@amigaman101

Will there be any internet access at the venue? Would be nice to demo amistore and other internet functionality on AmigaOS4.1 at the meet.

Hi Epsilon,

I believe that the venue does have internet access.  I will confirm at a later date regarding this.  Just need to make a few enquiries.

Yes it would be great to see the OS in action!  Looking forward to it!

Regards,
George

Any update on the internet access situation at the venue?

I would need ethernet cable access to the internet to be able to use it. I can bring a small 8 port switch along if needed for other people to connect to it also.

Looking forward to it!

I can't find the memory expansion, and it won't boot into the Workbench install I have without it....

I have a spare A603 you can use at the meet if that helps...I'll go and dig it up if interested..

@Epsilon

- At this stage I can confirm that there is wifi available.  Is this adequate for you?  I have made the request for ethernet and will find out this weekend if this is an option.  However one of the persons has said that they will organise a mobile internet modem as a backup option.

The key part for me is the ethernet connection, as the X1000 needs an ethernet connection to the internet. It doesn't have a Wifi card in it, only an ethernet port. I plan to bring an 8 port switch so others who need it can share the connection also, assuming it is available.

Given the bulk of the X1000, monitors, etc, I didn't plan to bring much else as setting it up will take some time by itself.

The intention is to show newly released and installed AmigaOS4.1 Final Edition on it, RunInUAE with JIT, various apps and games and the Internet functionality (Timberwolf, Odyssey, SMTube, etc), and things that need internet connectivity like AMIStore, etc.

If internet via ethernet cable is not available i think we would miss out on being able to show a lot of stuff on the x1000.

Please let me know if ethernet will be present so I can make the decision which Amigas to bring as I need to pack them up in advance on sunday evening as Monday is a normal work day.

Looking forward to it!

Hi Epsilon,

At this stage I can report that there is a very good chance (85%) that there will be internet in the form of ethernet available.

There are three options that we are working on:

1. Having a mobile modem that has an ethernet port;

2. Connecting to the internet port in the current room (internet is currently not working and will probably be fixed tomorrow);

3. Having a relatively long ethernet cable that can run from your computer/port into another room where a working modem is present.

We believe that there is a long cable present that you can use, however you may wish to bring one along just in case.

Kind regards,
George

ok, thanks for this update. Having the ethernet will make a difference to what I can demonstrate. How long does the "long cable" need to be? 5m, 10m?

Look forward to catching up tomorrow.

Hi All,

Last night I attended the Adelaide Amiga Meeting at  Clarence Park community Centre. It was a great night with plenty of  Amigas and Amigans keen to discuss all things Amiga!

Thanks to AmigaMan101 for organising the event!

I have written a blog post covering the event, with plenty of pictures here:

I hope you enjoy it!

Hi AmigaMan101,

Thanks for showing some of your pictures from the Adelaide Amiga event - it was a great night!

Given the success of our former get-together, another Amiga event is being hosted here in Adelaide on 25 May 2015.   This is on a Monday night which will coincide with the Adelaide  Amiga/Computer user group that is held weekly in the same venue.

Sounds great! Count me in :-)

By the way given the close proximity of the date to the 30th Anniversary of Amiga perhaps we can just call it the Adelaide Amiga 30 event?

Certainly make it more attractive to bring more Amiga's along and try to get a complete wall covering the amiga history happening! I can certainly help with some of that :-)

Bump!

Reminder that the Adelaide Amiga 30 meeting is on tomorrow (Monday May 25th) from 7:30pm.

Details and location maps are here:

I will be there with Amigas in tow, and I am looking forward to seeing plenty of Amigas and hopefully many Adelaide based Amigans there too! :-)

Hi all,

Final reminder that the Adelaide Amiga meeting is on tonight, starting from 7:30pm!

I plan to bring my Sam460CR (AmigaOS4.1FE), Powerbook G4 (MorphOS 3. to show off a soon to be released Amiga game called Wings Battlefield in LAN gaming mode for people present to try out, and a CDTV on display for the Classic Amiga nostalgics!

I know some others are bringing Classic Amiga equipment too - promising to be a lot of fun!

Look forward to seeing you there! :-)
