The Lounge • SEA-CCC #75 Recap

Last night, April 16th, was the 75th meeting of SEA-CCC (Seattle Commodore Computer Club). That is an incredible sentence to type and re-read. Seventy five! I couldn't be more proud and honored to have such great people contribute and help build this small collective of vintage and retro computing fans.

Highlights:


Commodore C64G
While we didn’t crack it open, supposedly the motherboards are heavily cost-reduced and sometimes even repurposed from the failed console the Commodore GS (Game System).


Amiga 2500AT
Another club member brought one of the most powerful Amiga 2000’s potentially ever assembled - at least that I’ve ever seen or heard of. I should have taken notes, but at a high level it included a Salamander card outfitted with a Vampire. You should read all of the stats to fully appreciate its capabilities and power. It's incredible.

Mystery 64C

One member brought a totally strange machine that was a complete mystery in how it was originally used. It included several interesting DIY LEDs built into the top of the case. On the back were two added ports that we think may have driven either MIDI devices and/or video. One theory was this machine may have been customized to drive certain hardware for live performances in some manner.
Bizarrely, under the keyboard we discovered a small plastic baggie that contained a few extra keycaps and keyboard springs hidden down there. (?!)


Commodore 64 Silver Label

Finally, there was an early model Commodore 64 "Silver Label" brought in that sported a very low serial number.


All in all an amazing night of hardware sharing, discovery and exploration!
