Hey all!

Wow.. we haven't met since November '06!  Between the December break (and SAC 
construction) and then the ice storm of January 2007, I think that this is 
the longest break we've ever had! 

We don't seem to have any formal presentations, but we do have some of our 
famous gaming hackers who are bringing in systems to demonstrate hardware and 
software hacks they have researched.

Robert Rusk on PS2:
o Demo of the Xploder Soft-HDTV hack (show some games output on it)
    http://www.xploder.net/products/148/Xploder-HDTV-Player.htm
o HD Progressive Scan output hacking
o RGB signals and circuit board layout/schematics

Bruce Tomlin on Sega Genesis Hardware & Software Hacking:
o Sega Genesis development gear
o Floppy disc game copier for the Genesis
o Motorola 68000 Hacking
o Genesis RS-232 converter board hack
o Cartridge boards & EPROM hacking 
o Z80 and 68000 code "transcoding"

If there's time/interest, I can casually review some of the big changes coming 
up in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and where that's going.

I think that's about it...

Cheers!

Tweeks
