About 50 of the NABUs sold each hour after the video released. Adrian Black is a pretty big YouTuber and garnered a lot of attention to the listing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/394352064883 It looks like there aren’t many left, unless the seller is going to relist more They aren’t the 20 dollar local pickup from Craigslist anymore, but 60 dollars is still cheap enough. I picked one up in the hopes that someone much smarter than I helps with porting CP/M or other software. -Ian Litchfield On Sun, Nov 27, 2022 at 09:07 Duane Craps via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Did anyone take advantage of the $20 deal and have extras?

I purchased one, at the eBay price. Also bought a NABU adapter, for possible hacking. I love seeing the community doing work like this. Also FYI, the family member of several of the key NABU engineers is working on the project to get the network emulator working here: https://youtu.be/FFaWJu3hDP4 That video is some corporate history, that I thought folks here might be interested in.

With the transition to fiber, there is unused CATV coax between the makerspace & hotel, and soon the Makerspace and 9010. If asked nicely, the usual suspects can pull RG-11 between 9010 and 9036 when the 10GB fiber goes in.... On 11/29/2022 12:01 PM, Douglas Crawford via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

I don't want to take away from the gifted folks working on the units currently, but I do wish the community was more aware of the York University folks that brought the system back "on-linke" years ago: https://museum.eecs.yorku.ca/nabu In 2009, it looks like. They implemented an emulator, got the system up, and they were provided the original files in ~2010, according to the link. I believe these are the same files being used in these new videos and work efforts. Again, kudos for the current efforts, but I feel the York folks should get a bunch of credit for archiving the original files and creating the emulator. Jim

First I'm seeing this, yes we would all do well to try to be aware of past work. No idea why this didn't surface sooner and form a foundation for recent work. I would have thought the folks who started this recent work, who had history with NABU already, would have known of prior NABU restoration work. Curious.

Wow this was some amazing work bringing that system back "on-line". It would be great to see it.
I don't want to take away from the gifted folks working on the units currently, but I do wish the community was more aware of the York University folks that brought the system back "on-linke" years ago:
https://museum.eecs.yorku.ca/nabu
In 2009, it looks like. They implemented an emulator, got the system up, and they were provided the original files in ~2010, according to the link. I believe these are the same files being used in these new videos and work efforts.
Again, kudos for the current efforts, but I feel the York folks should get a bunch of credit for archiving the original files and creating the emulator.

Yes! As of last night the NABU network is fully up and running!
I have been following along with all the videos of it.
This is the latest video announcing that it’s up and how to connect.
Big thanks to DJ and others in the community worked hard to get this to this point.
I have received my NABU yesterday and I am just waiting on an RS422 adapter now to connect.

I forget who the YouTube-er was, but I did see a recent video mentioning the York U. work. It hasn’t been forgotten.
