(I think the highest number was 5... ???) I have an AT&T 6300 with monochrome and color monitors. Monochrome jobby works, color is broken. I've already located and replaced a few bad components, can't seem to get the CRT to come totally alive though. The 6300 works (or worked) when I tested it last. I didn't think anyone else would be bringing them but seeing as Alex is interested, I'll bring mine!! Olivetti/AT&T party!!! WOOT!!! Other than that, I'll probably bring whatever else I'm actively working on by then. As far as current projects, that's going to be a Commodore SX-64, a TRS-80 Model 4P, or a Commodore VIC-20. If I'm a real glutton for punishment, I might bring my Macintosh Color Classic that has had me stumped for months now. Additionally, I'll have my EEPROM burning machine w/some blanks, various parts, and tools including a desoldering iron. I'll also bring a nice oscilloscope. Looking forward to it! -Todd

06- Bill Dromgoole - Plan on working on Univac 1532 mods for 60 Hz operation.
I've been meaning to announce this to everyone, so here goes: we are finally doing something interesting with the Univac. Of course, "interesting" is subjective. I was thrilled that we were able to display it a few VCF East shows ago, and I'm downright ecstatic that much of the system now has a full-time home in our new museum vs. hiding in storage. Bill Drom. (and Duane, who's attending this June workshop all the way from North Carolina) jointly emailed me recently and asked if they can start actually doing something with the computer by working on the paper tape console. Yes!! This makes a lot of sense because it's the smallest piece of the system (easiest to move) and we have three extra consoles, so there's a great chance they can make one fully working unit.
