IBM Series/1 emulator?
by David Riley 25 Mar '25

25 Mar '25

Hey all, I'm looking to see if there are any existing emulators known for the IBM Series/1 system. There are some disk images on Bitsavers (in addition to lots of docs, which is good), and I know a few members here have some experience with the system... anecdotally, it was said that there was some sort of emulation available for RS/6000, though that is extremely anecdotal and it's not even clear to me what platform it would be (AIX?). There doesn't seem to be a simh one that I've found. If anyone knows of any existing emulation solutions, I'd love to know about them. Thanks! - Dave

VCF EAST IS APRIL 4-6, 2025
by Jeffrey Brace 24 Mar '25

24 Mar '25

VCF EAST IS APRIL 4-6, 2025 at InfoAge This may be redundant to some of you, but I feel the need to repeat myself. I've had two local people ask me when it was and didn't realize that it was less than two weeks away despite posting to this list and plastering over all of social media once per day. They thought it was April 16 or April 26. I'm thinking of renting out skywriting to advertise the show. Or those banners down the shore that go along the beach. Program book is here: https://vcfed.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/vcfeast2025program_final.pdf Enjoy! Jeff Brace VCF East Showrunner
