Re: [vcf-midatlantic] EBAY MOS 6501 CPU - Apple 1 Challenge

> Demonstrate an apple 1, configured for a 6800 > but sporting a 6501 instead. > It would have to run code without a rotate right instruction... Both 6501 and 6800 has been done on clones. The WOZ monitor does not use ROR. Note that there are a couple of differences between 6800 and 6501 that require a couple of small tweaks to allow a real 6800 to work in an Apple 1. In the report I have seen with the 6501 It’s unclear if tweaks to the base design as laid out on the board are necessary. Look for Tim Colgrove’s 6501 in the New England Retro Computer Facebook group. http://www.willegal.net/blog/?p=3968 Mike Willegal.

Exhibitors and vendors for VCF East 2023 - FULL!!!
by Jeffrey Brace 27 Feb '23

27 Feb '23

Hello everyone, I've stopped accepting registrations for VCF East exhibitor tables and vendor tables. We are full as of now. I think this is some sort of record for how fast we filled up! In any case, if you are still interested, then you can go on our waiting list. e-mail me at vcfeast(a)vcfed.org. I'm going to confirm with all of the registered exhibitors and vendors that they are still interested. I will also double check the measurements for the rooms to see if there is any more that I can fit. If anything changes, then I will post to this list and accept first come first serve on the waiting list. I will be sending out the registered exhibitors the draft for the layout soon. ========================================= Jeff Brace VCF National Board Member Chairman & Vice President Vintage Computer Festival East Showrunner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity https://vcfed.org/ <http://www.vcfed.org/> jeffrey(a)vcfed.org

Re: [vcf-midatlantic] E-Waste Recycling events

I have been to the eCycling in Eastern Chester County Dump (when dumping electronic waste). I have noticed typically 100 or so machines, mostly from 2005-2015. Maybe one or two really old machines, but mostly too new to be vintage, too old to be useful. Not sure if you're allowed to take anything or how it works. I never tried. I bet most eWaste places are similar.

by Jeffrey Brace 24 Feb '23

24 Feb '23

It was suggested to me that I invite Fran Blanche to give a talk at VCF East. I know of her and her YouTube channel, but am not familiar with her videos. Is anyone familiar with her videos where they can give me a suggestion as to what she might talk about?
