Mattel Aquarius Computer - 2020 Virtual Meet & Greet

[1stage]

Hey Aquarius fans!

 

EDIT: I had the wrong Date here (corrected it), but the Zoom call is correct!

 

We're going to try for the first ever Mattel Aquarius (or Radofin Aquarius, if you prefer!) virtual meet and greet?

 

The virtual user group meeting will happen on August 8/9 (depending on where you live). It will begin at 21:00 London time (see chart below) on 15 AUG 2020 and will run for about 3 hours (or until we're either sick of talking, or we run out of interesting things to talk about).

 

Here's the FREE registration link:

Here's the VERY ROUGH agenda:

1. First Hour - Welcome & Introductions
2. Second Hour - Show and tell
3. Third Hour - Future of the Aquarius

Wrong date

Sounds like fun!  I'll have to see if I can rustle up something special for the event.

 

Question: I notice that the date in your post is August 15th, but the date in the Zoom appointment is August 8th.  Did you intend to move the event from the 8th to the 15th?  (Never mind, the 8th is the correct date.)

Hi, I have an Aquarius with a data recorder. 2 tapes came with it. These are Data tapes not Aquarius tapes.  Can anyone tell me how to find out what if anything programs are on the tapes.  

Thanks,

HJ

Hey Humblejack, if you can get the audio into a WAV or MP3 format, there are a few tools that can translate those into a data stream... from there, you’d need to try a few different emulators to see if they are readable.
