Yeah they went into the garage last week. Though I doubt anyone wants them as they been listed for ages now. It's a bit of a faff to take loads of stuff if nobody wants it. I've got like 50+ keyboards I don't know what to do with either :lol:

And last year I did a free to good home box, which I'll do again, so you can get rid of that stuff you've been keeping for that special occasion or for the in case I need it one day?

I was thinking of getting rid of some crap that way.

I generally bin the Marpet ram upgrades etc. But none will be complete and likely damaged. Again I doubt anyone would really be bothered about them. If I can find anything I will bring it, but wouldn't likely to be anything much.

The problem is everything is buried in my workshop and I won't have time this week to sort it all out. I've been trying to tidy up my workshop for the past few years. So I doubt it will happen this week, but will try :lol:

Well just fill up a box or two of tat and you never know.

(We can fit an average of 3-4 machines on each table; i.e. 3xC128's or up to 8 x ZX Spectrums :lol: )

Maybe we should try and hook up a 64 machine ZX network next year :D

Sounds cool. Would just love to see 64 Spectrums in the same room. :)

I will be bringing:

• Atari TT (with TV and OSSC)
• Atari Falcon (with "Sun" branded monitor and speakers)
• TF536 enhanced STFM (with TV and UltraSATAN)
• Atari Jaguar (with Samsung TV and extra controller)
• 2x 8-way power strips.
• Some A5 format signage for the above systems.

The theme... "Atari's 32 bit family"

Great! :)

So will one 6ft x 2 ft 6" table do the trick for you?

I think @stephen_usher is using up all the hall power supply by himself :lol:

Like I said last year, as long as everyone doesnt crank on their CRTs in unison, we should be fine. :lol:

So thankfully my tripod actually fits the camera. Not sure but may need balancing on top of a table :lol: I don't have a mic other than whats in the camera.So I don't know how well the audio will pick up.

It seems I can only record for 29mins on a 16GB card. I will bring a spare set of batteries but I doubt it's going to last that long on one set. I'll see if I can get a larger SD card this week from somewhere.

Does it have mic input? If so, what size jack plug?

What type card does it take?

(I may be able to sort both problems.)

Also, does it have/run from a PSU? In which case, you can leave it plugged in charging and just use the battery power for any moving around the hall recording (30 mins worth).
