OT: Looking for network setup resource near Lake Hiawatha, NJ
by william degnan 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

I am looking for network hardware support resource near Lake Hiawatha, NJ. Independent contractors contact me privately for poss contract or work. Must know firewall/routing in a small business. I can train but overlapping previous knowledge will be required. I have a customer for whom I am setting up a high-security small business network, remotely. There may be some ongoing support that needs to be done on site and I don't want to drive 2-3 hours each way for this on an ongoing basis. I want to be able to recommend someone near this location. In short whatever can be done remotely will be, but sometimes someone needs to go to the customer location. Interested? Contact me via degnanco.net (my company) contact form. Bill

Workshop 7/17/16
by Jeffrey Brace 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

So I got there by 10am, others showed up at 12pm. I worked on the Commodore 64 robot and got a working robot with the huge assistance of David and Jonathan G. who helped me to redesign the project from the manual to actually make something that worked well. I will make another robot device or two on Wednesday for HOPE. Bill Dromgoole finished testing the Univac generator and worked getting the teletype for the Univac working. Bill I. worked on the Analog EAI computer and did some documenting of the system. Jeff Jonas floated around and assisted everyone all day. Jonathan G. worked on his Dectalk -III Power supply unit. It was a lot of fun and we wrapped things up around 6pm or so. Can others add more details to what they did? == Jeff Brace

Has anyone here played the Pokémon Go game? If so, what team are you on? -- Normal Person: Hey, it seems that you know a lot. Geek: To be honest, it's due to all the surfing I do. Normal Person: So you go surfing? Normal Person: But I don't think that has anything to do with knowing a lot... Geek: I think that's wrong on a fundamental level. Normal Person: Huh? Huh? What?

Unusual workshop hours :)
by Evan Koblentz 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

The museum workshop stopped at 9pm last night, but I didn't start at home until 7pm. Stayed up until now (5:45am) working on Lego stuff for my HOPE game next weekend. Redesigned the reduction gearbox for compactness. Now it's half the size and just as efficient. We only have two motors. One opens and closes the garage door to let cars down the track. The other moves the garage sideways for aiming the cars. Players will control both of them using my BASIC program, so I dug through my big box o' childhood Legos and found some computer-y looking parts from a Lego space station model. I will make a little control room. If anyone asks, that's what runs all the action. :) Going to sleep for a while and get back to building and coding later.

Workshop 7/16 report
by Jeffrey Brace 17 Jul '16

17 Jul '16

Alex and I were the first to arrive today. He helped me setup the tables in the room. I started him working on the Hero 1 Robot. Alex can provide deals, but he was unable to get the Hero 1 working. :( Later Bill Dromgoole came and worked on the generator for the Univac. He can provide you his progress report. Dean and Drew worked on and fixed their three Vic-20 keyboards. They also helped out myself with setting up the wi-fi network better as well as did a food run to Taco Bell. Jeff Jonas and Bill I. helped bring over and do a cursory check of the EAI analog machine. Bill I. will be working on this tomorrow. I worked on helping get everyone setup and settled and was docent at the museum. There were about a dozen visitors. I started sorting out the parts for the C64 robot, and picked out all the parts for a project to build. I will work build it tomorrow. Everyone shared knowledge and helped it each other out. It was great fun! We ended the night rather early for a workshop at around 9pm. We start again tomorrow at 10am.

Looking for the CompuPro monitor code
by Richard Cini 16 Jul '16

16 Jul '16

All – I’m planning ahead for another S100 project and wondered if anyone had the CompuPro 8088/8086 Monitor-Debugger code or manual. I did some searching and I haven’t hit on it yet, so I thought I’d ask. I’d like to get my 8086/87 and System Support Board working. Thanks!
