I didn't end up putting this on our table, but I did make it up, in case Thom stopped by our table....

Another commentary before Lonny and I leave Warsaw for home.... That picture that has Ron in it.... there is that book "Alien Encounters" in our display. That book was from one of our Atari BBS Community Zoom meets where one of our newer friends actually did the layout/published that book back in the day on an Atari Falcon using Calamus! (He didn't write it, but just did the layout and such). So he gave us the link during the call and I was able to pick it up on Amazon and figured I had to include it in the table display (since it was discussed in a BBS call).

Forgot to mention... or... ask... Rob, did your brother sell an SX212 in box earlier this year? The guy I bought it from on eBay had the same last name and was from NY... so if that was him... that was his SX212. Otherwise, please disregard this message. 😆

Well, if the exhibitor map is to be believed (for VCF East)... then no. https://vcfed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/VCF_East_2024_Room_Layouts_2024_04_07.pdf If that map is right, it was about 76 tables total with quite a few vendors having more than one table. VCF Midwest was..... https://vcfmw.org/maps/ You exceed that number just at the top of the map. So I'd say it's at least 3-4x bigger. Some people weren't happy that we were not with the rest of the "Atari Crowd" but the Ataris really were kind of spread out (there was that one concentration by the SCAT guys in section P). We were E03/04/05 in the map, right by the rear restrooms (which were always nearly empty) and the concession stand (so you could run for a drink or snack when the lines were short) and you didn't have to worry about stepping in 😆 P or SCAT (oh come on, that's funny... I bet JP would appreciate it!)

Yeah... today I even went to find it through my "previous orders" page and got the same result. But I also noticed similar (as in exactly the same through a different Chinese "company") ones going for about $25 more at around $69 instead of $45.

I'm a little surprised. Most people on both sides seemed to love the guy. Regardless of his politics, he just had a way about him. I mean... any guy who could get Gorbachev to laugh at a Soviet joke.... right?

Lonny and I are still in Warsaw (our layover). Checkout is at noon so we're chillin' after a big free breakfast. I'll be home later today and I'll try to post what I have... but if not, I'll do it tomorrow (I'm still off work). Spoiler alert. Naked Falcon Oh, and here's something for you... after we checked in and got settled into our rooms in Warsaw, we went back downstairs to get some snacks. What we saw checking in was... shall we say.... for all four of them there was "no ambiguity" 😍

Like I said on AtariAge..... no modem... no RS232 interface.... therefore, doorstop.... junk.... worthless. 🤣

As I said on AtariAge... pretty common.

The Atari BBS list at http://www.sfhqbbs.org/ataribbslist.php now has fTelnet links for all BBSs, using Atascii (or ANSI) for 8 bit BBSs and ANSI for ST BBSs!.

We got the busy signal during our demo, but it was because I hadn't set up the wifi connection yet. And then I think I got it again when I had forgot the quotes around the "phone number"... but I never heard the 'connection' sound and then got the busy signal after that.

Really happy to see that it generated some good buzz! And just for the record, I actually did make tacos that night! 🌮

Good to know... thank you. I actually have two of these PSU's on back order that should be shipping this week so this was helpful.

Nah... that's just a myth. I'll put any one of my three hands on a stack of bibles and swear to it.

Why not?

Took me awhile to find a reasonably priced one as well... but I finally did. It arrived yesterday and the wifi modem is being shipped tomorrow.

CrazyBonz is working on that 1090 remake project. If you're interested he's one of the regulars on the Zoom chats.

We've actually talked about those Hayes replacement modems on the Zoom chat before... Really great project...

Pretty sure all STE's are 2 Roms. All the boards I ever saw were that way. As to writing them to ROM, I'd think they'd be too big. I've written EmuTos to rom and I think there is a MagiC! Rom version but can't say I've seen a Geneva.

Well, that's fair... but there also isn't anything wrong with pointing it out so it can be corrected.
