Lisa sighting at Notacon

So I attended Notacon, and some people may be interested to know that there was a Lisa there brought by the CMU Computer Club. They hacked together a demo on it, which was pretty decent given the clock speed, etc. They claim "first lisa demo ever." --- you know how that goes around here! :) The demo concluded with the apple logo in COLOR, which they did by translating the brightness-level information into color on the FPGA board. They used an fpga development board to bring digital video signals in off the chips, and frame buffer it and output to an HDMI output port. They didn't actually scan convert it, but left it at its native resolution, which was something weird. Like 700 x 300 or something? (quick google says 720 x 364) When pushing them for more answers on details of their hacked together video solution, and ideas for scan converting --- they clammed up, and said that since they will be offering a commercial product at some point in the future, they couldn't talk about it. Weren't going to document it publicly, post it online, etc. I suppose it's not too surprising that college kids don't understand the difference between raw ideas & prototyping vs executing and marketing an actual product. I just found it disappointing that it happened at a place where the fundamental point of getting together is to share information. I guess they consider sharing a one-way street. Keith
