Does anyone have christmas demos/songs for vintage computers? Macs, PC's, Commodores, Apples, Atari, Imsai, DEC, CPM Machines, etc. I think it would be nice to have a holiday software collection setup for members to have access to. I know right now, it's a bit late for this Christmas, but I believe it would be a good gesture going forward to have software available to members for various systems to members available for downloads as well as on various media types, as well as on a dial-up system for users whose systems are unable to connect to the web, we are the few, we are the proud, we are the modem users. Remember these types of modem init strings, or even longer??

Commodore SX64 came with a demo sound pak that included a Christmas or holiday song set. -- Bill
A bunch of years ago, I donated an SX-64 to MARCH, and I’m sure it included that holiday demo disk. Whether the machine and/or the disk are still functional, is another matter. It was a neat machine. I was sorry to see it go, but I knew it would “have a better home” at MARCH. The only vintage machines I have room for now are a Radio Shack/Tandy MC-10 and an RCA VIP. 73 de Ray

The SX 64 disk is on my web site. On Mon, Dec 21, 2015 at 3:12 PM, Ray Sills via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

Ray, I was in fact playing your SX-64 and the holiday demo disk this past Sunday at the museum! Jeff Brace On Mon, Dec 21, 2015 at 3:12 PM, Ray Sills via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

Heh. This seems to be a little-known fact, but AT command strings are alive and well. I design telecommunications systems. Cellular modems use a vastly-extended version of the original AT command set to control all functions. By "vastly-extended" I mean the AT command set reference manual for one of the modem modules I've designed into several products is nearly seven hundred pages long. So, frighteningly enough, not only are those long textual init strings alive and well, there's far more equipment deployed these days that use it than there ever were back in the BBS era. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

I agree. This year I used AT commands to hack my car's computer, and to get into my home router. I use a USB to serial cable to run commands and interface's built-in internal ROM. Some of the baud rates are out of sight high compared with old modems though. -- Bill
Commodore 64-SX demo disk has a good Christmas Demo with graphics and music. I also have a collection of SID/MUS music for Commodore 64. I would be glad to share! I think also that Commodore 64 has a Christmas demo that was released in 1982 a few months after its initial release.

I have a CD full of Christmas music as performed by the AN/FSQ-7 (SAGE) computer but the code is long gone, not to mention the computers. :-) Mike Loewen mloewen@cpumagic.scol.pa.us Old Technology http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/
