VCF parking & setup
by Jameel Akari 18 May '18

18 May '18

Probably I missed this... what time(s) can exhibitors come in and setup their tables? Where we should we park? (Not the grass!) I probably won’t be there until maybe 3pm today. -- Jameel Akari

Where should volunteers park?
by Neil Cherry 18 May '18

18 May '18

This may not matter but my understanding is that VCF draws a pretty good crowd. I've volunteered to work with the IXR soldering exhibit tomorrow and I was wondering where should volunteers park, or does it really matter? -- 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

Stuff I'm bringing to VCF
by Christian Liendo 18 May '18

18 May '18

I have two non-working SGI Octanes. Once has a blown capacitor in the power supply. The other, Just doesn't run. They are free to anyone willing to take them. I just assume not even bring them in the building. I would rather just move from one car to another. One complete Commodore PET 8032 in box with dual drive and printer all in box. Original everything. Two IBM 5150s I may also have a Teletype Model 43 and an ATT 6300 Brian is bringing some TRS-80 Model IIIs What are you guys bringing?

talk at VCF-East on audio cassettes for data; stuff
by Herb Johnson 18 May '18

18 May '18

http://www.retrotechnology.com my home page starts with Web links to my VCF-East talk, and to a Web page stuff I'll be selling there as a vendor. http://www.retrotechnology.com/restore/cass_data.html There are adults alive today, who have *no idea* what an "audio cassette" is! Shocked me. Learn how the Ancients communicated in tones! Lost technology, recovered by experts, even as we speak. Voices from the past! http://www.retrotechnology.com/vcfe_may18.html Less exciting fare. I'm adding more by the day. Lights that blink, boards covered with chips, clicky keyboards. Some of you know me - ask me about something I have you don't see. Root around my domain to see more. No IMSAIs No Altairs pls, light stuff OK? Surprisingly, I don't get axed much, about old Macs.

Chris: I might be interested in one of those Octanes if no one else is. If others are more interested however then feel free to give it to them as I already have 2 SGI machines already! Bill: Might be slightly interested in the Alpha system since I am still looking for some Unix machines. As for myself, I am bringing an Admiral 1949 TV which already has a buyer. Outside of that might bring one or two Apple systems but they are not nearly as interesting. -Lou >>* I have two non-working SGI Octanes. Once has a blown capacitor in the *>>* power supply.

Anyone have IBM PS/2 mice?
by Jameel Akari 17 May '18

17 May '18

Reminded by Tony's post... does anyone a have IBM-branded PS/2 mouse or two I can borrow for VCF? (No, didn't find any in the warehouse.) Specifically this style: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_System/2#/media/File:IBM_PS2_hii… Or even a little later: http://product-images.highwire.com/2952082/793c7b2c-d100-4659-8a59-ed6105d7… I've got plenty of PS/2 interface mice of course, but somehow I never kept any of the original style. Thanks! -- Jameel Akari

VCF item request
by Tony Bogan 16 May '18

16 May '18

Was wondering if anyone has an Apple II SCSI card I could borrow for the show. The only spare I have is acting up, the other is being used. I don't care if it's an earlier revision or high speed as it's going in an Apple iie not a iigs. I could try to get another profile working but since I have the scsi drive ready to go this would be oh so much better :-) Let me know if any of you out there have a scsi card you're willing to lend for a couple days. Many thanks in advance! Tony Sent from my iPhone
