Dang Bob, must have missed you. I did arrive after 10:30AM. Did get to see
a lot of other folks and picked up a 'broken' curiosity from Dean. An Atari
800 drive with an 8031 processor. Interesting little beast I'll have to
tear into it and figure it out.

Dean, it's not a bit processor like I stated earlier. It is a microcontroller
and it was good at moving bytes & bits around. Still a surprise to see it in
an Atari drive (Intel family).

This isn't the 810 or 1050, my guess it's a Rana drive but I need to look it
up.

BTW, overall I had fun. Jeff B. and others tried to bend my pinky to attend
VCF East in October. I'm looking forward to it.
