Hello vintage computing fans across the country and
around the globe
(that's right - we're international!) The 17th Vintage Computer
Festival Midwest is coming up in just two weeks! The hotel is sold out
(months ago!), the tables are all booked (and then some!), now all we
need is YOU!
I will be at the VCFMW both days. I am bringing a bunch of
stuff to sell. I have a big box of Q-bus boards from my
Micro-VAX II system. I also have two ESDI disks that have
VMS 4.7 on them, and an Emulex QD21 controller. I'm hoping
somebody at the Fest can image the disk that was last used.
I also have a Nat Semi 16032 system that I cloned back about
1982. This was built on the Multibus I bus. Unfortunately
I overwrote the disk with VMS when I set up my VAX.
I also have a whole bunch of Nat Semi 16032 development
boards from a multiprocessor project (Multibus I).
I also have a Multibus I ADC board from Data Translation.
I also have a Nat Semi 8500 graphics demo board.
And, not for sale, I will be showing a Honeywell Alert
airborne CPU that was developed in 1965 for the X-15
project, to help get the pilot back to Edwards AFB with the
right energy to land in one shot.
It was the first all IC computer delivered. (The Apollo
Guidance Computer project started first, but due to the
complex software, it was delivered a bit later.)
