The move of the classiccmp.org servers to the new datacenter caused a temporary outage in the RSS feed of new documents on Manx.

What was that old Amiga programming language...?

by jplist2008＠kiwigeek.com

So back in the early '90s when I was a boy scout (which is not usually a good start to a story) we had a camp leader who had a couple of Amigas. I'm certain one was a 1200, but I'm not sure that's relevant. At any rate, he had a BASIC-like programming language that allowed very easy manipulation of images and sound and used it to construct games. The magic thing was that he would very easily steal tiles, sprites, sounds and music from _commercial_ games which he could then drop into this language and manipulate. Now, I'm remembering this from across the void of time, but I remember being really amazed that he could so easily pull a sprite from a game and then reuse it. Did I imagine this, or does someone know what I'm talking about here? Cheers; - JP

Help with an IBM 3430 tape drive

by nigel.d.williams＠gmail.com

A good friend has a well preserved IBM 3430 tape drive, originally connected to an IMPI AS/400, and we are now hopeful that it could be reconnected to a slightly more modern AS/400, still IMPI and still SPD. This would give us a local 9-track tape capability: here are some pictures: https://picasaweb.google.com/118247290269860741639/IBM3430TapeDrive#5606377… What we are particularly interested to learn is whether we have the "master" tape drive, known as a A01 unit (that includes the controller electronics) or the tape-drive-only unit known as the B01 variant. We added a picture today (see very last picture) of the main controller electronics cage that shows several plug-in cards, is anyone familiar with these and can identify the variant by sight? we searched the entire machine looking for some designation that showed the model variant without success. So we assume it comes down to the controller cage, and we see empty slots so we wonder if it is the B01 variant.

USB trace analysis

I've used it in conjunction with USBMON to sniff mostly working USB traffic (ironically running in Windows in VMWare on a linux box) to reverse engineer mostly-working protocols. I also used some perl scripts for trolling through the usbmon output dumps. Tim.

VCF East 9.0 postponed

by evan＠snarc.net

VCF East 9.0, scheduled for May 18-19 this year, is postponed to next year. That's because our venue sustained some Sandy-related damage. It's nothing unfixable (and no artifacts in our museum were harmed), but we are not certain about having the buildings repaired in time for the show. So, in spring 2014, we'll host VCF East 9.1. ;) However we will probably have a swap meet and/or other smaller events this year. Details TBD. In the meantime, there's VCF Southeast 1.0, VCF Europa, and VCF Midwest this year. (I don't know the details about Southwest or UK.) Sellam is still looking for someone * immensely qualified * to take over VCF West. The person MUST: 1. have proven experience and success in running a sizeable convention; 2. be extremely reliable; 3. understand modern marketing techniques; and 4. have substantial time to devote to the show. If anyone's interested and qualified, then feel free to contact me, and I can help you understand what's involved.
