[vcf-midatlantic] Workshop February 11&12, 2017 Wrap-up

[Evan Koblentz]

> Ian worked on early Mac disk drives

Indeed! He got our 128K Mac drive working, but it was inconsistent so he 
swapped in an 800K drive from a Plus. He also swapped some of the guts 
from the monitor of a later PET 2001 (keyboard style) into our 
chicklet-style 2001 monitor -- I'll let him elaborate on what exactly 
those guts involved. Then he worked on the chicklet PET's cassette 
drive; he said the mechanical parts are good (needs a new belt) and 
he'll spend time on its electronics another day. Meanwhile he taught me 
how to fix the non-responsive orange buttons on an Apple // joystick 
(mostly just open the joystick, dip the buttons in alcohol, press them a 
zillion times).


> There was another guy, forget his name with an early Mac for repairs.

> You ate 7 slices of pizza.

That's not true. He ate 7 whole pizzas.
