Re: [vcf-midatlantic] OT: time to downsize

Just an update on my progress! I finished photographing and cataloguing the Apple Mac Plus and later systems and displays, and I am now working on the peripherals and ephemera for those (keyboards, mice, printers, etc.) Next up will be the Apple II era systems. I also have bunch of other collectable but not necessarily vintage Apple devices such as early iPods and iPads, but I think those will wait until the end. Once I reach what I feel is a significant milestone I’ll share the Google doc with the list - but I’m not quite there yet. Bob Shuster

S100 construction (and Clint Law)
by skogkatt007＠yahoo.com 11 Feb '22

11 Feb '22

The two subjects are unrelated for the purpose of this diacussion (I just need CL's contact info). There was a recent discussion about building a 6800 based s100 board (pretty sure all that is accurate). Well somewhat along those lines is a book I got as an interlibrary loan, 68000 Microcompuyer Systems, Fesigning and Troubleahooting by Alan Wilcox. Just picked it up today, just started perusing it. Looks damned fine. It isn't cheap, around 100$ on Amazon. But you can always borrow it like I have.

Do you mean the ones for the swap meet on Feb. 26? I left it free form for individuals to put whatever information they want and leave contact info if they want. I see that some have already left that info there. > -- ========================================= Jeff Brace VCF National Board Member Chairman & Vice President Vintage Computer Festival East Showrunner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity http://www.vcfed.org/ jeffrey(a)vcfed.org

OT: Recommendations for Hotels in InfoAge area
by Herb Johnson 11 Feb '22

11 Feb '22

To be brief: People are suggesting hotels, but not costs. "Pricey", "affordable", "cheap" are undefined. Well, cost is subject-relevant. If one doesn't want to name their actual cost, maybe they can suggest "affordable from $X to $Y". Because Jersey Shore costs are seasonal, one might also mention the month they stayed. Likely prices in April, are something Jeff Brace can check upon when he produces his recommendation list for publication. Covid shortages will likely raise prices. He might consider arranging for a "convention hotel" with a discounted rate, if the terms are acceptable and available. Regards, Herb Johnson -- Herbert R.

Shouldn't these be entered on the want/sell spreadsheets so you can contact these people directly?
