of RAM, NewTek Video Toaster, Digital Processing Systems Personal TBC, A2065 Ethernet card, Digital Processing Systems Personal Animation Recorder (PAR), OS 3.1, SCSI CD-ROM drive, 4 gig SCSI main hard drive, 500 meg SCSI hard drive for the PAR.
At last month's meeting, we flailed around with the Bear Essentials and the Chalkboard Powerpad for the C64. This month it returns, but no more flailing, because now we have the instructions in order to use the program with the Powerpad.
Truly,
Robert Bernardo
Fresno Commodore User Group

P.S. Plus a there will be a box of complete C64 software packages, free for anyone to have.

Sorry about the extended outage.
We suffered a failure in the raid subsystem on the server on Friday and it took quite some time to repair and restore.
Please let us know in this thread if you experience anything odd since there were quite a few errors on the volume and we might have lost some data along the way

We missed seeing it last time, but this time I'll make sure we see the new C128 Video DAC from Pyrofer of England. Also we'll examine the second of Dave "Lord Ronin" Mohr's Amiga towers. Then there is the new SwinSID Ultimate from Hungary and the new Final Expansion 3 Rev. 11 for the VIC-20. (I'll need very tiny Torx or square-head screwdrivers to open up its 3-D printed case!)

ALERT! CommVEx 2017 moves back to Plaza Hotel! |
| Events posted by RobertB on 3-Mar-2017 7:10:20 (1334 reads) |
In late summer/early autumn 2016, our original venue for the Commodore Vegas Expo, the Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas, was unavailable for 2017 reservations. Thus, CommVEx was booked into the California Hotel. However, there was always a chance that CommVEx could return to the Plaza when reservations were to open in April, 2017.
The Plaza Hotel opened up its reservations early! As of March 1, CommVEx is now booked into the Plaza Hotel for July 29-30! With the return to the Plaza, CommVEx exhibitors and attendees will have the perks of the hotel -- Friday afternoon and evening set-up, unlimited Saturday evening showroom use, overnight storage in the showroom, and a relaxed Sunday take-down of equipment. As in years past, here is the schedule -
