Re: Dick Smith Electronics - THE END
I don't know the company well enough, but compared to the situation over here where similar companies (e.g. Clas Ohlson, Kjell & Company) open new stores everywhere they can, it seems tough that they have no buyer and have to close down the entire chain. Actually I think most of those companies once...

Re: Salora Manager Disk ROM
I wonder if a SuperCard Pro could help out. It doesn't yet "read" Apple ][ formats, but has an analyzer tool and in any case it is said with the right type of floppy drive, you could duplicate even foreign formats as this one has write functionality unlike FC5025 and others that focus entirely on re...

Re: Creative Computing on CreatiVision
Thanks. I find that the various search engines can be a little moody sometimes, so you have to feed the right partial phrases for them to give out their secrets. Often I look for one thing, and then find something else by accident. Journal of the Copyright Society of the USA, October 1982. This is j...

Re: Creative Computing on CreatiVision
One more reference: In the weekly magazine InfoWorld on March 24, 1983 they had an article "In Focus: Home is where the computer is" where they listed available (??) home computers: Apple ][e, Mattel Aquarius, Atari 400, Atari 800, Atari 1200XL, Creativision (suggested retail price $159), Commodore ...

Re: Creative Computing on CreatiVision
At least COMPUTE! is available on Archive.org in reasonably good resolution.
Nice thing about the flyer. I wonder if any leftover items remained in the Illinois area, but those would be scattered by now.

Creative Computing on CreatiVision
David Ahl went to Winter CES in Las Vegas, January 1983. I'm not sure if this write-up is part of the regular CreatiVision gospel, but thought it would be worth a mention: Coleco had virtually their entire booth devoted to ColecoVision, and with good reason. With the VCS adapter, this system has got...

Re: Laser 2001 & Salora Manager - official thread
Are you using the right kind of floppy disk? I presume this is a double density unit, either single or double sided, so stay away from any 1.2 MB HD floppy disks you might have left over from a previous PC or so. What happens when you do DIR, do you get any output or just a READY statement? I suppos...

Re: Carlsson's creatiVision / Laser 2001 collection
Yeah, all seems to have been Swedish sold. The owner believes the Creativision bundle might have been included for free when purchasing a TV at some point, but he is not sure.
