True, but if it looks too blatantly like advertising I'll get banned. Also: welcome Joseph M.! Looks like your first post here. Please introduce yourself .... how did you find us, where are you from, what's your background/interest in vintage computing, etc.
Been a computer nerd pretty much my whole life and for some reason find the young history of the field fascinating so have been aware of VCF via the internets for some time. I think I first heard about it from somewhere on the DIY CPU webring, probably from Bill Buzbee's page. Wasn't until I got a wild hair to move out to NYC at the end of 2013 that I realized I had also accidentally put myself smack dab next to VCFE. I attended 2014 but missed last year entirely, so this year I'm making up for it by staying all weekend. Current projects: too numerous to completely enumerate, I'm one of those people who starts a million ideas and finishes none of them and trying to fix that. Big ones: currently dealing with a garage-worth (about 50 machines or so) of old macs that I bought off of a guy in Jersey. Trying to fix and list what I can in order to keep the stuff I want while breaking even on the whole thing. Lots of recapping in my future. The other somewhat relevant project is building a simple board around a 65816 CPU. So far, since I'm too cheap to buy an EEPROM programmer apparently, I built an Apple II host card that lets me suspend the 65816 (on a breadboard), inject code into its SRAMs, and then return control. Haven't worked on it in a while, so hoping to bring my crap this weekend and spend some evenings in my hotel room hacking on that.

65816 boards? Cool stuff. I'll be at the Tandy booth this weekend, so come say hi if you want. Always great to see new nerds joining ;) On Tue, Mar 28, 2017 at 2:25 PM, Joseph Marlin via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

I'll swing by! Just got a model 3 myself earlier this year after much pining. The '816 is fascinating-- I like to imagine a world where everything was dominated by a 65x architecture instead of x86. I was actually originally going to go with a 68k, but lost all but one in a move and then accidentally blew up the last one.

Hi Joseph, I have some 68000 chips in plastic dips. I will try my best to locate them before the weekend. I am somewhat of a hoarder so it's good that I am pretty sure where they are. I am a vendor so look for me in the vendor room/consignment area. Regards, Jeff Galinat On 3/28/2017 3:34 PM, Joseph Marlin via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

But are you sending your chips off to their doom, Jeff? On Tue, Mar 28, 2017 at 4:02 PM, Jeff Galinat via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

Stop by the Apple exhibit, we can trade old Mac stories! I feel for you, have a storage unit filled with macs that are waiting for a recap and a new home (minus the ones I'm keeping! Tony Sent from my iPhone

Drop in a couple of flash chips and you'll have long term storage. Add the correct code and the CPU can write to it also. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies

Sorry forgot, I'm also going to try and add the 65816 to my Atari 600xl. It's on a long line of things to do (sorry). -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
