Hi guys, Just out of curiosity, is anyone planning to attend the UK Vintage Computer Festival this year? The one that's running on the 19th and 20th of June at Bletchley Park? I'm toying with the idea of booking some time off work and going down on the train for either the Saturday or the Sunday; I'd rather like to see the talks by Sophie Wilson and Tony Sale, although it'd be nice to meet up with a few of the UK-based classiccmp'ers as well. The mailing list is fine, but it'd be nice to put names to faces :) I also figure the "VCF Flea Market" might be a good way to get my sticky paws on some 8-inch floppy drives, discs and possibly an MFM hard drive and controller pair or two. I still don't have a working 8in drive to test the DiscFerret with... Speaking of which, I could be persuaded to bring the current "circuit test" prototype down with me, though booking a table will probably be a real pig at this late stage, and I'm willing to wager it's probably going to be too expensive for my budget anyway (I'm saving my last ?150 to get a run of prototype PCBs made!)...
