Hit me up this weekend for the VIC-20. On Fri, Mar 25, 2022, 2:49 PM Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
Apple 2: Best as I can describe: "scrambled video". This has been a chronic problem with this machine. It seems like it is a loose video card and wires that need to be reseated, wiggled, etc. Tony knows how to make it work, but he can't always be there and the fix doesn't last very long. The other docents and I have tried to replicate what he does to no avail.
IBM PCjr: Has a floppy drive making loud noises and doesn't boot up properly. We have an SD card solution for it, but that doesn't seem to work all the time either. Dean knows how to make it work, but again it doesn't work for me or the other docents.
Vic-20: Needs great demo programs downloaded to SD card and instructions made for docents which ones they are and how to operate them.
Adam Joystick: It doesn't go up! Don't know if it can be repaired, or if it needs to be replaced.
