Back in Time Live 2015

The venue - St. George's Church 

Before the show.  How the interior appeared.

During a break between bands, attendees gather at the vendors. 

Ben Daglish reads some comedy!

On June 20, 2015 I attended the Back in Time Live 2015 concert in Brighton, England.  Though I concentrated on taking video of the event, I did take a few photos of the goings-on.  The concert was very exciting, the music very loud, and the people very friendly.  There was a great deal of C64 and Amiga music played.  For more information, go to

Commodore 128 Video DAC vs. Commodore 128 VGA adapter

The topside of the Video DAC (left) and the VGA adapter 

The bottom of the Video DAC (left) and the VGA adapter

To settle some questions about the two devices, here are some photos of the older, no-longer-produced C128 Video DAC from Richard Goedeken of Fascination Software and the current C128 VGA adapter from John Carlsen of BIT-C128.com.  You can see that the Video DAC is longer and thinner when compared to the VGA adapter.  The Video DAC has soldered-on wires to connect to the GBS-8220 for 80-column viewing on a VGA monitor; the VGA adapter has a wire block into which you insert the wires.  The VGA adapter uses surface-mounted parts with its chips mounted on the underside.

FCUG newsletter editor Leonard Roach tends to his set-up. 

Was this C128 autographed by Bil Herd?

Vincent Mazzei's very complete VIC-20 set-up

O.K., this C128 (center) was autographed. 

Fidgeting with equipment... 

... and the equipment is the C128 VGA adapter + GBS-8220. 

Watching the same C64 screencast 

Some of the Sunday crowd 

O.K., connect this photo to the right of the above photo.

The camera does not do justice when looking through CastAR.
