exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

Stuff sitting ready to go into the car this evening...

Just unplugged everything and got it ready to go. If nothing else, it stops me doing any more last minute fiddling / breaking / fixing.

Just at karate, gotta load up when I get home later.

All I'm thinking about is what have I forgotten!

I found the TX7 in the garage...need to check the Falcon etc. are behaving themselves and the pack up for an early start ,- given the 4+ hour drive each way...

Just realised that I still need to buy the tickets, so will sort that as soon as I get back from walking the Malamute!

Edit - bought the exhibitor tickets now...time to plug in teh Falcon & see how she flies!

Not sure quite when we'll arrive - aiming for between 11 and 12 but that depends on traffic and how many stops we need to make en route... :roll:

Those who were there last year, what was the plug socket situation like? I'm bringing a couple of four way extension leads but also can bring a long lead if we need one?

I'm bringing an 8 way and a 10m extension.

Long extension leads are a must.

Thanks Stephen, will bring the long one as well then.

Falcon boots and after a bit of fiddling it even allowed me to boot Logic 2.5...

I think I'm going to have to hope that everything else just works on the day or it will just be a static display item. :roll:

Now do I have any long extension leads anywhere...?

I'll bring an extension with me...

Safe journeys everyone!

Found a 6 way extension cable but it only has a short lead...will see if I can find a longer cable somewhere in the morning if I have time.

Also, can I find the box of 10x AA batteries I ut aside for the QY70....? Nope...
:headbang:

Oh well, I might have to buy some en route tomorrow - it needs 6 to power it (and I can't remember how long the last, I think it's pretty frugal but I'm getting to the point where I don't trust my memory anymore).

It eill have to do for now though, so it will be a hope if goes OK on the day kind of setup I guess.

What else have I forgotten...post code for sat nav to get me lost...exhibitor tickets...fuelled the car...got some kit to demo (maybe)...dunno.
I'll find out on the day I guess!

See you all tomorrow!
