[RobertB]

Happy Labor Day, C= and Ami comrades!

 

The next meeting of the Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network is Saturday, Sept. 9, from 2 to 5+ p.m. at

 

Panera Bread Restaurant

19662 Nordhoff Street

Northridge, California

(818) 407-9400

 

For discussion we’ll talk about the Amigas at the October 12-15 Amiwest Show in Sacramento and the Commodores and Amigas at October Bay Area Maker Faire in Mare Island. Also I’ll be visiting Ray Carlsen in late October (after the aforementioned shows), so if you have any Commodore 8-bit equipment or monitors, bring them and I will give them to Ray for repair.

 

Brush up on your DOS commands, because we’ll look at a Commodore PC20-III with 640K RAM, DOS 6.0, NEC v20 CPU, XTA-to-CF adapter going to a 2 gig CF card hard drive, CGA-to-VGA card, and Snarker Barker (Sound Blaster clone) 8-bit audio card. There is the re-repaired Amiga 3000, this time with Spectrum 24-bit video card running CyberGraphiX v4.3 software, an Ariadne-II Ethernet board, and a ZuluSCSI with 2 gig card replacing the mechanical hard drive, in addition to its Amiga OS 3.1 and 256 meg ZorRAM.

 

If we have any extra time, we’ll look at the latest games running on the Ultimate 64, and/or if Bernie brings his SAM440ep, we’ll see his latest updates to Amiga OS 4.1.

 

As always, feel free to bring any other Commodore and Amiga hardware/software that you wish to show off!

 

Truly,

Robert Bernardo
