The Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club (CCCC) held an expo on June 3 and 4 just outside Cincinnati (Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, actually). The site was the Drawbridge Inn, a hotel with great meeting facilities. (Click any picture for a larger image.)
A friendly sign at the entry. |
A slight adjustment to the hotel's medieval English theme was required... |
Six wrote a demo for the occasion. |
Exhibit hall. Open machines in front, demo tables at rear. |
Joe Palumbo's table. Note the SuperSnapshot cartridges on the chair on the left; Joe is the official source for these now. |
Items on sale by the CCCC club. |
The Amiga contingent was present as well. |
Jim Brain explaining one of his latest projects. |
A hybrid machine that acts as a multimedia conversion workshop (a shotgun wedding between Commodore and Linux). |
A friendly PET just waiting for human affection. |
An MSD dual floppy drive being put through its paces. |
If you've ever heard the story about the expo where a Datasette was disassembled to build a swipe reader for hotel key cards... well, this is it! |
This is one of my own machines, set up to play stereo SIDs. |
Six and Elwix of Style doing what they do best. |
Elwix, codin' up a storm. |
Closeup of Six' rig (note the RR-Net with blue Ethernet cable sticking up). |
Please don't feed the bears. |
Jim Brain demonstrating his micro-IEC project. |
Jim's second demo was of a configurable keyboard which can emulate those of many C= machines as well a PC's. |
Leif Bloomquist working on some code that uses Six' new "netlib" TCP/IP stack for the C64. |
Leif demoed GuruTerm, a C/G terminal that uses the RR-Net ethernet card (no PC proxy). It uses the same uIP stack found in the Contiki operating system. |
Leif made a bit of history by successfully demoing GuruTerm using a wireless connection (via an Ethernet to wireless bridge)! |
Jim Butterfield was present and gave an informative and enjoyable talk, starting with "everybody knows this, right?"... |
...and continuing with How Not To Program ("now don't go home and write code like this!"). |
Jeri Ellsworth trying to look mean :) |
It's karaoke time! |
Everyone wants to join in the fun. The karaoke went on into the wee hours... |
