25 Dec '23

I'm planning to be at Camp Evans finishing the fiber connections to Building 9011 to support the Military Technology Museum on 12/30/2023, starting around 10:00 AM, with a hard stop at 2:00 PM Scope of work is to mount the fiber terminal and network switch in the 9011 attic, and potentially an access point. Anyone interested in lending a hand is welcome, be advised this is all attic work, with ladders involved. Martin Flynn

Needed: 360k half height drive or two.
by Dave Shevett 19 Dec '23

19 Dec '23

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
