VCFed BBS finally happening
by Blatboy 17 Oct '16

17 Oct '16

Oh, seeing this news got me excited! I would also like to chime in for a vote to be able to call in externally. That said, I've had limited luck using a modem on the VoIP lines I have in the studio and at home... 2400 baud is ok by me. :) That said, to do it via Telnet would be ok too.

Festivus 2016 Dec. 3 & 4 INFO & signup
by Blatboy 17 Oct '16

17 Oct '16

Greetings. I'm interested in showing up one or both days. But due to various things that I'll spare you the details of, I may need to make a somewhat last minute decision. Is there a "deadline" of sorts? I have so many little projects I'd love to finish up over there around like minded souls... mostly Amiga... if that's not too bleeding edge haha. :) Walter http://www.jwalterhawkes.com http://www.blatboy.com like to know where/when I'm playing?

Festivus 2016 Dec. 3 & 4 INFO & signup sheet
by Jeffrey Brace 16 Oct '16

16 Oct '16

Even though I have posted a few times over the last few months about Festivus, apparently there are people that have missed the posts. So I will post this information to keep everyone informed of this fun event: I have prepared a list for who's going and what they will be bringing. Please put yourself down here or let me know and I will do it for you: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1flOzpjh4Wdd3Gn6B3DqWHpQmxYSQGrtFo20… LOCATION: InfoAge Building 9010A - (2201 Marconi Road, Wall Township, NJ) - It will be the classroom area that we usually have our workshops. TIME: Start about 10 A.M. on Saturday and goes late into the night until everyone sleeps. End about 5 P.M. on Sunday. (Re-starts around 10 A.M. Sunday morning) COST: $10 for all members attending the workshop, which VCF donates to InfoAge as thanks for providing the space for us. EQUIPMENT: VCF will have tables setup for food and games. Ian will be bringing his vintage video games and TVs. Dan Roganti and Jeff Brace will be setting up their Commodore 64 internet game for eight players. We will have a full sized refrigerator to temporarily store stuff. We will be borrowing a grill to cook hambugers and hot dogs outside. DRINKS: Everyone is encouraged to bring their own drinks and enough to share with others. Bring your favorite and put what you are bringing on the list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1flOzpjh4Wdd3Gn6B3DqWHpQmxYSQGrtFo20… FOOD: This is a pot luck. Bring your own favorite good and put what you are bringing on the list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1flOzpjh4Wdd3Gn6B3DqWHpQmxYSQGrtFo20… ENTERTAINMENT? It seems that interest has waned for showing movies, so I'm inclined to not bother with showing movies this year. However Ian will bring his Cards Against Humanity and we will be playing that! -- Jeff Brace - ark72axow(a)gmail.com

Looking for a TI Silent 707 1200baud for the VCF Museum
by Corey Cohen 14 Oct '16

14 Oct '16

I'm donating a spare PiDP-8 to the museum which has a serial interface that can't go below 1200baud. If we can find one of the smaller TI Silent terminals that goes that fast, we can hook it up to the PiDP so that we can have it run hands on demos and visitors can take the result with them. It would be really cool for people to have a takeaway from the museum when they visit. So if anyone has one of these TI Silent units they can donate to VCF Museum let me know. Thanks, Corey corey cohen uǝɥoɔ ʎǝɹoɔ

Can Anyone Take IC Die Micrographs?
by Systems Glitch 14 Oct '16

14 Oct '16

I've decapped a house-numbered IC and taken a look with my 40x loupe, it appears to be some sort of memory device, but I don't have enough magnification to see any die text or anything. Can anyone on this list take a micrograph at > 40x for me? I won't need the IC back unless it's convenient to get it to me at the next get-together I'm able to attend or something. Figured I've got a tube of them and it might be nice to know what they are :) They're in side-brazed ceramic carriers, so it was easy to decap with a bastard file. Thanks, Jonathan
