  • Episode 41 - CoCoTALK! After Dark #2

    Original video episode YouTube link:  https://youtu.be/OtdgWeD7N4Q

    This week's CoCoTALK! was not live, it was recorded Friday night as our second ever CoCoTALK! after dark, no agenda, no live audience, just a couple of guys talking CoCo, and perhaps having some adult beverages.

    On the call: Bill Nobel, Boisy Pitre, Grant Leighty, CoCoMan Jason Reighard, Bruce Moore, David Ladd, John Linville, John Strong, Mark Overholser, Mike Rowen, Neil Blancard, Paul Fiscarelli, Paul Thayer, Richard Lorbieski, Ron Delvaux, Simon Jonassen, and Steve Batson.

    We did a little bit of around the room project updates.

    David Ladd explained a 6809 emulation bug he discovered that's being addressed and showed us how to create PMODE 4 image using MS Paint in Windows and converting it to work on the CoCo.

    Boisy Pitre gave us an update on the DriveWire server for Mac he's working on.

    John Linville showed off a cool joystick adapter for the Alice computer, French cousin of the MC-10

    And we heard updates from just about everybody on the panel as far as what they are working on, and had a lot of random chat, and a few laughs.

    Enjoy!

  • Episode 34 - Special guest host Grant Leighty!

    Welcome to CoCoTALK! Episode 34, the first live CoCoTALK! we've had in about 3 weeks. Due to home internet issues, ogStevieStrow has been unable to live stream the show, the past few episodes have been pre-recorded.

    Today Grant Leighty takes over as both the live stream host and the show host for episode 34.

    The primary topics discussed were Discord, the new audio/video chat application most of the panel of CoCoTALK! use to communicate behind-the-scenes, as well as some of the differences between using various emulators and real hardware.

    Next week we hope to be back to the regular program, thanks for sticking with us.

    We also get to hear from the Forest of Doom contest Winner, Paul Fiscarelli, and hear a bit about a cool project he's working on, a disk image explorer that allows you to view and manipulate disk images on a modern PC.
