The Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club once again held its C=4 Expo at the Drawbridge Inn in Fort Mitchell, KY, on May 23-24 2009. There were lots of good times and late nights as usual. If you missed this one, join us next time! Click on the pictures for a larger image.
The Drawbridge Inn welcomed us with open arms... |
...where an old friend was waiting for us. |
Unpacking my rig. We've all got this down to a science by now. Note the new padded monitor case! |
My machines, all set up (the one on the right has booted GEOS from a 1541 Ultimate). |
Let the expo begin! |
Snogpitch lets Joe Palumbo do some business on IRC. Note the webcam on top of the fire alarm. |
Jim (a.k.a jasmaz), Plus 4 guru, setting up with a uIEC. |
Roger visits Lori at the Commodore calculator table. |
Jim Brain in checked shirt, Pelleas in striped shirt. |
The handwriting is upon the wall... |
Six/Style. Thanks for letting me plug into your network! |
My project (which uses Six' network stack) is still only a proof of concept at this point. |
Dopple ponders the imponderable. His RS-232 adapters and "brainover" cables were for sale at good prices. |
Eric and Hellion discuss potato chips. |
Eric soldering uIEC boards under a microscope. Note the cookie sheet (silicon chip cookies?). |
The view through the eyepiece of the 'scope. |
Jim and Eric setting up for a fascinating demo in which Eric showed how he solders the components of the uIEC. |
A shot of the projector screen, which gave us a great view of how this intricate work is done. |
Cleaning the boards after they have been soldered. |
Prototype of the next iteration of the uIEC??? |
The VIC-20 Mega-Cart being put through its paces. |
Closeup of the Mega-Cart. No one was willing to pose with his shirt off... |
As often happens, someone walked in with a pile of stuff to sell. The RAMLink is mine, all mine! |
Another view of the hoard. Good prices can always be had at the expos! |
Somebody even brought a rare Lt. Kernal hard drive, although it wasn't for sale. |
The Lt. Kernal's host adapter. |
