@Final topic: A lab tour, which would be a 1yr update from the move would be great. It looks like both you and Bil have enough gear to stock a real museum. Also if a data sharing between systems has been completed (a question I raised in the first tour) can be described that would be a nice detail; its something too many of us collecting want to address. I had thought a Raspberry with programming its I/O would build a distributed approach (like 2 pins (clock+data) per 'system type' could be done but that's just a random thought. Thanks.
Generally, Goteks, SD, ethernet, serial, and sneakernet powered by greaseweazles is what I use to transfer data, usually, but it depends on the machine. The lowest common denominator seems to be hovering around ethernet and serial, though, for robustness. Except for really esoteric stuff.
It's GREAT to hear about what everyone was working on after Commodore. This is like hanging with three friends you've never met.
Great to hear about all this retro stuff!
I would love to know one day if Dave Haynie has looked at the PitStorm and the EMU ?
These are just lovely, still rocking my Amiga. :)
Woot!

Thanks, @@NybblesandBytes. I think we're all shufflin' the data around.
@@vcv6560 Pretty much. After all, it's nearly impossible to get a C64 to load paper tape, and an HP Serial Analyzer to load disks from an Amiga. :P
