A quick unofficial rundown of meeting #5.

We had an Amiga 3000 there supporting the Video Toaster.

This was very well showcased with 2 cameras, 2 studio monitors and it was fun to use. I felt like I worked on an independent US TV Station in 1990.

We had 2 Amiga 1200s, An Amiga 1200 Tower, 2 Amiga 500s and an Amiga X5000.

I showcased a bit of Amiga Forever 2017 on a SFF PC

We has the engineer's station mending a BBC Micro, CDTV and almost giving Last Rites to an A500 Plus with battery leakage.

There was an Amiga Null Modem Hookup on Populous.

On my Amiga 1200, I had my joystick mouse switcher from Ebay that seemed to work rather well. You click the mouse button or joystick button to enable either. I showcased my Iomega Parallel Zip drive with the dongle which allows you to browse Zip disks as regular disks. And I had it hooked up to the internet via a PCMCIA - Ethernet card.

There was also some interest from outsiders that should have been taking their children to the nearby birthday party.

There was a great, enthusiastic crowd there and the event is more popular than ever.

I did take some photos. But there maybe official ones on the SWAG Facebook group.
