Anyone got 1-2? I'm setting up a machine specifically to create floppies for my DEC hardware and others - doing this with a 1.2meg drive (which I have) is quite hard to get aligned properly. Happy to pay shipping or we can do VintageExpress. ebay is asking between $100 and $200 per drive, which seems... hefty. -d -- Dave Shevett shevett(a)pobox.com

Some questions about VCF East 2024
by Charlie's Computers 17 Dec '23

17 Dec '23

Hi all, It's been a while since I sent a message here, so I hope I did this right! I *think *I'm attending VCF East this year, so I have some questions. - I might decide to bring a Mac or two -- have there already been signups to have "a table" at the event or will they be sent out later? - How far away is Block #2 hotel from the VCF exhibit? - I saw in a previous email something about a new location; has anyone decided that yet? - Will there be a place where you can buy, sell, or give away computers? Sort of like a yard sale but official? (bad humor and a terrible analogy 😂) I'm sorry if these have been answered already, but I tend to delete emails from vcf-midatlantic so thanks for your help! Sincerely, Charlie

Steering Committee Elections - UPDATE
by Jeff Salzman 14 Dec '23

14 Dec '23

At the Dec 12, 2023 VCF-MA Steering Committee meeting, Alex Jacocks announced that he needed to step down from his position as a Steering Committee member. Since Alex was in the middle of his two year term, his position opened up as an off-cycle opening as defined by the VCF-MA Steering Committee by-laws. As such, the by-laws allow for the Steering Committee to fill the open spot without a separate election. Since the recent election produced more nominees than open Steering Committee positions, the Steering Committee decided to place into the open position the candidate from the recent election with the third highest number of votes. That person is Dave McGuire, who coincidentally was an incumbent in the recent election. However, his placement is not for a full two years. It is only for the remainder of Alex's original term, to the end of 2024. As it stands for now, the current makeup of the VCF-MA Steering Committee is: Jeff Salzman Doug Crawford Dave McGuire Thomas Gilinsky Ian Litchfield We all look forward to guiding VCF as a productive and informative organization dedicated to vintage computing. Sincerely, Jeff Salzman Chairman VCF-MA Steering Committee

Audio talks recovered from Vintage Computer Festival 6!
by Jeffrey Brace 12 Dec '23

12 Dec '23

Due to the extraordinary efforts of Kay Savetz, Clay Cowgill, and Josh Malone over the past two years, some of the talks from Vintage Computer Festival 6 have been recovered! The recordings were in very poor condition and took extreme measures to recover. The audio is often not good. Sometimes it is very bad. But this is the best that they could do from very bad recordings. C. H. Ting, Jef Raskin, John Ellenby, and Gary Starkweather are dead now, so these are voices from those who passed. He has put the audio of the five recoverable sessions from VCF 2003 up at Internet Archive.

Steering Committee Elections - RESULTS
by Jeff Salzman 12 Dec '23

12 Dec '23

Greetings all, I'm finally just recovering from the VCF Festivus celebration this past weekend. It was a lot of fun and there was plenty to eat and do. During the event, we announced those who have received enough votes from our membership to be elected to the two available open positions on the VCF Steering Committee. Both Dave McGuire and Jason Perkins reached the end of their term. Jason did not opt for a nomination in this year's election. Dave McGuire was an incumbent nominee. With the election results tallied, the two open positions will be filled by (in no particular order): Thomas Gilinsky Ian Litchfield We, the Steering Committee, want to personally congratulate and thank both of them for running for the open positions and winning the election. Dave McGuire, Marcus Mera, and Dave Shevett, we thank you for running in the elections. Next year, there will be at least three open positions for the VCF Steering Committee, you are encouraged to throw your hat in the ring at that time if you wish. The same goes for any mailing list member who wishes to run for Steering Committee positions next year. On behalf of the VCF Steering Committee, congratulations to our newest Steering Committee members, and here's looking forward to a new and exciting direction for VCF in 2024! Jeff Salzman Chairman VCF-MA Steering Committee

Another Great Festivus!
by Jeffrey Brace 11 Dec '23

11 Dec '23

So glad to see everyone at Festivus! It was a very enjoyable experience for me to feel the festivus spirit. Thanks so much to the volunteers who helped me setup and breakdown the party. It made my job so much easier to manage everything. It also worked out well to charge a little more and then to supplement the potluck items with VCF bought food. Everyone seemed happy and well fed. Thanks to Ian Primus for bringing all the games! Festivus would not be the same without them! The mini swap meet was fun, it seemed like lots of people bought and sold items. Now I'm off to start planning for VCF East 2024! Take care everyone and see you soon! :-D Jeff Brace VCF National Board Member Chairman & Vice President Vintage Computer Festival East Showrunner VCF Mid-Atlantic Event Manager Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity https://vcfed.org/ <http://www.vcfed.org/> jeffrey(a)vcfed.org

Nokia Bell Labs is moving to HELIX in New Brunswick
by Christian Liendo 10 Dec '23

10 Dec '23

For those of us who have interest in Bell Labs https://www.roi-nj.com/2023/12/08/real_estate/nokia-bell-labs-is-moving-to-… Nokia Bell Labs will announce Monday that it is moving to the HELIX innovation center in New Brunswick, where it will use one of the three buildings planned for the complex as its North American research & development center, numerous people familiar with the announcement confirmed to ROI-NJ. The move is expected to bring approximately 1,000 jobs to the New Jersey Health + Life Science Exchange (better known as the HELIX), while affirming the complex as the leading center for research and innovation in the state. The move also means that Nokia Bell Labs will be leaving its iconic campus in Murray Hill, one that began as the Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1925 — and one where researchers are credited with the development of the transistor, among other major innovations. Ten Nobel Prizes have been awarded for work completed there. It is unclear how soon the move will take place. The new facility will be one of 10 R&D facilities that Nokia has around the world — but the only one located in North America. Nokia’s announcement is the crown jewel for a project that had a groundbreaking with much fanfare in the fall of 2021. At the time, Gov. Phil Murphy said the hope was for the HELIX to be a showcase for all the innovation the state has to offer. Here’s how HELIX will break down: HELIX 1 will serve as a center for translational research as it will house both a state-of-the-art facility for the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School as well as what is being dubbed the New Jersey Innovation Hub, a place where companies of all sizes can come together on research. HELIX 3 will be a 42-story, mixed-use building that will include 37 floors of residential featuring approximately 220 units of housing, as well as retail. Nokia will be the sole tenant in HELIX 2. The New Brunswick Development Corp. is serving as the master developer of the project, working with SJP Properties. Work on HELIX 1 already has begun, with an opening set for 2025. A timeline on HELIX 2 and HELIX 3 could not be determined, but both buildings seemingly would be in line for an Aspire tax credit. HELIX 1 was granted a $271 million Aspire credit in February. The formal announcement Monday is expected to draw a large number of state and federal officials, as well as prominent business leaders, to the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center. Someone familiar with the move, who is not authorized to speak about it publicly, said the impact of the announcement cannot be overstated. “This is extraordinary,” the person said. “When you think about a name and entity like Bell Labs not only recommitting to New Jersey but doubling down in many regards and embracing the vision for an innovative economy that the governor laid out at the beginning of his administration, it’s a great day for the state.”

OT: Want/need 15" LCD monitors
by Jeffrey Golas 09 Dec '23

Hey guys been a while since I posted here. I volunteer at the Battleship NJ and they are in need of 15" LCD monitors for some of their displays. Specifically 15" as that is what fits radar consoles, etc without modifying them. 17s and 19s wont work. If anyone happens to have some or know where we could find some (preferably cheap or free) it would be a help. Especially for a bulk pile of them. I think Dell e15 was one of the models. Jeff

Copying Commodore 64 Cartridges
by Jeffrey Brace 09 Dec '23

09 Dec '23

Does anyone have experience copying Commodore 64 cartridges? I'd like to make copies of a cartridge called "Music Machine". I see some on eBay, but they are untested. I'd rather not buy something that might not work. I need it for VCF when we do the NJ Maker's Day at InfoAge. We found it easier and faster to just pop in a cartridge for children and adults to try out music. We use cartridges because they are faster and easier to switch between programs such as paint, music, and programming. In any case, if you have the ability to copy them, I would love to talk to you about it. We have one cartridge that works. Thanks!

by Jeffrey Brace 07 Dec '23

07 Dec '23

We have decided to move VCF East to April 12, 13 & 14. There was a significant number of people that were traveling to see the solar eclipse so that would have impacted attendance significantly. Those dates are available at InfoAge and are now reserved. Those are the best dates for everyone that are only one week past the original scheduled date. More details will be coming soon: * Consignment moving to a new more spacious location * Possible on-site food cooking * Discount hotel blocks * More great speakers * Plus more! Thanks!

Interested in being a docent? Come to Festivus to get training!
by Jeffrey Brace 07 Dec '23

07 Dec '23

Have you ever thought about being a docent at the VCF museum? Well now's your chance to try it out and get some training! It's a busy time this weekend with the holiday model train show @ InfoAge. There will be other docents there to help train you and get you started. Don't worry if you don't think that you know a lot. You will learn as you go. Most people are just looking for general guidance on the exhibits or with help operating the many hands-on machines that we have. Bart Hurst, one of our newest docents can tell you about how he was hesitant about being a docent at the beginning and how he received awesome training from our docents and now has great confidence in giving tours. If you haven't been to our museum for a while, then you are in for a treat! Lots of changes since last time. Our docents have been working hard to enhance the VCF museum. If you are interested, then let me know and I will pair you up with a buddy docent. We are always looking to add to our prestigious ranks of docents and you can join them! We are always looking for more docents, even if you can only come once a week, once a month, once every two months or three months. All are welcome! Thanks!

Sadly, after much discussion with potential vendors, there’s not nearly enough volume to attract food trucks, or even hot dog carts.

VCFed warehouse closure reminder
by Thomas G 06 Dec '23

06 Dec '23

Hello all, This is a reminder that the Vintage Computer Federation's warehouse will be sealed for renovation, reorganization, and inventorying starting on *January 1st, 2024*. As such, no items will be permitted into or out of the warehouse unless absolutely necessary. As many VCF members have used the warehouse for storage of their personal belongings, it is imperative that they either come to retrieve their belongings or notify me off-list ( thomas.gilinsky(a)vcfed.org) what of theirs is currently stowed in the warehouse so that I may tag it and relocate it outside of the warehouse. Please provide *verifiable proof* that the item in question is your personal property, AND that it was not given to VCF as a donation. *All items within the warehouse that have not been verified and tagged by January 1st will be treated as the property of VCF.* If your item has been verified and tagged before January 1st, but you are not able to collect it, then you will still be able to pick it up after the cut-off date, but *ONLY* if it has been verified and tagged. And, of course, we will periodically nag you to come collect as well. Thanks, -Thomas Gilinsky Vintage Computer Federation Warehouse Manager

Semi-OT: FREE at Festivus: Sun Ultra 40 (AMD64) Workstation
by Jonathan Chapman 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

All, I have a Sun Ultra 40 workstation I'd like to find a new home for. It works but has some caps starting to bulge. This is a dual AMD Opteron workstation, a real beast of a box. It's the first model, not the M2. The case is in pretty decent shape, it was palletized with a bunch of other surplus machines at one point so it's not pristine, but it's also not majorly scratched up. Specs: * Dual AMD Opteron 280 (4 total cores) * 16 GB RAM * ATI Radeon HD6500 * Slotloading DVD drive (works) * All air baffles in place * One cap starting to bulge I won't bring it unless someone definitely wants it, so let me know if you definitely want it. Thanks, Jonathan

3dfx Voodoo Repair/Broken Stuff Wanted
by Jonathan Chapman 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

All, I've started repairing 3dfx Voodoo boards, if you have something you might want repaired you can bring it to Festivus and have me take a look. Doesn't matter how beat up it is, it's probably fixable -- I finished grafting a PCI connector back onto a Voodoo 1 that'd been sheared for scrap earlier this year! I'm also looking for any non-working cards, condition doesn't matter. Thanks, Jonathan

F/S @ Festivus Swap Meet - Can Bring Lots of S100 Stuff, also have Atari, Apple, and Lots More
by Todd George 01 Dec '23

01 Dec '23

Hi everyone, Recently completed a house move, so my things are in disarray and apologies for the potentially disorganized nature of this post, I've just started going through a lot of things that I'll eventually be selling/trading/offloading/giving away. I have a ton of stuff, but not entirely sure I can locate what you may be looking for at this point, even if I know I have it. Feel free to email if you have something you are looking for. I'll update the Festivus swap meet Google Sheets list as well with what I know I have available. I have a literal pile of S100 and related equipment that I would love to offload. I can bring things to Festivus, but don't want to drag them there unless there is interest (that stuff is heavy, yo). I hate when people say "make an offer", but I absolutely have no idea what to ask (unless otherwise noted) for most of this stuff, so feel free to make what you think is a reasonable offer and we will work something out. No, seriously, email me, I want to move inventory!! LOL S100 Stuff: I have _at least_ 1,200 8" floppy disks including various software (some/most pirated) I have what I believe is a new-in-box Shugart 8" floppy drive I have additional 8" floppy drives I have S100 systems and keyboards (no details currently, sorry) Random Stuff: Hero Jr. w/some accessories (remote and at least one cartridge), broken wheel - $500? Atari Stuff: 800XL computers including one that's very close to new in-box (if not actually new?) Atari Tape Drive(s) (410) Atari 1020 Plotter Atari XM301 Atari software including some APX stuff PC Stuff: Beige Gateway machines Beige and older black Dell machines Tons and tons of "big box" software IBM Stuff: RS6000 machines including a nice small-form factor "desktop" AIX and Various Software (most original but not boxed) - $FREE RAM - $FREE Apple Stuff: Lots of iMacs (especially LCD models) Lots of MacBooks PowerMacs *FOR PARTS* (these are in ROUGH shape) - $FREE! Picture of PowerMacs - https://photos.app.goo.gl/jb6t9L2yPoREmhYj8 Also open to non-Festivus deals and trades for Sony Trinitron or other interesting CRTs, vintage ThinkPads, 3DFX Voodoo gear, and arcade equipment (especially an Atari Tetris JAMMA PCB). Note, if you prefer to text, my information is on the Festivus Swap Meet Google Spreadsheet Jeff shared. Thanks! -Todd
