WTB/ISO: Intel MCS-48 and Prompt 48 Hardcopy Documentation
by systems_glitch 10 May '18

10 May '18

All, I'm looking for hardcopy documentation on the Intel MCS-48 series of microcontrollers and Prompt 48 development system. I've got all of the various PDFs, but I like having book copies to work out of. Prefer to pick up at VCF East, of course :) Thanks, Jonathan

VCF East XIII - Building 9059 Room Planning
by Jeffrey Brace 09 May '18

09 May '18

FYI 9059 will be our classroom instead of the model train room down the hall from the museum. So I took pictures of the room: <https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HNi6Lnajl6TxhKhlkW8YT5UltKYSwamh> Looks like they put new tiles on the floor, painted them and the walls. Also there are new electrical outlets on the wall as well as ethernet ports. The projector screen is there *and* works. I made sure to test that it unrolls. The projector on the ceiling *doesn't* work, so we need to supply one. I counted 22 adult chairs and 10 childrens chairs, so I won't count them. I had thought about mentioning this room a few times in our VCF East planning, but we never go through our list so I kept forgetting about it.

I found a pic of the terminal with the keyboard and garage...if anyone has (at least) the keyboard and garage they'd like to sell I'd be interested! https://www.flickr.com/photos/chiclassiccomp/451684314/ Jeff aka Bags

VCF East XIII - T-shirt Arrival & Preparation
by Jeffrey Brace 08 May '18

08 May '18

They were expected to arrive May 16, but I got a message from UPS that they will be delivered tomorrow 5/8. A whole 8 days ahead of schedule. So I need to give t-shirts to: 1) Exhibitors 2) Volunteers 3) Instructors Who else are we giving t-shirts to? I want to separate them out. I should have all of their sizes. Now I'm wondering about folding them. Who can do this? Laura? It needs to be done by Thursday night, so that they are ready to go Friday. -- ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President Vintage Computer Federation

Museum Report 2018-05-06 May 6, 2018

Got here earlier than usual because of the weekend event says the museum should be open at 12. Tony was here moving the new backdrop for the featured artifact. I helped him move it. He also measured his exhibit table and looked at the Apple //. We had about a dozen visitors today from the casual run through, to the give me a tour to the move extensive long tour. Connor S stopped by with his mother and grand parents visiting from St. Louis. I let him try some BASIC programming on the original chiclet PET as well as play Little Computer People on the Commodore 64. I asked him for an update on his science fair that he did on vintage computers. It sounded like it went well. I assessed the state of various machines to see how we could get more demos running on them. One thing that I would like to have is a MOD player for the Amiga 1000 called EdPlayer. Could someone bring that in? I would love to get other micros working in the museum such as: Getting the floppy drive working on the TRS-80 and run some demo on that machine. Getting an iPod to load programs into the Apple /. Getting the tape drive working on the Commodore PET etc. -- ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President Vintage Computer Federation

Museum Report 2018-05-05 May 5, 2018

Dozens of casual visitors going through the museum It was a big event all over Monmouth County. It was Weekend in Old Monmouth advertised via Monmouth County Historic Commission. One unique visitor worked on the project for the Original IBM PC. She said that the group making it took the little name plate and put it on badges. But one guy objected because the name plate was supposed to be for production computers. She recognized the manuals and asked where was DisplayWriter. It's fun when you get visitors that have worked on the original machines. -- ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President Vintage Computer Federation
