Vic Stock Control

[beamrider]

Does anyone have a copy of this they could share? Can't seem to find it anywhere online.

[Noizer]

What is the (supposed) game about?

[orion70]

Not a game. Program to control your shop, restaurant or home stock (three of them on two cassettes in fact).

Couldn't find any dump anywhere.

[Noizer]

Ah ok, never heard from it before

When I was a child I remember to have a copy of Stock Control but in Spanish language (Control de Stock)
Don't know if it was an official translation from Commodore in Spain.

If I find this tape I could try to tranfer it, if you needed.

[beamrider]

Thanks, Spanish not so useful to me, but others may benefit. Worth dumping if you have it.

[beamrider]

Seems to be available here..

but they don't appear to ship to the UK so I can't buy it.

[orion70]

I just bought it from an Italian seller in eBay . Will dump and scan as soon as I get it.

[beamrider]

Excellent!

More Vic History preserved...

[orion70]

Problems with the post office.. the package apparently got lost, or at least they can't find it

I'll see if things can be sorted out in the next few days

[beamrider]

Oh dear

..perhaps they could use a little "Vic Stock Control" themselves!

[orion70]

Found
Stay tuned for scans and files!

Here we are with the visual material (scans of box, cassette, and manual). Unfortunately, an easy way of dumping the cassette - i.e. just loading files and saving them on a .d64 - is prevented by some kind of copy protection. I'll try with the usual setup for complex dumping (walkman connected to a PC saving a WAV to be converted) as soon as I have spare hours. Very unlikely in this period

Just the WAVs would be too cool already.

[orion70]

A complete WAV file of the whole cassette is now provided in the shared folder linked above (about 10 minutes, 46 Mb). Warning: I could not load the program(s) on the real VIC, as it gives load error even with a good datassette. Bad sign. See if you can sort it out.
