Next SCCAN meeting - Saturday, October 10

[RobertB]

Hi, everybody.
     It's been a long time in coming, but we have another SCCAN meeting on Saturday, October 10, from 2 p.m. to 4+ p.m..  This time it will be at an alternate location (and the site of our very first meeting a long time ago).  For more details on the location, shoot me an e-mail.
     We'll have all kinds of things to talk about.  Jason Greene will be into Commodore gaming end of it, and I'll be bringing the C64 Forever CD (for the PC), Shredz64 (Guitar Hero for the C64), and Amiga hardware to investigate like a Bodega Bay expansion for the Amiga 500.  If you're going to attend, don't forget to bring your stuff to show off/demonstrate, too.
     Of course, another important topic at the meeting will be the upcoming Sacramento AmiWest Show on October 16-18.
     See you at the meeting!

...Shredz64 (Guitar Hero for the C64)...

Yow, Shredz64 did not play correctly on Jason's C64 set-up with faulty SID chip, and it did not like my SX-64 (with its slightly different kernal).  In other words, we could not get Shredz64 going at the meeting.  There was a much better experience at the FCUG meeting the next day.

...and Amiga hardware to investigate like a Bodega Bay expansion for the Amiga 500.

It was quite wondrous to open that one up.  Not one but two hard drives in the unit, one being on the GVP Zorro card which also had 4 megs of RAM.  Photos to come at the SCCAN website.
