We have a lot on our agenda this month. In hardware, we try out at the new Unijoysticle 2+, a bluetooth adapter for bluetooth controllers (joysticks, gamepads, etc.), for the C64 and the classic Amiga. https://retro.moe/unijoysticle2

Then, courtesy of Amigastore.eu, we look at the external Gotek drive for classic Amigas; Bruce N. may bring his A2000 so we can try out the Gotek on that. If the A2000 isn’t present, we’ll see if it’ll work on the A500 with Vampire 500 v2. For the C64, we have the classic Muppet Learning Keys – a giant touchpad – obtained from Wayne and Sonia Aller who had a private school with C64’s and VIC-20’s back in 1984.

In software, we have Attack of the PETSCII Robots for the C128, this time with a Super Nintendo controller for the adapter that came with the boxed game. Of course, the Ultimate 64 will be there with plenty of new software releases collected in January and February.

Discussion centers around the June 25-26 Commodore Los Angeles Super Show in Burbank and a possible exhibit at the April 2 City of STEM which will be at the Columbia Space Center, in Downey, California, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.. cityofstem.org

Truly,

Robert Bernardo
