It might be useful to verify software is 1000 compatible, not all boot on a 1000.
Yes. As the docent found some software crashed which is likely due to incompatibility.

I have the old Amiga 1000 RobotCity demo on floppy. I also have boot and games disks for the TRS and I suppose I can get it working. I'll see about coming to the workshop to work on these.

What are you using to demo the 1040ST?
I'll also see if I can get my Amiga floppy drives working this weekend to produce some disks for the 1000

Hello! Jeff did you call for the Doctor? Because I'll be there on the Saturday. I speak Apple 2 speak and can finagle enough strangeness for the PCjr to get along with it.

Jeff Salzman will be working making a backup boot disk for the Zorba.
One
of them stopped working. He will also take a look at the H89.
We also need good demos to run on the Amiga 1000. Some of the disks don't seem to work *and* apparently some disks have the SCA virus. Could someone bring a disinfectant?
The museum also has an SD card reader for the Vic-20. I just haven’t had time to set it up yet. Maybe someone can help me figure it out and pick some good demos.
Also the museum 1541 drive on the C64, has issues. I had swapped it out for another one, but haven't had the chance to try simple troubleshooting like a disk cleaner, etc. It has JiffyDOS and is cosmetically better than the one I swapped. Maybe someone can take a look at it.
Jason Perkins will look at the Lisa as it doesn't boot now.
I would like a better demo for the Atari 1040ST. If anyone has a better suggestion for a disk, please let me know.
Also need someone to install the SD card read for the IBM PCjr.
The Apple 2 seems to be having issues again. It might just need a card to be reseated.
Does anyone have experience getting the TRS-80 working with a floppy drive? I'd like to get some demos working on that machine.
I think that's all.
