Thanks Pete! I'd be interested in that!

> [ebay] for 2 1979 Motorola 68B09 boards (looks to be an Exorset > board). Neil, I think you and I have talked about these boards before, and I saw the auction. I have an EXORbus system myself and some interest otherwise in these early 8-bit busses. Consider bringing a board for some show-and-tell at Festivus; we can figure it out and show how that used to be done. Regards, Herb "we don't need no steenking schematics" Johnson -- Herbert R.

I will have a Festivus table with fun systems and misc stuff for sale- all good deals, almost everything works, $10 to $50 max. Dell Server, Sun Ultra10, Mac Classic, Atari 400 and more. Come by my table and get some bargains and free me from this stuff. It's not SGI- so I'm getting rid of it! -andy

Festivus Buying/Selling/Trading of items
by Jeffrey Brace 18 Nov '19

18 Nov '19

Hello Everyone, I'm excited that everyone will be selling/buying/trading/giving away during Festivus. I just want to keep it controlled. 1) Let me know how much you are bringing and if you need one or two tables. I have extra tables available. 2) Put what you are bringing here on this spreadsheet < https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KLLnzRbOeO0ck0DS6MS6iraqa6XlSGuP-KF… > 3) I plan on putting everyone in a separate adjacent room to keep the flow of the cafeteria going. -- ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President Vintage Computer Federation

Festivus potential first timer
by Ethan O'Toole 18 Nov '19

18 Nov '19

Hello all, I'm thinking about coming to my first Festivus. I don't really know much about it or the processes around it. Would driving in on Saturday morning and leving mid-day Sunday provide me a good Festivus experience? When do people usually arrive to start the Festivus? Is it a workshop type of thing? Or more social? (I have never been to a workshop in NJ, just one at System Source.) I do have an IMSAI 8080 that troubles me. I saw the food sign up sheet, and saw there is the local accomodations overnight. How late to people usually stay up? Thanks! - Ethan O'Toole

Did a bit of Ebay shopping and offer the guy 75$ per board (plus the shipping) for 2 1979 Motorola 68B09 boards (looks to be an Exorset board). This should prove to be a bit of fun as I can't find any docs for these boards but they look like they follow along with Motorola's ref design of 6809, 6821, 6850 and 6840 (RAM/ROM of course). Not sure what's on the ROMs yet. Probably some kind of control program for machinery. I'll copy them when I get a chance and then burn a monitor ROM. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry(a)linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
