Next SCCAN meeting - Saturday, May 14
« on: May 09, 2016, 08:18:02 AM »
Happy Mother's Day, C= and Ami comrades!

The next meeting of the Southern California Commodore & Amiga Network is Saturday, May 14, from 2 to 4+ p.m. at

     Panera Bread Restaurant
     19662 Nordhoff Street
     Northridge, California
     (818) 407-9400

This month we'll look at an Amiga 500 with the late v8 motherboard and 2 megs of Chip RAM.  Also clear the decks!  I'll need lots of table space for an Amiga 2000 with Video Toaster running v4.3 software, a '040 Progressive Peripherals & Peripherals accelerator with 4.5 megs of RAM, a GVP HC+8 RAM board with 8 megs, a Commodore 2065 Ethernet board, and more.

In the 8-bit area, we'll look at a Ray Carlsen-modded VIC-20 which has been hacked to provide S-video.  We'll also have the usual C128, SX-64 and Plus/4 units with various programs.

Speaking of video, we'll examine a composite/s-video-to-HDMI converter that was used at the Commodore Vegas Expo last year.  Who wants to bring a small HDMI monitor?  :)

We'll view another part of newly-released video documentary, "Growing the 8-Bit Generation".

Bring anything else you wish to share!

          Sincerely,
          Robert Bernardo

Wish I could make it!!! I have family in town this weekend. How much room do they give for setups? I'd like to bring out my A4000T some time in the future.

We'll make it fit!  :)  The A2000 that coming this weekend is pretty big to sit on their tables, but that won't stop us.  ;)
