A BIIIIG Thank You to Participants and Event Staff of "East XIII"
by svcatitc＠aol.com 20 May '18

20 May '18

This is a "Thank You" eCard (of sorts) to thank all who setup and supported East XIII. Specifically: Jeff Brace: Who always (my opinion) stays in the shadows out of the limelight, does amazing work, and does not seem to get the credit he deserves. THANK YOU Jeff for all your efforts and time donated. Evan Koblentz: THANK YOU also goes out for all your efforts and time. East would not go off without a hitch without your constant attending to detail. THANK YOU, THANK YOU! NOTE: Top billing for these two was handled by alphabetical order of last name, however they are interchangeable in their importance to the organization. Corey Cohen: For all your efforts and managing the finances of this shindig! Doug Crawford: For jumping in the last minute to save the 6502 lecture. Thank You! Tony Bogan: For helping me and the rest of the setup crew in handling chairs, tables and the stage. "The Expandable Apple" was a hit! Please thank Coop for his help! Dean & Drew Notarnicola: For Dean's talk on collections, and for both helping out as docents in the museum. Thank you and others in the museum on Saturday for allowing me to blabber on about the analog side of things, to our guests. Hopefully, I did not bore anybody. Amateur docenting can be fun! Jeff Jonas and Laura: For handling the history recordists' chores. Bill Dromgoole: For his great talk on the 1219 UNIVAC. AND OF COURSE Duane Craps, who in conjunction with Bill, worked tirelessly to get this beast running! YAY! Jeff Salzman: For picking up the reins and starting the new VCF project with MOBIDIC. Your lecture was very informative. Cynde Moya: For the talk on software preservation. Very enlightening. InfoAge / Fred Carl: For hosting us for our event, and allowing us to break the quiet solace of the campus. Roddy Wildeman: (across the hall) who IS / was immense help with woodworking tools and chores. Bill Degnan, Herb Johnson, Dave Riley, The list goes on: Thank you all for all your efforts. If I have forgotten anyone that I talked to at the show, my apolgies. AND lastly to the cleanup crew (which will most likely be the usual suspects) for the thankless job of cleaning up the chairs, tables, etc., and the mess we left. THANK YOU! I wish I could be there to help again with the back end, however, family duties do not permit. I will be there in spirit! Thank you all! Bill Inderrieden In the words of Dizzy Gillespie, Muppets Classic Show: "It was delicious!"

VCF parking & setup
by Jameel Akari 18 May '18

18 May '18

Probably I missed this... what time(s) can exhibitors come in and setup their tables? Where we should we park? (Not the grass!) I probably won’t be there until maybe 3pm today. -- Jameel Akari

Where should volunteers park?
by Neil Cherry 18 May '18

18 May '18

This may not matter but my understanding is that VCF draws a pretty good crowd. I've volunteered to work with the IXR soldering exhibit tomorrow and I was wondering where should volunteers park, or does it really matter? -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry(a)linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies

Stuff I'm bringing to VCF
by Christian Liendo 18 May '18

18 May '18

I have two non-working SGI Octanes. Once has a blown capacitor in the power supply. The other, Just doesn't run. They are free to anyone willing to take them. I just assume not even bring them in the building. I would rather just move from one car to another. One complete Commodore PET 8032 in box with dual drive and printer all in box. Original everything. Two IBM 5150s I may also have a Teletype Model 43 and an ATT 6300 Brian is bringing some TRS-80 Model IIIs What are you guys bringing?

talk at VCF-East on audio cassettes for data; stuff
by Herb Johnson 18 May '18

18 May '18

http://www.retrotechnology.com my home page starts with Web links to my VCF-East talk, and to a Web page stuff I'll be selling there as a vendor. http://www.retrotechnology.com/restore/cass_data.html There are adults alive today, who have *no idea* what an "audio cassette" is! Shocked me. Learn how the Ancients communicated in tones! Lost technology, recovered by experts, even as we speak. Voices from the past! http://www.retrotechnology.com/vcfe_may18.html Less exciting fare. I'm adding more by the day. Lights that blink, boards covered with chips, clicky keyboards. Some of you know me - ask me about something I have you don't see. Root around my domain to see more. No IMSAIs No Altairs pls, light stuff OK? Surprisingly, I don't get axed much, about old Macs.

Chris: I might be interested in one of those Octanes if no one else is. If others are more interested however then feel free to give it to them as I already have 2 SGI machines already! Bill: Might be slightly interested in the Alpha system since I am still looking for some Unix machines. As for myself, I am bringing an Admiral 1949 TV which already has a buyer. Outside of that might bring one or two Apple systems but they are not nearly as interesting. -Lou >>* I have two non-working SGI Octanes. Once has a blown capacitor in the *>>* power supply.

The VCF East "Wanted" List
by Jeff G 17 May '18

17 May '18

Maybe we should have a wanted thread going - so if you're looking for something perhaps too big/bulky to normally be shipped that someone might be willing to bring? I'm looking for: 7 bit Ascii keyboard S-100 Boards (looking for original Altair stuff like ram and serial) Keyboard for At&T Personal Terminal 510A (oddball!) JeffG (aka Bags)

Anyone have IBM PS/2 mice?
by Jameel Akari 17 May '18

17 May '18

Reminded by Tony's post... does anyone a have IBM-branded PS/2 mouse or two I can borrow for VCF? (No, didn't find any in the warehouse.) Specifically this style: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_System/2#/media/File:IBM_PS2_hii… Or even a little later: http://product-images.highwire.com/2952082/793c7b2c-d100-4659-8a59-ed6105d7… I've got plenty of PS/2 interface mice of course, but somehow I never kept any of the original style. Thanks! -- Jameel Akari
