You can bring them to the next workshop at InfoAge. I believe it is next weekend. There should be someone there to look at them. I maybe going but have not confined that yet. Mike R.

Trenton Computer Festival Report
by Dean Notarnicola 24 Mar '19

24 Mar '19

Great day today! Adam Michlin, Neil Cherry, Drew and I hosted a VCF exhibit at TCF. We setup an Atari 2600 and 800xl for visitors to interact with, along with various Atari related books. Neil also setup his home automation demo. The exhibits drew a constant stream of curious visitors who asked a lot of questions, with a fairly good crowd around the table for most of the day. Adam, Neil and Drew engaged them with various technology topics while talking up the upcoming VCFe events. Many people asked about VCF and hopefully we encouraged them to introduce themselves on the list and attend a workshop. We had many VCF alumni visit, among them Herb Johnson, Bill Dudley, Tom Hornberger, Jeff Gallinat and others. All in all, a fun day with good people. Another TCF in the books. Regards, Dean

CRT Repair suggestions
by Peter Fletcher 24 Mar '19

24 Mar '19

I have two Atari SC1224 Color monitors that are in need of repair. The one does not turn on at all and the other only seems to only have blue functioning. ( I can see the screen, just everything is either blue or black). I am in southeastern PA, but someplace regional for repair would be fine. Any suggestions? Thanks, Pete

Ok I give up

I vendored there for a few years starting at the Mercer County location, and loved every minute of it. I would have gone today to keep supporting it, but had a scheduling conflict. I still have my registration sheet and flyer from the 1996 one (at least). I loved dumpster diving at the end of it all too, and I wasn't alone! The good ol days! Jeff aka Bags

Us core members forget that we are talking to a wider audience than just us when we throw acronyms around. lest we forget there are new members joining in all the time that may not be familiar with Trenton Computer Fest, as TCF. They may also not be familiar with many of the technical acronyms we throw around, so to all, there are no dumb questions and to the rest of us, let us have patience. To all in Trenton, have a blast. Sorry I won't be there. Bill Inderrieden Are you kidding, really? Trenton computer festival @ TCNJ I'll be there tomorrow at the fleamarket area formally known as the Hamfest. Mike R.

Someone is looking to get files off a DLT
by Christian Liendo 22 Mar '19

Long story short. There is a company that I had gotten some SGIs from contacted me asking if I or someone else could do the following We need a cost to hook up our film scanner and our DLT tape to a stand alone Dell R710 server (our old server). The tapes were archived with the basic unix tar command. The scanner also had been connected up to our R710 server which uses the windows 98 software. We would like to extract the data, when needed, from the DLT tapes and transfer that to the new server via usb drives This company is in NYC. Is anyone interested? Let me know and I will forward you the info
