Massive Vintage Apple Computer Magazine Lot - $700
by Christian Liendo 11 Mar '21

11 Mar '21

I know someone here may want this. I'm not selling these, but I put all the info https://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/sys/d/danbury-massive-vintage-apple-com… 117cc2c5e6ab3c4ea143cfde3d30889e(a)sale.craigslist.org Magazines are bagged and boarded and stored upright for purpose of posterity. Magazines are bagged and boarded and stored upright for purpose of posterity. I have them stored in cardboard filing drawers which I will gladly include in the purchase making them easier to transport and ensure they stay organized. There are no major issues or concerns with the magazines in regards to water damage, mildew, torn pages, falling apart, etc. All of them have been very well preserved. $700 for the lot which breaks down to roughly $3 a magazine, which is relatively fair when you take into account that some of the "magazines" are more like books. If interested in individual issues I'm selling them for $5 each Apple Works Forum Apple-Works Forum, April 1989, Volume IV No. 4 Apple-Works Forum, May 1989, Volume IV No. 5 Apple-Works Forum, June

MUD 1980 article
by Andrew Diller 11 Mar '21

11 Mar '21

If you didn't come across this, it's worth the read: https://if50.substack.com/p/1980-mud Wasn't around for this, but I did do my MUDding in the very early 90's - i recall my housemates and I had a local 10b2 lan and an on-demand modem dialup so we all could play on our own computers down in the basement. We frequented NannieMUD and many others. That was when your ISP would give you real routable ip address and it was great fun. If anyone else is interested- i'm putting out feelers for VCF East 2021 (I'm banking on it being in person!) - and running some vintage muds on vintage UNIX systems, connected up to each other with lots of terminals for interactive play. Message me off list if this is something you are interested in ideating on. (hint-> Jameel, Perkins, Ethan(s) and others from UNIXTOWN...) -andy

VCF West 2021 Call for exhibitors
by Jeffrey Brace 11 Mar '21

11 Mar '21

Hello folks, VCF West is scheduled, as always, for the first weekend in August. That will be *the 7th and 8th* this year. We have the *full second floor* of the *Computer History Museum* booked! As of right now things are looking fairly good for an in-person show. The CHM is projecting that they should be open in July, vaccine distribution is accelerating and should approach universal availability within the next few months and, overall, signs of pending normalcy are on the rise. Nothing is certain, of course, but I am cautiously optimistic that we can have a show so I would like to start planning for it. With that in mind, exhibit registrations are open at VCF West Exhibit Registration <http://vcfed.org/wp/festivals/vintage-computer-festival-west/vcf-west-exhib…> Please consider signing up to show off your favorite toys! We have a lot of space to fill and I'm hoping that there is a lot of pent up demand since we were purely virtual last year. Speaking of virtual, we will be doing a hybrid show. The Hahn Auditorium will be used for live talks when we have speakers in the building, but we'll run video presentations of exhibits, talks and classes in between those. If you are out of town or can't attend in person please consider submitting a video! Heck, we could use your video even if you're planning on being there in person! As always we are actively seeking speakers and classroom instructors for the show. If you are able, or if you know of someone who would be a good fit, please let me know. Also, as usual, we're always looking for volunteers to help out with show preparations and on show days. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns and please forward this email to anyone you think might be interested. Thank You and All the Best, Erik Klein erik(a)vcfed.org -- Jeff Brace ========================================= Vice President & Board Member Vintage Computer Festival East Show-runner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity http://www.vcfed.org/ jeffrey(a)vcfed.org cell: 732-759-1783

Repair workshop 3/6 & 3/7
by Jeffrey Brace 11 Mar '21

11 Mar '21

About 15 people came this month. Lots of interesting stuff repaired. Ian was able to fix the museum Xerox by swapping out a video board from our spare Xerox. So now it is working in the museum. I know that Jeff Salzman worked on testing out Commodore 64 related hardware. It was a special treat to see him use Magic Voice, a voice synthesizer for the C64. What I didn't know, but he did, was that Commodore made cartridges such as Gorf and Wizard of War will have voice enabled when you plug them into the Magic Voice! They resemble the arcade versions. Maybe others can fill in what they worked on.

Keep the lights on at InfoAge (GoFundMe fundraiser)
by Jeffrey Brace 09 Mar '21

09 Mar '21

Vintage Computer Federation has initiated a fundraiser for InfoAge operating expenses. As with many museums across the country InfoAge was hit hard by lower visitor numbers, yet the expenses keep coming. For those that don't know, VCF leases space for our museum and warehouse from InfoAge. So we are looking to help them as it benefits us and all the other museums under the InfoAge umbrella to stay in business. Our doors stay open as a result of the volunteers' efforts, the donations made by visitors to InfoAge, as well as grants and other fundraising efforts. As you can imagine, the long closures, limited capacity and public concerns that have come as a result of COVID-19 have seriously hurt our ability to raise money and continue to maintain and improve the Camp Evans Historical Landmark Site and the museums that occupy it's spaces. Starting with the resident non-profits, we are pooling our resources to keep the doors to our home here at Camp Evans/InfoAge open and continue to share this wonderful place with the public. But we need your help to make it through these difficult times. ANY donation will help make an impact. How will your donation help? Your donations will assist InfoAge in paying for daily operating expenses (like keeping the electricity on!) repairs and maintenance and installation of new exhibits just to name a few! Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us. We set a goal of $10,000 and you can donate by going here: https://gofund.me/f72ab5f0 Jeff Brace ========================================= Vice President & Board Member Vintage Computer Festival East Show-runner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity http://www.vcfed.org/ jeffrey(a)vcfed.org cell: 732-759-1783

Another successful repair workshop 3/6 & 3/7 2021
by Jeffrey Brace 08 Mar '21

08 Mar '21

So about 15 people showed up to the repair workshop. Most were in the CDL building and the rest were in 9032-A, the museum and the warehouse. Ian was able to repair the Xerox in the museum by swapping out a board from another Xerox. He will try to repair the original board later. In addition Ian fixed a number of other items that hopefully he will mention here. Jeff Salzman tested all sorts of Commodore hardware which was fun watching especially him using the Magic Voice hardware and then realizing that Gor and Wizard of War both had digitized voices when the cartridges were plugged into the Magic Voice. Sounded just like the arcade versions. Jason Perkins tested and fixed the Diablo printer as well as a Apple Profile. Dmitry had success at the very end of the workshop, but I don't remember what he was working on. Corey and I started prototyping a new backdrop for the artifact carts that I hope everyone will like. Can everyone else chime in on what they were working on? Next event is the swap meet & repair workshop on April 24.
