Tales of VCF 5.0?

It was a great event, thanks to Sellam and his help. I live in the Chicago area, but happened to be in the San Jose area for VCF 5.0. The talks that I went to were quite interesting and in talking to Bruce Damer, the founder of http://www.digibarn.com , I was able to hook up with Howard Palmer, the originator of mazewar on the Imlac. Druce has a nice story about the history of mazewar on his site. Since I have a running Imlac (which I took to VCF East 1.0, I was very interested in finding out if the source for mazewar was still around, and I now have a copy. Hopefully, I will be able to make the necessary additions to my Imlac assembler to allow me to assemble the code and run it on my Imlac. If Bob Shannon were to build a long vector board for his Imlac, then we might be able to play mazewar against each other. When I finally finish my work on my Imlac emulator, others will hopefully be able to play it as well. So, for me, VCF 5.0 was wonderful! I got to meet a number of interesting people, etc. Sorry, but I didn't take any pics of significance at the show. I'm sure that some will show up on the http://www.vintage.org site in the not too distant future. --tom At 04:59 PM 10/28/2002 -0500, you wrote:
