A special guest, rare peripherals, and a new member were some of the features of this month's meetup.

Sean arrived first with his recently-purchased Mitsubishi Multi8. It was a peer to the FM-7 and early Sharp X1 machines, though never shared the same level of success. We used it to play the system demo and Bomber Man.

Saburo brought in a couple of rare devices - the JR-100 expansion unit and the Basic Master joystick adapter, for Curt to go through and photograph.

We were visited by community-famous YouTuber David of Usagi Electric. He was interested to see what everyone had brought in and even interviewed people for an upcoming video. And his visit was so timely because apparently none of us were strong enough to unscrew the joystick adapter pictured above.

Michelle had her full-haul, a PC-9801 and a CRT monitor to introduce some games and the system in general.

Sven brought in his laptop to continue working on his Commodore 1351 mouse adapter board. He also had a friend visiting from home who decided to visit the meetup.

Colin not only attended this week, but introduced a new member to the group. So this week we had three Davids. This David brought in an Atari Falcon as well as a non-pictured Block Kuzushi game.

Curt not only brought in his own compact Pyuta and full-sized TK-85, but he was also further laden with a Sony HB-10 and a tractor-feed Epson printer that Sean had been holding onto for him.

Tom took in his Panasonic A1-WX MSX2+ machine for showing off some games, launched off of a mass storage device with a music chip that was used in the Sega SG-1000.

Not only did Tom take in the above machine, but he had also left behind a wonky data recorder in the locker from the previous meetup. That's when our longest-serving David jumped into action with his expert data recorder repair skill. Or at least he apparently fixed a data recorder once. This data recorder blanks the video momentarily when you go to play it, so David's advice was to stop using the data recorder.

Both Ondrej and Colin had a Commodore Plus/4 with them this time, each coming across their old Plus/4s at around the same time. Ondrej's keyboard is giving him some trouble but otherwise both Plus/4s worked!
