In discussion we'll talk about the current fires affecting Commodore members in the Los Angeles area, the February Vintage Computer Festival SoCal, the April Los Angeles Maker Faire, and especially the April 26-27 Commodore Los Angeles Super Show.
In hardware, we look at the Greaseweazle v4 newly-built into a case and having a 3.5” disk drive and a 5.25” disk drive. (Greaseweazle is a small, electronics board which permits “versatile floppy drive control over USB. By extracting the raw flux transitions from a drive, any diskette format can be captured…” and thus it can transfer a floppy disk into a disk file and vice versa.)
In software, we have the A600GS and/or the AmigaOne A1222+ with the latest Amiga games, like Revenge of the Grinch, Santas Present Drop 4 – Grunge’s Revenge, Ami Robbo 2, Yoomp!, the Rastan demo game, the Vigilante demo game, and Bunnito’s Feast. The Ultimate 64 returns with the latest C64 games, like Tank in a Dungeon, Soiled Iron, Santa’s Workout 2, Captain Ishtar 2, Toki C64 demo game, the Pretzelves, Twintris Deluxe, Golf Dash Extended, and Schreckenstein 65. The VIC-20 comes in with new programs, like Jumpman Pete, Island Beach Head, Cubelco 24, Christmas Card Greetings 2024, and Pacific Air War. The Plus/4 returns with the game, Feed the Pony, and the Official Technology Demo.
Sincerely,
Robert Bernardo
