Quiet here. Figured I'd see if it is working. ________________________________ Evan Koblentz, director Vintage Computer Federation a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit evan(a)vcfed.org (646) 546-9999 www.vcfed.org facebook.com/vcfederation twitter.com/vcfederation instagram.com/vcfederation

Intel AboveBoard AT info needed
by Richard Cini 16 May '17

16 May '17

All -- I may have posted about this before but I have an AB/AT (TTL version, not with the large GAL on it) and I'm having problems getting the software configured properly for EMS use. The driver ZIP archives on the Net are incomplete (based on errors produced from the setup program). GlenS has been helpful in piecing together info, but I have not been able to locate a complete disk or manual for the board anywhere. I do have it running as XMS based on switch settings I found and the memory tests good, so at least I've made progress. If anyone has the disk and manual let me know. Thanks!

Museum security cameras
by Evan Koblentz 16 May '17

16 May '17

Martin donated four IP security cameras to us. This was a few months ago. We need to prioritize installing them. The building has a permanently installed ladder into the attic where there is a catwalk. (No word on whether there are any cats...) We need volunteers to climb up there and install the cabling. A logical time is at our next repair workshop, but sooner would be better. I'm leaving it to Martin and Dean to coordinate the technical details.

Museum Report 5/14/17
by Douglas Crawford 15 May '17

15 May '17

Fairly slow day at the museum, likely due to Mother's Day and the weather back and forth from rain to sun. Two families came in. One had two boys in college in technology fields, CE and EE. They were fairly interested and got "the tour". The other family was not particularly tech oriented and they simply strolled through and moved on.

Museum report
by Evan Koblentz 14 May '17

14 May '17

Slow day at the museum due to a huge rainstorm. One visitor found us via a VCF East Youtube video and brought us Newtons + miscellaneous Apple things. Highlight is a boxed eMate. Another group was an older couple who visited last weekend and were so impressed that they returned today with their adult children. Today's the first day that we had a working Amiga on display. Good times. Looking forward to swapping it (the 500) for our 1000 when the keyboard is ready. Dean is retrobriting it. ________________________________ Evan Koblentz, director Vintage Computer Federation a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit evan(a)vcfed.org (646) 546-9999 www.vcfed.org facebook.com/vcfederation twitter.com/vcfederation instagram.com/vcfederation

Drove past a Radio Shack that was closing, today. Walked out with "all I could fit in a bag for $50". ... The retail total was ...wait for it ... wait for it. wait for it... $2650 (or thereabouts.) Maybe some of you should see if there are others closing down this weekend. BIll
