Yet the ratio of photos and clues I only see you with coffee a sixth of the time? What sorta mods and extra hardware did you all have? It's been great seeing everyone's photos. I'll let you know when ours are up. We ended up having two systems at our meeting (surprise to me,
Bo Zimmerman showed up!). Ironically he found out about it through Berry's site so good job there
I brought my stock sx-64 with me to work and the meeting and had some samples of what it could do with Thunder Mountain's port of Pacman just for an immediate quick demo of the graphics and sound along side the arcade feel that you could have at home at the time. The other demo which Bo I think has used in the past as well was the Swinth demo.
At work there was a crowd for a while trying to figure out what it was and enjoying the demonstrations. A few folks took pictures with their phones and posted it on their facebook, etc. Lots of folks reminisced about their first computer which is always a fun conversation and memory. I had the book of
collectible microcomputers with me so folks were able to look around at other systems they remembered or find theirs to show to others. Several folks asked me additional questions throughout the next day or two about the system and a few even had some fan feedback to their post as well so good PR. Attached is a nice shot a coworker took of someone else playing on it in the office break room. Well, ok nm I can't figure out how to get the attachment to work.
The meeting went well other than our Pizza place deciding to cancel their dinner buffet this year but folks ordered and shared pizza. Bo was there catching up with the group. We actually had about (12?) folks attend but all were mostly there for the regular group/meeting. Bo had his sx-64 modded nicely. I do believe he has one of the ethernet cartridges but I don't think he brought it. His recent mod to the sx-64 he brought was the reset button and adding
Jim Brain's uIEC SD card and I believe he also has the JiffyDOS ROM installed as well. He showed a few games also (since he had just about all of them on his 4GB sd card in the thing) then booted into GeOS to show that ability.
