ScuzzBlog: Diaries February 2018 Entry 24th February 2018: Post: 1 I FOUND IT !!! OK for those following my blogs will know that for six months now I have been trying to locate my MegaloSound cartridge. I know that I had become annoyed by the times the cartridge fell out of the book as it was not held within a box. I recall deciding to place the cartridge in a safe place but couldn't for the life of me recall just where I put it. So I have been opening every software box etc that I can lay my hands on trying to uncover the thing. The last two days I have been emptying my Commodore C64 area in the hope that it may have fallen behind the desk. I do recall moving to this area when I was trying to find a home for the cartridge. Sadly I did not find the cartridge but was pleased to uncover a whole bag of other goodies. See below. And so to today and me sitting in the small room resigned to the fact that I probably will not be finding the cartridge any time soon. I was looking over my wall of disk boxes and noted again the Perfect Sound cartridge sitting front of a disk box. I then noted the only disk box that I have that does not have a plastic clear lid. I then bent down and opened the large white disk drawer and to my amazement there inside at the very front was the MegaloSound cartridge. Quite unbelievable. I recall now placing it in the drawer with the DR T's software and MicroDeal software. Job done as they say.... So what am I still missing. Interestingly after 12 months of unpacking and placing all items in a more available format I am lost only two items or types of item. I cannot find a number of my TechnoSound Turbo samplers and associated kit. I also have a number of C64 music cartridges that have gone walkies. And yes I am already on the case. And so here it is... that annoying cartridge and a number of less annoying items that I uncovered whilst undertaking my search. Thanks for reading. Interestingly I also found a second copy of the manual. Which was nice. I have placed the cartridge and books in an old MiniOffice box. So if I forget you can remind me Whenever I go on the hunt for items I tend to uncover other things. Yesterday I found my lost Checkmate A1500 keyboard for the second of my Checkmates. Thing is the keyboard holds all the electronics and circuits for the keyboard so a standard 2000 won't do. I was so pleased to find it as I had been using just the one I had on both computers I have been wanting to do a review of the Sanyo MBC-550 for ages now but couldn't cus I had lost the keyboard. So imagine how pleased I was to uncover the very keyboard. Found my missing stash of Amiga World Plus some other rare magazines including the very wonderful Your Amiga And there was more as I uncovered a batch of Popular Computing Weekly And Home Computing Weekly. These two publications are so useful for tracking the history of older computers. Especially in the UK. You really can read the stories as they actually happened So sad the last ever issue of CU Amiga And the special edition of Amiga Format I have a pile of stuff from my gaming years and this is some of the paperwork from EB or Electronics Boutique before they were bought out by Game in the UK. This marks my time on the Dreamcast when that platform was also sadly on the decline Good old Lara and the Dreamcast And the very bag from my Dreamcast purchase Man did I search high and low for this the other month following a request I placed two bits of software for the Amiga that I discovered a while back to add to the disk list and then completely lost them again. Yesterday they revealed themselves ... so funny. The first is Tyro a video editing program The second is the incredibly popular Cashbook Controller. Come on someone must have found this useful. I mean so how else are you going to control your cashbook. From those wonderful Digita folk This is classic. AMOS Pro for just £3.50 And the box is so heavy and complete. So many Amiga magazines with the disks still attached to the front covers OK bottom of the stack now and a special mention to this very wonderful power supply for the C64 my Mighty Micro Don't you just love the way they styled the casing to match the C64C. I mean today nobody would even bother. And finally the PSU for the Commodore Plus/4 only cus I see how many struggle with the square connector Commodore added to this kit. I am told they did revert to the circular in the end. I'd be lost without it All working... Magic The end to a perfect day. All safely rehoused and stored.... Hmmm. So where did I put that bloody cartridge ?
