Happy Thanksgiving, C= and Ami aficionados! The Fresno Commodore User Group has its next meeting from 11 a.m. to 1+ p.m., Sunday, November 21, at The Pizza Pit Restaurant 2705 N. Blackstone Ave. (corner of Blackstone and Princeton) Fresno, California This month we'll look at photos and video from the October 22-24 Amiwest Show. There will be a demonstration of music synthesizer program, PetSynth, with a Commodore PET 4032 computer and MSD-SD1 disk drive with JiffyDOS (well, JiffyDOS is not really necessary with the PET). Also we'll try to tie up any presentations not finished in September. I hope Murphy's Law doesn't strike, :) Bringing the massive PET 4040 drive was out-of-the-question, Robert Bernardo

 Murphy's Law did strike!  The PET 4032 displayed garbage characters

      Very interesting,

Murphy's Law did strike! The PET 4032 displayed garbage characters on the bottom half of the screen, and the MSD-SD1 disk drive wouldn't recognize a disk being inserted. Ah, well, I'll drop off the MSD drive to repair tech Ray Carlsen when I see him later this week. We did open up the MSD drive and looked at the two JiffyDOS chips (not one) that were on the board.
