|  CommVEx questions for Peddle, Herd, Haynie
With the July 25-26 Commodore Vegas Expo (CommVEx) just 45 days away, the list of presenters and presentations grows longer, and my list of things to accomplish before the event grows more urgent.
CBM engineers Chuck Peddle and Bil Herd will be video-conferencing into the show, and CBM engineer Dave Haynie will be in attendance at the show. Though the day of the video-conference has not been set (Saturday or Sunday) and the format of the conference has not be determined, I am sure that there will be time allowed for questions from the audience.
With that being said...
If you have questions for Chuck Peddle, leave them here.
If you have questions for Bil Herd, leave them here.
If you have questions for Dave Haynie, leave them here.
If you prefer not to place your questions for them here, send them to me.
Like last year's telephone conference with CBM engineers Bil Herd and Andy Finkel, all forwarded questions will be asked.

I just got back from R.J. Mical's dinner party... my first time to his house. He was a very gracious and jovial host. The 2 or 3 dozen people there made for a spirited crowd. Though I felt out of my element with allthese people in the electronics industry of the Silicon Valley, I did my best to mingle. When talked turned to computers, I was quick to talk about CommVEx, Commodore, and Amiga. Of course, I invited those interested to make an effort to come to CommVEx.
Late into the party, Dale Luck appeared. I told him about CommVEx -- about how Dave Haynie was to attend, about how Chuck Peddle and Bil Herd were to video-conference into the show, about how Jeri Ellsworth was to set-up the video-conferencing and moderate. He smiled when I mentioned Dave's name and was genuinely interested in the show. He'd like to attend but no promises.
R.J.'s party ran until after midnight. I was the last out the door, and as I was leaving, I invited R.J. to CommVEx. He enthusiastically said that he would attend! I said that CommVEx has had more 8-bit Commodore people there than Amigans, but he emphasized that he wanted to meet the 8-bit crowd!
So if you have any questions for Amiga software engineer R.J. Mical, post them here or send them to me.
If you have any questions for Amiga software engineer Dale Luck, post them here or send them to me (just in case Dale shows up).

Question for Herd: The TED hardware manual states that TED is aimed at low end personal home computers of the 6502 family. Was the TED for sale to other computer manufacturers, or was the TED strictly an in-house resource?
Question for Herd: With the plus 4's user port, expansion port and incomplete PLA addressing (i.e., putting $FD1X on the address bus triggers the PLA FD1X output - the four LSBs could be gotten from the expansion port if wanted for further address breakout) was there any thought that this configuration would become a hobbyist's
playground in terms of adding hardware?

| Jam session with Dave Haynie at CommVEx v5
I just received this yesterday from CBM engineer Dave Haynie --
---------------------------- Original Message -----------------------
From: "Dave Haynie"
Date: Fri, June 12, 2009 4:16 pm
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[big snip]
Also, if there's any interest in putting together a musical jam session
(and space for it), let me know... we tried that some East Coast events
sometime back, with varied success, but usually lots of fun. Though I
can't exactly bring my PA system on the plane This was a tradition at C=
parties going back to the early days.
-------------------
I told him that we can provide all the equipment and that there are musicians in the Southern California Commodore-Amiga Network and the Clark County Commodore Computer Club (of Las Vegas). Those musicians will be there at CommVEx. But we are always looking for more! If you are so musically inclined, come on down and jam with Dave!

Question for Dave: Was the C128 a "stop gag" computer, as some C64 users suggest, or a genuine product designed to replace the aging C64 line without sacrificing C64 compatibility?

Do you mean "stop gap"?
