The Epson HX-20 Part 1 Hello everyone, and welcome to episode 94 of the Floppy Days Podcast for October, 2019, where this month we will be talking about one of the world’s first portable computers: The Epson HX-20.  Thank you, Terry Stewart, for your thoughts about the HX-20 to lead off the show. For those that want more information from Terry, check out his Website and Youtube channel where he has a terrific video on the HX-20, as well as lots of information on other vintage computers. I’m extremely happy to announce that my good friend, and one of the godfathers of vintage computer podcast, Mr. Earl Evans, will be my co-host for this topic.  It’s always a thrill to have Earl join me on this podcast as he and his Retrobits podcast were the inspiration for Floppy Days. It turned out that Earl not only knows the gentleman I interviewed last month, Chris Rutkowski, but he also used to work for Epson and supported the HX-20 and its successor the PX-8.  He also owns a couple of machines. As a result, Earl is able to provide great insights into the HX-20 and is a perfect color commentator for this topic. I know you’ll enjoy Earl’s contributions to this show. It turned out we have so much material to cover that I’m breaking this topic into 2 parts.  This month will be part 1, and Earl and I will cover HX-20 history, tech specs, and peripherals.  Next month will be part 2, in which Earl and I will continue coverage by discussing how to use the machine, emulators, software, ads and appearances, modern upgrades, Web sites and more.  In addition, I was able to get interviews with a couple of gentlemen who have done recent work around the HX-20 in the areas of emulation and modern upgrades. So, we have a lot to cover and a short time to get there!

Tout le monde avait fini par penser que l'on ne reverrait plus le podcast d'AmigaImpact... Mais, tel un phoenix, il renaît de ses cendres (ou alors, c'est un zombi et il est mort-vivant, à vous de voir). Pour fêter cette rentrée scolaire 2019 comme il se doit, le podcast a revêtu son plus beau costume et revient dans une formule "classique" qui ne révolutionnera pas les podcasts mais qui a au moins le mérite d'exister. Ce podcast est d'ailleurs un podcast spécial dédicace à Tarzin et Daff, sans qui ce podcast ne serait pas (en effet, c'est une repompe à 93% de la rubrique actualités de juillet/août d'Obligement et à 4% des tweets de Tarzin, le reste étant les bêtises que BatteMan aura pu dire au micro). Ce podcast ne vous apprendra sans doute pas grand chose, quoique qui sait, et ne se veut pas exhaustif, comme d'habitude. Pour la jaquette, il s'agit d'une jaquette de jeu choisi par "girafe" sur IRC. Il a donc choisi le jeu Crafton & Xunk, un jeu Amstrad et Atari... jamais porté sur Amiga... La prochaine fois, on vérifiera (mais la jaquette est belle, donc il est à moitié pardonné). Pour la musique de fin, ce sera le Welcome Theme de Shadow of The Beast par Banjo Guy Ollie, un plaisir pour toutes les cages à miel ! Bonne écoute, et à bientôt !

Good morning Amiga ! Voici enfin venir un nouveau podcast, le tant attendu podcast 82. Pour celui-ci, nous inaugurons une nouvelle formule puisque, une fois n'est pas coutume, le podcast ne revient pas sur l'actualité du moment. En effet, nous avons eu la chance et le plaisir d'échanger avec Astrofra sur son parcours Amiga, sur ses développements pour la demoscene, et pour Athanor 2 (le jeu d'Eric Safar).Astrofra, en plus d'être fort sympathique, a quelques anecdotes à vous dévoiler. Nous espérons que ce format vous plaira. Cette entrevue sera précédée d'une musique d'Arcis, groupe norvégien originaire d'Oslo, intitulée Atlantic Sun et issue de leur album Echo Eternel. Elle dure 3 petites minutes et est le morceau du moment d'Astrofra, qu'il souhaitait partager avec vous. Et pour conclure le podcast, vous pourrez écouter la musique d'Athanor 2 : La légende des hommes-oiseaux, musique composée par Hervé Monchatre aka Tom&Jerry, pour la version CPC du jeu d'Eric Safar. Tous les sujets abordés, avec les liens qui vont bien, sont disponibles juste ci-dessous. Bonne écoute à tous, et n'hésitez pas à faire part de vos remarques et idées via l'actualité dédiée sur AmigaImpact.org, via Twitter (@batteman ou @amigaimpact) ou bien par mail.

The Commodore Vic-20, Part I Hello, everyone, and welcome to Episode 73 of the Floppy Days Podcast, where modern computers are simply considered peripherals to the classic computers.  My name is Randy Kindig.  In the computer timeline, we’re still squarely in the year 1980.  In that year, a breakthrough computer, with a great keyboard, color graphics and sound was announced for under $300.  Of course, if you’ve been listening to the last few episodes of the podcast, you know that we’re talking about the Commodore Vic-20.  William Shatner said it best in the TV ads of the time: “The wonder computer of the 1980’s: The Commodore Vic-20”.  So far on Floppy Days, we’ve covered the history of the machine from the perspective of three different gentlemen: Brian Bagnall, historian; Neil Harris, member of the Vic Commando Team; and Michael Tomczyk, leader of that same Vic Commando Team and assistant to Jack Tramiel.  In this episode, friends and fellow podcasters Jeff Salzman and Todd George, help me go through tech specs, peripherals, books, magazines, emulators, Web sites, and more for this groundbreaking machine.  As there was a lot of material to cover, rather than making an extra-long episode, I’m breaking this topic up into 2 different shows.  So, I hope you enjoy part 1 of this episode about the Vic-20.  Before we do that, I want to thank Brent Santin and Peter Cetinski for sharing their memories of the Vic-20.  Later in the episode Brent has some additional memories that he shares with us as well.

Interview with Brian Bagnall, Author “Commodore, A Company on the Edge” Welcome to the Floppy Days Podcast, where old computers survive to tell another tale.  My name is Randy Kindig.  In the previous couple of episodes, I covered the history of the Vic-20 computer with the help of Neil Harris, Brian Bagnall, and Michael Tomczyk.  Although I used some audio clips from each of those gentlemen to walk through the history timeline, I actually have a full-blown interview with each that I want to share with you over the span of three episodes.  I’ve already published the interview with Michael Tomczyk, leader of the Vic Commando Team and assistant to Jack Tramiel.  Next up, I am publishing the interview with Brian Bagnall, author of the book “Commodore, A Company on the Edge” and who is working on the follow-up book “Commodore: The Amiga Years”. Before we get to that, I will very briefly cover upcoming shows and a bit of feedback, but then we will get right into the interview with Brian Bagnall.

Interview with Michael Tomczyk, Vic-20 Commando Team Leader at Commodore Welcome to the Floppy Days Podcasts, where old computers are the best computers and new old computers are even better.  Last month, I covered the history of the Vic-20 computer with the help of Neil Harris, Brian Bagnall, and Michael Tomczyk.  Although I used some audio clips from each of those gentlemen to walk through the history timeline, I actually have a full-blown interview with each that I want to share with you over the span of three episodes.  For this episode, I will be publishing the interview with Michael Tomczyk.  Michael was with Commodore for some time, was an assistant to none other than Jack Tramiel, and was the leader of the team known as the Vic Commando Team.  He was happy to talk about his time at Commodore and turned out to be a very interesting interview and a great guy with which to talk. Before we get to that, I do have a few housekeeping items to cover, such as a few new acquisitions, some brief news, and a bit of feedback.

The Commodore Vic-20 - History, with Brian Bagnall, Michael Tomczyk, and Neil Harris Welcome to episode 69 of the Floppy Days Podcast, where our computers may be old, but that’s why we love them. In the vintage computer timeline, we are in 1980.  The next computer I want to discuss that debuted that year is the Commodore Vic-20.  The Vic-20 is significant because it was the first color computer to sell for less than $300, at a time when other home computers with color graphics were 2 to 4 times that amount.  It also was the first home computer of any type to sell over 1 million units. In this first episode about the Vic-20, I want to cover the history of this machine: why it was developed, some of the stories around its development, what happened after its release, and when it was canceled.  To that end, I contacted some notable persons that were involved with the roll-out and support of the Vic-20, as well as a person who was involved in documenting Commodore’s history.  The first person I contacted was Michael Tomczyk, who was an assistant to Jack Tramiel at Commodore and who led the so-called “Vic Commando Team”.  Michael was intimately involved in the marketing and support of the Vic.  In addition, a key member of his team, Neil Harris, agreed to help with this episode as well.  And, finally, I talked with Brian Bagnall, who you might recognize as the author of “Commodore: A Company on the Edge”.  This is an amazing line up of people who are very familiar with the Vic-20 and its history and I’m very lucky to have been able to get their assistance with telling its story. Before we jump into that, I will cover a few new vintage computer items I’ve acquired, cover a bit of news, and cover a bit of feedback I’ve received.
