This is a thread to discuss the new forums. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly. Please keep it civil and try to help each other find stuff that may have moved. Thanks!

Hello folks, This weekend we will be migrating hosts for all of the www.vcfed.org properties and, in the process, we will be upgrading the forum software from our current 4.2.5 version to the latest version 5 release. This upgrade will add some significant new features and will make the forums...

Hey gang, We've had a slew of issues related to the transition of our former host to a new one and to an unfortunate hack on the forums. There have been several threads about all of these issues and I want to make sure that we've addressed them. 1. Are the hacks/malware gone? I believe...

Hello, I'm on the hunt for some LOGO turtles for a project at the Computer History Museum. Does anyone have any they're willing to part with or a line on some I could beg or buy? I'd also like LOGO for Apple ][ and Atari if anyone is willing. Thank you,

As some of you may have already seen in a thread, our forums were hacked and a malicious program was inserted. This code was designed to turn visitors computers into bitcoin miners for the hacker. We have cleaned the forums and upgraded the software to a newer, more secure version. If you are...

A production in LA needs an on set expert for Thursday November 2 and Monday November 6 to help with some mid-1980s Tandy tech. Please let me know if you are in the area and interested. I'll put you in touch.

Heya gang, VCF West is fast approaching and we're going to have to cut off exhibitor registrations soon so I can craft and print the program, lay out the space, etc. So if you're planning to register an exhibit, please do it now! Even if you're just thinking about it, please do it now! :)...

I've been trying to finish the restoration of a B&H Apple ][+ for some time. It came in without a key and I've since replaced the key switch and found the replacement key cap but don't have, and can't find, the little plastic spacer that goes between the switch and the key. Does anyone have...

Someone near here has a pile of Apple stuff listed on Craigslist: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/sys/5778556117.html Most is common but there is a boxed Macintosh and a working Apple Lisa 1! Too rich for my blood. YMMV.

I've been contacted by the owner of an IBM PC XT, dual floppy, dual monitor system who is interested in selling or, maybe, donating. This is in the LA area. If you want the system please contact me and I'll put you in touch with the seller.

I have two MOSTEK Micro Systems units with docs and disks. These are two separate systems. One has the original card cage and the various cards that go with it. The other has had that replaced by what appears to be a Z-80 SBC hooked into the same internals. Both are included in the package...

I've got some 8" drives in enclosures to sell. These are untested but in otherwise good condition. This one is pretty neat. First off, it's a FH Lobo drive unit. But better than that someone has hooked a Z80 SBC to the drives and bolted it underneath. $250 +/- seems to be a fair price for...

I've got some 8" drives in enclosures to sell. These are untested but in otherwise good condition. Next is the X-11 or The 11 Connexion, a generic grey unit. $250 +/- seems to be a fair price for these. I'm open to offers. One thing to consider is that I, really, really, really don't want...
