I'm still on; just been travelling, getting over jet lag, and then hit with computer problems (sad laptop battery; sad laptop with DNS issues).

Plan is to see what I can help with (MGC, the games archive website) if I've not left any of those too late.

See you this weekend.

A few hours ago I got back from driving around Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Wor..Leciestershire in a baking oven. A few cups of tea and a tub of ice cream, and I'm going to get some kit ready to go over to Halifax tomorrow.

[jbnbeeb]

I'll be bringing:
Master 128 - with it's intriguing display corruption that only shows up on Tricky's games (even though everyone elses Masters display ok)
BBC B
CUB monitor
Laptop + LCD screen
Matchbox co-pro

..and my latest minor update to my Tequila Worm work-in-progress game. You've no idea how much I've been pulling my hair out re the intricacies of a hardware-scrolled double buffered screen this week

[danielj]

I'll be along Saturday Morning by 9. If there's no table for me, I'll be having words

Will bring MDFS, cabling, sockets and clock, master+copro, monitor, riscpc, soldering gubbins, world's supply of kynar to see if I can't get this riscpc motherboard back in the land of the living... Better bring some flux and IPA too. Also, scope, multimeter, xilinx programmer and kryoflux.

And a transit.

Is anyone fetching an eprom ERASER?

Yes, I have a Ground Control UVIPAC packed. Not great, but will erase a few EPROMS.

That reminds me - is anybody taking a User Port MMC interface with them? I want to see if I can get MMC-ADFS to recognise if it is absent.

Well, just packed my stuff ready for tomorrow. I think I am going to need a bigger car!

Master with datacentre, HDD and copro, eprom writer and eraser, 3.5" and 5.25" drives. UK101 and box of related lovelies. Raspberry Pi and FUZE box. Lots of tools and electronics gubbins for some serious UK101 upgrading.

See you all about 9:00 tomorrow morning.

I'd love to see some captions, if you (or anyone) can be bothered, to put some faces to names.

[Arcadian]

Hi, we're all at the curry joint at the moment but I'll endeavor to add some captions etc soon.

[BigEd]

Much appreciated!

[flaxcottage]

Just got home so that I can see something of my daughters who came home this weekend.

It has been a great meet with lots going on, some of which I actually understood!

[Arcadian]

Captions added - I trust they are to your satisfaction

Very much so - thanks!

Thanks to Ian's Econetted Atom I was able to finally get the Atom support working in SoftMDFS. The Atom NFS is so primitive it asks the server for the catalog header in plain text, a function not supported in any file server after Level 1 - until now!
