The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VI.. Stop In!!!

[Running Bear]

Well I didn't make any headway on Oliver's train adventure. Didn't put the first line to paper even. Instead I got some other things done. Small things but they still took up more than their share of time. I was getting tired of having to change out diskettes on the //e every time I wanted to play another game or copy some diskettes or use one of my word processor programs. So I pulled the drive controller out of my mothers old IIe and put it in my //e and added two more disk drives. Now I can work on Native Fury and keep a backup copy on drives one & two on slot five and I can use drives one & two on slot six for the other stuff I mentioned earlier. Plus slot six is the only one the CP/M utilities will run on.

I also picked up some stuff I ran across. A new drive controller for my mothers old IIe ($15.41). They normally run $20-$25 or more, sometimes $40+ so when I saw that one I snatched it. I also picked up a 25-pack of Arvey single sided, double density 5.25" diskettes with labels, write protect tabs and sleeves included. There are probably some people who don't even know what a 5.25" floppy disk looks like without looking it up. And I picked up five games. Load Runner, Big Quest, Kid's Adventure, Earthquest and Grungy Towers (a Commodore game rewritten for Apple). In all I spent less than $50. These days I could spend close to that on one RTR freight car and not get near the same amount of enjoyment from it.



It's past time for me to call it a night. See y'all tomorrow.
