Yes, I posted a link to another forum. It's easier to keep track of things in one place.

I'm in the north end of the Dallas Metromess.

maybe 68k will show

I can't see it without an account :/

Have you done any Amiga repairs before, RJ?

 

[68k]

Pencil me in. I should be able to make it.

No sir.

Kewl. I have you down.

 

[DanAdamKOF]

Alright, count me in.

Noted.

Anyone interested in playing around with the X68000?

It doesn't need "repairs", but I thought some of you might want to play with it. The FM Towns will be coming for sure.

 

[DanAdamKOF]

I'd play on it I guess. But I'd probably want to spend most of my time working on some random projects I have, regardless of chorensha being there.

Editing for my own purposes so I can check back later, here's some stuff I might want to work on while there:
Fix pause switch (dip 8) on my MV2F
Look at headphone jack on MV2F (I think a solder joint is cracked)
Replace PCB feet on MV2F
Replace battery on MV2F
Possibly do sound cap kit on MV2F (I think it needs it now?)
Wire up some RGB stuff if I haven't already
Work on some joystick mods if I haven't already
(longshot) Possibly work on a supergun I plan to build
(longshot) Get this damned Amiga running lol :/

 

[68k]

Well the FM Towns will be coming for sure as I would like to upgrade the CPU.

This is so awesome. I wish I had the time or money to come out, but I guess it would be smarter to just take a Elec Eng class.

I wish I was in the US... that is going to be a very interesting party...

@channelmaniac: if you still have some some PC030CM chips available, I would like to buy one or two from you. I still need to fix a Taito Bubble Bobble board. Thanks !

 

[channelmaniac]

I do. Are the ones you have broken physically? They tend to not go bad... but if you don't have a coin counter connected you'll need to set 2 jumpers (which may not be populated) on the board or it won't coin up properly.

I'm not allowed to read your post over at KLOV even after loggin in, so I don't know if you need different kinds of repairable boards or not.

I have an old Sega Ninja (or sometimes called Ninja Princess) board that has some weird graphical issues. The SEGA NINJA letters on the title screen are wavy pink and white instead of normal... and in game, it seems like colors are off with white or pink as well.

Do you need boards to work on? I can send that out if you need something... the game itself works fine (tested issue on original cab as well as with jamma adapter on my candy), so that may just be a graphical trace or fix somewhere...

let me know and i'll be happy to send it over for your party. if you destroy it trying to fix it then that's OK as long as everyone learns something

nice !
I do not have any of those chips. On the non-working Bubble Bobble board that I have, it has been removed.

KLOV won't let me view. Argh! When and where? I am there.

Bring your FMT Marty!

Also Raymond, I found that CPU buried in a box, so I will bring it with me.

My house... Highland Village, TX - next to Lewisville. 4/21.

Is that date good for you? If so, I'll put you on the list.

I would like to gently raise my hand for the weekend after [Apr. 28] or the weekend before. [hides under desk]

 

[channelmaniac]

Sorry, already written in stone. Enjoy your birthday!

how did you?...I mean...you...[realizes its on my profile] haha

Maybe next time [kicks old tin can]

 

[68k]

Bump!

Things are looking good for the 21st, barring some unforeseen work event. I'll probably be there earlier in the day.

Raymond, let me know how much I will owe you for the CPU swap.

I'll give you a call closer to the event to get those directions again

 

[channelmaniac]

Sounds good. Bring a 12 pack to the party and we'll call it even.

Hi, new here, but I'd like to join in and maybe get some help on this MVS 2 slot I've acquired, if that's ok.

 

[channelmaniac]

What's the 2 slot doing?
