What's a good way to upgrade my Amiga 1000. I like to get it setup which would let me download Amiga software online and transfer the files to my A1000 as I do with my C64 and Apple][. I do have the 1MB memory expansion already. Is there something like the uIEC with the SD card from Jim Brain...

Anyone have pdf schematics for the Vector Hi-Res Graphics board [S-100] The usual websites didn't have one yet This is from 1977, a similar design as the Dazzler but much higher resolution,256x240 Although it's not color, it does have 16 level grey scale at 128x120, I think it was a nice design...

Anyone have some success with getting the right tools to setup a workflow for building a cross platform coding on the Apple ][ ? I found some tools already which I hope someone can give us some advice to build a practical workflow. While helping Evan from the VCFed museum on his Lego robot...

Anyone come across some 8212's with any strange markings. I bought these a long time ago, so I can't recall which parts supplier had them. The part# is 8212P but it has no vendor symbol or prefix And the datecode has TSL9445 I didn't think they were still made 20yrs later ​And the prefix on the...

FYI, a good deal on User port connectors, 10/$15 just picked up a bag other common places are price gouging you on this part. http://www.memotronics.com/commodore-pet-cbm-64-c64-sx64-128-vic20-user-port-connector-pcb-mount-10-pcs/ ​would be nice to find a matching enclosure for this too...

[best viewed in1080p] The player screens are small cause the screenshot video extends over 2 monitors. I'll have to make another video later with my tablet so I can zoom in closer. I turned off the soundfx for now I promised some of you that I would give an update about this. This is the first...

I was curious about this. I was looking into building a Win95 box to run some old network games. And if anyone has tried to install Win95 on a faster motherboard. I seem to recall something inhibiting Win95 from being installed on newer motherboards, back then, when the newest OS was Win98...

gathered a little info about the S-100 timing when using Phantom

Yes, there were a few thing sI noticed after I posted that Also, we have a thread running in parallel on the MARCH group list by the same Op And so there were a few replies that were out of sync with this thread :) I reposted them from there to help complete the discussion ​If you have a...

Here's a diagram showing the +5v Caps - there's very little. There's also a Zener wired across +5v in there as a protection for when the incorrect power supply voltage is connected. This can be suspect too - just lift one leg and measure the resistance.

Bill, Not sure where you placed the meter probes for the measurement But you want to measure with a Digital Multi Meter [DMM] first, not with the ESR meter, on the +5V power rail. You like to check the in-circuit resistance of the entire board first. but I attached a pic showing a very easy...

I'm trying to find the pinout for this HP AlphaStation power supply, Part# 30-50662-01, Power Supply Unit (375-WATT). I've been looking online for the manual without any luck. I was hoping somebody might have some leads on this. I don't have the computer itself to trace all the connections. I...

Think there's any place left in the World that might still make Core Memory ? I know it's a stretch I've read that the ordinary Ferrite Cores that being sold aren't good enough - as they are the 'Soft' Ferrite Cores. You actually need 'Hard' Ferrite Cores which retain the magnetism, and having...

Was there ever a version of BASIC that supported complex numbers ?? This topic just came up the other day when I helped someone adjust their Square Root code. Basically, checking for negative numbers when you input a number to avoid a math error. Now FORTRAN and C has supported complex numbers...

Looking for Amiga 1000 Kickstart and Workbench disks I somehow misplaced them after being packed up for so long. I'm glad the A1000 still boots up fine, but until I find some disks I'm not sure if the floppy drive is still ok. I wasn't sure if the A1000 version stops at ver1.2 or ver1.3 Dan

Highway To Hex I've been fortunate enough to design the T-Shirts for VCF East for the past 3 yrs now. This design is another one I made to celebrate the event. You can see the official T-shirt which I donated time to make for the museum at the last show, VCF East 7.0, last month in May--...

I have some Core memory from a guy who worked at Four Phase. They're made by Fabri-Tek and he remembers these being used in some IBM system - the best he can remember. The really cool thing about this is that it's assembled in a way where it folds up. I have some pics at the links below. I'm...

uploaded first video from VCF it's 1hr15min long, whew! VCF East 7.0 Lectures: Early Microcomputing This has several important folks from the 60s, 70s, 80s as guest panelists discussing how they were involved first hand from the beginning of the microcomputer era...
