Somebody gifted me a very special shirt. Thanks Simon! #vcfmw #vcfmw19 #VCFe #VCFe24

I was pretty amazed when I first saw this, thinking these were all genuine originals. No. But they are a *very* cool kit!

I really enjoyed this booth at #VCFMW19. Sadly didn't get the name or fedi handle of the folks presenting it, but I had no idea about the IBM AS/400 machines.

You don't have this #RetroComputer ... This is the Pecom 64, made in Serbia from 1985. It uses the very unusual RCA 1802 microprocessor. This is the only one known to be in North America.

Here's the large disk pack (about a foot in diameter) on the System/36 running. This is a hard disk! #vcfmw #vcfmw19

The DEC vt100 wasn't the first terminal, but it was one of the most successful early ones. And the System/36 was an early and influential IBM mainframe. #vcfmw #vcfmw19

Wow! Vintage Computer Festival Midwest is the largest vintage computer festival ever, anywhere. I've seen: old IBM System/36 mainframe (running its disk pack!), an entire analog telephone network for the show (complete with DSL), AT&T Unix workstations, CP/M, a DEC vt100, and just about every PC type you can imagine. And it was fun to fly myself to Chicago! #vcfmw #vcfmw19 1/

If you have any odd SCSI devices at vcf midwest you'd like bus captures of I have my SCSI analyzer with and a bunch of cables - just let me know!

I'll be posting VCF MidWest photos from my QuickTake 150 via a PowerBook 170 with BlueSCSI Wi-Fi tethered to my iPhone - checkout a few from last night already here:
