exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

Morning All.

I’ve got a fair bit of the CL planning done but now need to publicise with a few other websites, Facebook etc, what the day will entail and what will be on show.

@mrbombermillzy is once again finishing off the flyer and needs to know what you plan to bring, what you are doing a talk about, what you are selling, etc.

I’m going to see if I can get a mention on some of the local radio stations and the Northampton Chronicle. Could some of you please post on some of the other forums and Facebook groups or even try and get YouTube mentions.

So if you could reply with what you are bringing/doing or where you have posted the flyer (once complete) thank you all very much. Let’s make CL V2.0 a fun day like the first one.

Updated 07/09/23 who and what’s being displayed

@stephen_usher and his 030 Atari Crew.
@JezC and his whole hoard of ST stuff for sale.
@PhilC and his C128D and games consoles
@mrbombermillzy with slightly less stuff than last time.
@alexh with his Amiga, Atari ST and possibly games consoles.
@Steve’s H5 and upgrades.
@mgi with his Atari 65xe and Fujinet

Further details as I get them.

At a bare minimum I'd like to bring my H5 showing off the exceptional work @dad664npc has been doing on Atari PiStorm. Hopefully by then the ET4000 emulation will be stable & can be shown to be a very nice upgrade for Atari systems in general. With the excellent 68k socket positions on the H5 the PiStorm really becomes a 'no brainer' upgrade in regards to being exceptionally versatile.

@Steve sounds like a good choice to me Steve, thank you.

I’m actually considering bringing my C128D, maybe my BBC B and possibly a Sega Dreamcast or Saturn.

Ooh! Ive got a 5.25" floppy somewhere that I can run some code that I made which can produce a 1024x300/600i screen on the C128D. I would maybe bring it along to see if it still works, if thats ok with you to test on your machine @PhilC ?

Any of the other machines sound great too!

@Steve Sounds good to me too!

@mrbombermillzy sure bring it along. I’ve got to make up an 80 column monitor cable for it too.

If its a straight 9 pin din to 9 pin din, dont bother, as I have one here. ;)

I’ve got a new scan converter which takes vga or Scart in, so it’s got to be one of those two.

Ah ok then.

However, I have 2 CRT monitors, both with RGBI inputs. Im looking to bring at least one (to sell perhaps), so thats another option to save you making up a lead! :lol:
