We could use the Mac script we use to serve internet to a TiVo via serial to serve it to an Amiga, then have the Amiga be a modem just like the TiVo. 00:24, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Brainstorm

Say something about portability? -Shawn 2010-07-20 1:39PM

We could have a terminal or two set up for Inter Relay Chat. We could let visitors chat on common IRC channels, or make a special channel for the exhibit and invite experienced IRC users to chat with visitors. Shawn 19:33, 29 August 2011 (UTC) Chatters could go on Aminet channel at Amiga World: irc.amigaworld.net #aminet

There could be a station running Eliza, the quasi-therapeutic robot chat. Shawn 19:33, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Macs could run all sorts of cool programs from http://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/system_6_hell . You can find them in disk image files in our Mini vMac folder. Here's a list of promisingly cool ones:

  • 3D-Edit
  • 3rd Floor
  • Bug Hunt
  • Centipede
  • Deep Angst
  • Enigma
  • Ford Simulator II
  • Glider
  • Inigo Gets Out (requires hypercard)
  • Mac Trek
  • Missile (1984, truly a golden oldie)
  • Rassling (requires hypercard)
  • Stunt Copter (Very popular in its day)

We have Puppet Motel, a Laurie Anderson Quicktime adventure on CD, and Invisible Universe, a similar CD package. These would run on any color Mac and provide a multimedia experience.

Play Switched On Bach for the reception.

Shopping List

  • Saved MOUSER ORDER:3.6V lithium battery for SE FDHD (ER3S or 1/2AA).
  • Saved MOUSER ORDER:3.0V lithium battery with solder leads for SE.
  • Saved MOUSER ORDER:3.6V NiCad pack for Amiga 3000/UX. Any mobile phone pack will do.
  • Saved DATAMEM ORDER:4 1MB 30 pin SIMMs for the SE, from which we borrowed 4 for the SE FDHD, which was having problems with its RAM. http://www.datamemorysystems.com/_memory-information/DM11_007.asp

Getting Amiga onto internet

We could use the Mac script we use to serve internet to a TiVo via serial to serve it to an Amiga, then have the Amiga be a modem just like the TiVo. 00:24, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
