     Our July meeting was so successful that we didn't have enough time to cover everything!  First up will be the standard Amiga 600 running WHDLoad games and other apps from a CF card and only 2 MB of Chip RAM and no Fast RAM (slow... but it gets the job done!).  Then we switch over to the VIC-20, this time with a Commodore VIC-20 35K switchable RAM expansion with integrated SD2IEC, courtesy of Melbourne Console Reproductions of Australia, and C64/128/VIC-20CR/1541-II/1581 power supply, courtesy of Ray Carlsen.  Then we will investigate the brand new BackBit Pro cartridge from Evie Salomon.  This cart is not just for the C64/128 but with the optional adapters, it's for the VIC-20, Plus/4 (!), and Atari 800/XE (!!).  Does that mean I'll have to bring that latter computer to the meeting?  ;)

 

     Discussion will center around the Oct. 16-17 Amiwest Show in Sacramento and the Nov. 6-7 Commodore Los Angeles Super Show in Burbank, among other C=-related items.

 

          See you soon,
