Hi Mayfly,
I am Tom Luff with the Toronto PET Users Group, next Thursday, Dec. 15 we will
be having our monthly Commodore meeting. If you could bring your uIEC, C64
keyboard and power supply as well as any drives, (and their external power
supplies) and serial cables you were using when the failure happened, we will
supply a monitor. There will be a few of us there who will be able to help you
out. And better advise Jim as to what is going on. I just purchased a uIEC at
the WOC and I will bring it in as well.
Please check in with me and/or Leil Bloomquist when you arrive.
For more information as to where the meeting is held please visit

If you would like to talk with me before hand call me at 416-931-7799 after 7
pm weeknights or any time Saturdays or Sundays.

any cartridges. It is a new-style C64. I'm located in Toronto in the west end
in the St.Clair & Bathurst area. RETRO Innovations wrote:
