Filmographer Andy Singer and his crew will be at the PA Computer
Technology Museum, also known as the "Computer Church" in Parkesburg,
PA to document the attendees, demonstrations, and conversations that
help tell the larger story of computer preservation and the people who
have dedicated themselves to keeping this history alive. Join us on
June 13th (11-3) if you want to watch and/or be in the film. Contact
me through kennettclassic.com if you're planning to go to the event.
Andy says, "...We're incredibly excited about the project and grateful
for all the help you've provided so far. Looking forward to meeting
you in person and documenting what should be a fantastic weekend. .."
Vintage Computer Safety
For the documentary we plan to demonstrate techniques for testing
unknown vintage computers SAFELY. If you have an item that you'd like
to have assessed please bring it along.
Thanks
Bill

I haven’t been able to talk about this early MSDOS recovery project since a few of us began working on it in September, but you can see the blog post by Scott Hanselman here.
Scott’s post links to both @BrokenPipe’s site and mine where we discuss the process. In short, I was able to get 700-ish pages of original source listings from Tim Paterson which I scanned and then we converted to workable source code. It’s the earliest known version of DOS code to exist in the wild.
