Cottonwood BBS
In an effort to consolidate my various
websites onto my own server, the
C64/128 BBS List is now located at
http://cottonwood.servebbs.com/cbm-
bbs-list.txt ... I'll still keep it
posted at the old address for a while,
but eventually it'll only be available
at the new address.
Additionally, the Cottonwood BBS Info-
rmational Website is now at
http://cottonwood.servebbs.com , and my
personal website is at
http://cottonwood.servebbs.com/wiskow
Simple HTML pages with a note providing
the new addresses have been posted at
the old addresses.
Amiga Forever runs on Eee pc & Onlaptop

I thought you might be interested in
seeing the Amiga OS running on the OLPC
and the Eee.
As we are putting the finishing touches
to Amiga Forever 2008, we just
previewed the Amiga emulation and OS
running unmodified from Amiga Forever
on both the OLPC XO and an Asus Eee PC:

Artillery Duel Network 1.0 Released
Here it is! The first non-beta release
of the first multiplayer game for
RR-Net, ETH64, and FB-Net.
http://home.ica.net/{$de}leifb/commodore/
duel/
Download it here:

?id=45526
Major update to the C64 PAL/NTSC core
FPGA64 for the C-One is now available
in V0.23 - Peter has re-written large
parts of the VIC-II code with the
result that DMA-delay now works
perfectly! Also, VIC-tricks like
displaying 9 sprites in the same row
are working correctly, and Mark
McDougall has contributed a joystick
emulation to the keyboard interface, so
the numeric keypad can be used as a
joystick. As always, the new version of
the core can be found on the download
page of this website. Thanks, Peter and
Mark! Final core bounty: We really
want the board to leave beta state now.
The final thing to test is the 65816
processor, therefore we have a bounty
of 500,- EUR for the first person who
is making a VIC-20 or C64 core using
the 65816 processor on the CPU/RAM
card. The bounty is good until March
20th of this year! All necessary
technical information has been
published in May 2007 in the cone_cores
Yahoo group. Read message number 89 for
all the details. That Yahoo group is a
very good place for finding technical
answers. If you want to claim that
bounty, joining this group will
increase your chances!

Commodore Videos
Thanks to Robert Bernardo's video work
and 1.5 solid days of editing and
converting by www.commodore.ca, we now
have a substantial amount of video
content posted from the Computer
History Museum's: Impact of the
Commodore 64.
Note that many of these files are large
and we only have a limited amount of
bandwidth. As such I recommend that you
RIGHT CLICK ON THE APPROPRIATE LINK AND
SELECT "SAVE TARGET AS" to download the
files to your computer rather than
having them run through your browser

LOADSTAR 248
It has been a long time in coming, but
LOADSTAR Issue 248 shipped on
Valentines Day, with emails shipping on
Sunday, Feb 17. We do apologize about
the long hiatus, but we are finally
back in the swing. During the year,
disks -- both 5.25 and 3.5 DD/DS have
become hard to come by and expensive.
Fortunately, we now have enough 5.25
disks to finish our run of 256 issues!
And the cost of 3.5 disks is not too
much. So, if you want to get in on the
last 8 issues (249-256), email is the
way to go. We email D81 and D64
versions. The subscription price on
these last 8 issues is $24 for all
eight.
Thanks to all LOADSTARites for your
Loyal Support
