After a chat with Evan, Indy it is! Just signed up. I will refine the description and scope of it as I play around with it some more over the next couple weeks. My wife and I have built a Raspberry Pi + thermal printer photobooth for our wedding and other events; I will try to bring part of that along for IndyCam images to be printed, and visitors can take the printouts as souvenirs. David Geisswein: Your project is definitely complementary and I look forward to seeing it, One of my dream projects is an Atari Compugraph Foto (https://petapixel.com/2012/07/20/atari-compugraph-foto-an-ascii-art-photo- booth/ ) so I think we¹re of like minds here. ;) I had also prototyped a Twitter feed from the Pi¹s camera which will be interesting to try to make work in IRIX. /jka On 1/24/17, 12:12 PM, "Jeff Salzman via vcf-midatlantic" <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
My vote is for the Indy, Jameel!

There are 10 standard exhibits (no counting the three team exhibits which
equal about 15 standard exhibits, so 25 total).

I'm excited!
Needs some big iron and S-100. :)
I don't have either, but if something shows up that required a freight truck to move it, I'd be happy to help unload it. ;)
I have been thinking over the past week on what I might want to exhibit. Still not 100%, but I'm leaning towards "early 90s UNIX workstations" since its mainly what I do. I really want an interactive exhibit that people can play with, so I'm tending towards the graphical. "It's a UNIX System, I Know This!" would be a fine title. :)
Trying to decide between these, in rough order of preference:
* DECstation 3100 + Ultrix w/X11 - (~ 1989) I've had this machine for ages and have never got around to bringing it up. This needs a clean Ultrix install, ignoring the fact that Y2K ever happened, and some sort of application software that a regular human could operate. This is the most uncertain for me, but it wins in terms of obscurity. ;)
* SGI Indy - With Indycam and the bundled demo software this one's easy and full of eye candy. Might hook up a thermal printer and make this a "photobooth" kind of thing. (~1993-1994)
