cr1901 changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic. Channel logs: https://libera.irclog.whitequark.org/~h~yamahasynths
<andlabs>
well if it's a touring event I guess they're only listing the next four
<andlabs>
anyway I wonder if I should go to v. c. feast this year
<cr1901>
Yea, the creator idled in here very briefly a few months ago
<cr1901>
I'll see if I can get her to come back in for a bit

<dragonmux>
that was a little bit of a slog.. but we got there in the end, completing the full design, specification, layout and routing of a DC-DC in 5h, including detailed part selection
<dragonmux>
had to draw a few footprints up too, and schematic symbols

It was a fun stream, will be there next week barring any unforeseen circumstances
<cr1901>
I will be there*
<andlabs>
[20:44:31] <cr1901>Yea, the creator idled in here very briefly a few months ago
<andlabs>
is there anyone we don't know yet? =P
<fseidel>
hell, wasn't motoaki takenouchi in here at one point?
<fseidel>
or maybe it was masahiko yoshimura...
<cr1901>
valsound was in here once
<fseidel>
huh, I didn't know about that
<cr1901>
It's been a while (pre-cancer) since I chat w/ him... I should reach out again
<andlabs>
oh also on this year's vcf east
<andlabs>
For this year the themes for the show are:
<andlabs>
1) IBM 5150 PC and its legacy
<andlabs>
2) Text adventures
<cr1901>
40th anniversary
<andlabs>
Bill Mensch : Co-design engineer for the MOS 6502 microprocessor
<andlabs>
Michael Tomczyk : Product Manager for the Commodore Vic-20
<andlabs>
Stefanie Allaire : Inventor of the C256 Foenix
<cr1901>
that's why
<andlabs>
a powerhouse of IBM 5150 celebration
<qu1j0t3>
well, when you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with
<andlabs>
(they at least got Scott Adams so #2 is at least celebrated, and also TIL Scott Adams is still alive)
<cr1901>
I hope that is not the same as the comic author
<qu1j0t3>
^
<andlabs>
nope
<andlabs>
Scott Adams (born 1957) is the creator of the Dilbert comic strip.
<andlabs>
Scott Adams (game designer) (born 1952), American game designer
<andlabs>
also I wonder if there are pictures of Scott Adams with Elvira from when Adventuresoft had a subsidiary called Horrorsoft
<cr1901>
I thought Mensch was the primary 6502 designer... didn't know until Chuck Peddle died that they were co-designers
<fseidel>
I think Mensch's contributions were mostly on the CMOS version?
<cr1901>
65816 was his work as well, IIRC the last CPU to be designed completely by hand (20,000+ transistors)
<andlabs>
huh
<fseidel>
oh, I'm very incorrect, he did work on both.
<andlabs>
so wati does he own WDC or something
<andlabs>
so mcuhf or thinking WDC just licensed the design from Rockwell
<fseidel>
not sure if "owns" but he is the CEO
<qu1j0t3>
cr1901: wow that's a long week
<andlabs>
but yeah they probably should change their theme
<andlabs>
"I know nothing about this trange hardware architecutre that ruined my hopes and dreams"

oh
<andlabs>
meanwhile huh is graphing calculator missing from macintosh.js
<andlabs>
yes I know just downloading the x86-64 one that I bought form the original author would have been faster but I didn't expect this to be missing vital system components goddamnit
<andlabs>
had to get something called TomeViewer to get it out
