[2018-12-30 19:52:04 CET] <heinz> 8 pieces.
[2018-12-30 19:52:28 CET] <heinz> are rockets allowed in uk?
[2018-12-30 19:52:32 CET] <rune> Fireworks? They can be fun if you dont have pets thatare  scared.
[2018-12-30 19:52:51 CET] <heinz> <o pets. living in the city.
[2018-12-30 19:52:52 CET] <rune> Oh yes, there are always fireworks at Guy Fawkes, and new year
[2018-12-30 19:53:14 CET] <rune> Do you get the chinese laneterns?
[2018-12-30 19:53:15 CET] <heinz> do you have some?
[2018-12-30 19:53:26 CET] <rune> No, Im to tight to buy them now
[2018-12-30 19:53:44 CET] <heinz> what are chinese laneterns?
[2018-12-30 19:53:50 CET] <rune> Must be getting more scottish with my old age
[2018-12-30 19:54:44 CET] <rune> Basically smal hot air bolloons. Made out of paper with a small inflamable part to heat the air. They fly quite high and glow well
[2018-12-30 19:54:57 CET] <rune> Lots of mistaken UFOs when those go off
[2018-12-30 19:55:02 CET] <heinz> i now them.
[2018-12-30 19:55:19 CET] <heinz> they are used for birthday or marriage.
[2018-12-30 19:55:31 CET] <rune> Im not sure if they were banned or went out of fasion here
[2018-12-30 19:55:46 CET] <rune> Yes, any celebration really
[2018-12-30 19:56:03 CET] <rune> I havent seen any for a few years now
[2018-12-30 19:56:24 CET] <heinz> same as me.
[2018-12-30 19:56:42 CET] <rune> Any new Zeddy stuff on the go?
[2018-12-30 19:56:47 CET] <heinz> not seen for a long time.
[2018-12-30 19:57:08 CET] <heinz> nothing with zeddy. just vintage radios.
[2018-12-30 19:57:22 CET] <rune> Any further finding parts?
[2018-12-30 19:58:56 CET] <heinz> no.  
[2018-12-30 19:59:37 CET] <rune> I got the storage bins in my shed sorted out and the bench cleared.
[2018-12-30 19:59:54 CET] <rune> Just 60cm of clutter to cleafr off the floor next
[2018-12-30 20:00:26 CET] <heinz> prepared for more zeddies?
[2018-12-30 20:00:49 CET] <rune> Just fixing the ones I have. I do keep looking at ebay though.
[2018-12-30 20:01:25 CET] <heinz> do you have a zxnu?
[2018-12-30 20:01:25 CET] <rune> The keyboard I built is now fitted to one and is brilliant. Much better than that Memotech one
[2018-12-30 20:01:45 CET] <rune> Yes with vDrive in a DKTronics keyboard
[2018-12-30 20:01:49 CET] <heinz> what are the advantages?
[2018-12-30 20:02:13 CET] <rune> Plus the AY souncard - ZONIX clone you sent me
[2018-12-30 20:02:31 CET] <rune> With what keyboard or ZXNu
[2018-12-30 20:02:33 CET] <heinz> advantages of the new keyboard imean.
[2018-12-30 20:02:40 CET] <heinz> i mean
[2018-12-30 20:03:08 CET] <rune> The keys dont jam when pressed. Memotech needs direct downward press otherwise they can stick.
[2018-12-30 20:03:42 CET] <heinz> that is very important.
[2018-12-30 20:04:05 CET] <rune> So I have that for the Zeddy and a cutdown Speccy + 2 which also has a very nice keyboard
[2018-12-30 20:04:07 CET] <heinz> my keyboard is also very good with resoect to this.
[2018-12-30 20:04:32 CET] <rune> Yes, Im not sure if the key mechanism has dried out after 35 years
[2018-12-30 20:04:57 CET] <rune> But they werent very well built from what I here. Even if they do look very nice
[2018-12-30 20:05:34 CET] <rune> I used small keys so my Zeddy KB is about the same size as the original
[2018-12-30 20:06:02 CET] <heinz> the tema members here are waiting for the next meeting in mahlerts. they start counting the days.
[2018-12-30 20:06:20 CET] <heinz> one theme could be midi.
[2018-12-30 20:06:39 CET] <rune> Malherts seems to come around very quickly. Is it 1x year or 2x
[2018-12-30 20:06:54 CET] <rune> Midi on the Zeddy?
[2018-12-30 20:06:59 CET] <heinz> it is yearly.
[2018-12-30 20:07:13 CET] <heinz> next meeting 29th of march .
[2018-12-30 20:07:51 CET] <rune> It seems like a month ago the last meeting was held
[2018-12-30 20:08:04 CET] <rune> Are you presenting anything?
[2018-12-30 20:09:01 CET] <heinz> not sure, may be a demonstration with the apu.
[2018-12-30 20:09:50 CET] <rune> I have had a look at the Multiface. There were two Eproms in it
[2018-12-30 20:10:07 CET] <rune> Should have been 1 M27C64 and an 8K RAM
[2018-12-30 20:10:58 CET] <heinz> ram instead of eprom?
[2018-12-30 20:11:23 CET] <rune> Yes, RAM to go with the Eprom
[2018-12-30 20:11:46 CET] <rune> Eprom was in an zero force socket and RAM in normal socket
[2018-12-30 20:12:10 CET] <rune> Except the RAM was replaced by an Eprom some time in the past
[2018-12-30 20:13:08 CET] <rune> I need to go now, Liz wants to swap positions for the cars so she can get out to work tomorrow.
[2018-12-30 20:13:22 CET] <heinz> ok.
[2018-12-30 20:13:36 CET] <heinz> have a happy new year.
[2018-12-30 20:13:41 CET] <rune> Talk to you next week? have a great new year and careful with the rockets
