I was capturing Daniel's panel about making Music on CV .... But I was getting so captivated that I stop recording and focusing on its presentation ...... Sorry, That was a selfish decision from me, as I wanted to hear everything he was saying... Bob's panel was also really interesting, but I did'nt know (at that point) , if I could record video of panels... Now, Bob should already know that I want this damn prototype for the museum! Bob is really a funny man! I already like him Hey Bob, were's my SD cart? .. .... I think somebody stole it! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Today's schedule 4:00 Mighty Mitchell Award competition - Jim Notini http://www.stickam.com/hardhatpsp Huh??? Seeing as I'm currently about 1,000 miles southwest of where ADAMcon 24 is being held and getting ready for a house full of family and friends for my daughter's birthday party, I don't see how I could be giving a seminar at the convention. I know at times that I truly amaze myself with how much I can accomplish simultaneously (you know, pick my nose and scratch my butt type of stuff)... but I don't think I could even pull this one off. Unless this is something else all together. Well, seeing as I might be a too bit busy to watch the live webcam, someone please video this as my interest is peaked!

hardhat Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Hi Jim, Well, according to our records, you won the Mighty Mitchell Award last year, and so are responsible for organizing it this year. I organized on your behalf. This year was a poetry writing competition. You had to write a Haiku, which is a 3 line poem with the first line with 5 syllables, the second line with 7 syllables and the third line with 5 syllables. Here are the submitted poems: 1. Coleco Adam Friends Family Convention Defunct? No! Alive! 2. Broken arm or not Quebec, amis, we're en route ADAMCON or BUST! 3. 9 hour road trip new friends and old are meeting ColecoVision 4. I came to ADAMcon and saw my friends and an ADAM left for home weary boned 5. Sony Nintendo Apple PC all will fail NOT A COLECO 6. ColecoVision your vision is our vision our passion for years. 7. LD A, 24 INC A; one more ADAMCON JMP SeeYouNextYear AND THE WINNER IS Rin with poem 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 As a special footnote to the event coverage, I would like to mention that the Arcade Controller that J-F left behind, which was used as the main prize in the raffle on Sunday, helped to bring in some much-needed money, which was used to pay some restaurant bills. Thanks J-F! According to Bob, you pretty much saved us from going into the red this year! I'm so sorry I didn't win the controller... Also, I would like to mention that I will be posting a Team Pixelboy News Bulletin tonight, with lots of juicy news bits. I wanted to do it yesterday evening, but I arrived home from Quebec city well after midnight, and I needed to go to bed right away since I had to go to work as usual this morning. So do drop by the AA forum tonight for some very exciting news! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamcon Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 J-F !!!! You KNOW that was my cartridge and you just slipped it into your own pocket!!!! BTW, Meeka -Doug's wife won the controller you brought as a raffle prize, of course, Doug is kind of kissing up to here so he can use it, but that is life. THAT was one AWESOME gift you brought for the big raffle THANK YOU !!!! AND it raised more that a few hundred dollars to support the convention!!! You guys are GREAT !!!

[bob] If you need the next convention and possibly the one after that completed funded and then some... sell me the 3 1/4" Dual Floppy Disk Drive enclosure! No, seriously. Also, in one of your presentations, you discussed a contact that you made with the person that wrote the ADAM Owner's Manuals (I think this was what I heard you say seeing as the audio was in and out for most of the convention including this presentation). I, and I'm sure many others, would love to hear or read about contacts like this that you have been so fortunate to make over the years through all your hard work, keeping the torch lit while so many others moved on and maintaining a website that gives you great visibility. Any chance of something like this coming to fruition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamcon Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 SEE?? I can't let go of the drive.....first of all, it is only a single drive with the wire wrapped prototype board next to it in the case (which fits into the cover slots on the ADAM even.....) Besides J-F wants it too, so I can't have you two fighting for it, sadly I will just have to keep it, I guess. YES, I have been in contact with the original SmartBASIC manual author and HAVE his disks on the subject. Written on a Televideo 805 proprietary 500k drive; stored in an attic for 29 years...............have not been able to crack into them yet, but DID present the emails at ADAMcon 24 and the gang got a kick out of his emails. Remind me when I get home this weekend to post them on AtariAge. the guy contacted me thru the ANN website and was blown away that anyone still used the ADAM and that it was still alive!!! J-F !!!!

Ah, J-F has enough toys and one of a kind stuff to keep him busy until the end of days, plus he doesn't even like the color of the ADAM!!! BTW, I included a pic of an ADAM that he just might like a bit more. As far as those Televideo disks, I think I heard you say that you are able to read some type of directory structure on them, but haven't had any luck actually pulling of the files or viewing them. Have you tried using an Editor program on an old PC (something with block edit options similar to File Manager on the ADAM) that would allow you to load and view a Block or range of Blocks and view the contents. If it works then you could save the contents to a text file and then transfer the new file(s) to another computer. Just a shot in the dark seeing as some of these old disk formats could be tough to read in even with the likes of 22Disk without the actual hardware that was used to create it and then you would need to track down someone that owns this old system in working order and hope he would help out. Ah, the thrill of the chase! Anyhow, that will be awesome to be able to read thru this email conversation when you get the chance to put everything together. Stuff like this is what makes our hobby so much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do drop by the AA forum tonight for some very exciting news! Quick update: I barely had time to catch up to all my e-mail and other things last night before a severe thunderstorm hit the Montreal area. I prefer to unplug my computer from the wall socket during thunderstorms (better paranoid than sorry) so I didn't have any time to prepare the news bulletin. Tonight, I have to prepare a package, drop it off at the post office and then go to the gym, so I'm not sure I'll have time to post anything tonight. Sorry for the wait, but there's only so much I can do with the time I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
