The meeting Saturday, February 4th looks to be lots of fun, with several members demonstrating software emulators which run on a modern hardware but simulate historic computers.

These will include:

While few of us can afford to own many vintage machines, the emulators are generally free, so we can all enjoy interacting with history this way. The presenters will do demos, talk a little about the emulators and represented machines and tell us how to get them.

One thing I found from preparing my part (UNIVAC), is that getting these running and doing interesting things isn‚t as easy as one might imagine. The folks presenting will give us the tips we need to have fun with these critters, easily. Should be a hoot!

Directions to Christ the Lord Lutheran Church

Hope to see you there!

The next meeting will be our first annual swap meet on December 10! While bringing vintage computer-related stuff is encouraged, you can bring other stuff too. (Only thing is that you can’t leave it there! 😉 Also, we are opening this up to non-members for buying and selling. (Non-member sellers are asked to pre-register with David Greelish.)

Hi Folks, Thanks to all for the great meeting yesterday. Alan’s presentation on Retroelectronics really had a lot of meat in it,  ranging from surface-mount soldering to putting free MPU cores on $20 programmable logic chips, with free software tools. A slide show presentation is available for those who missed it. Really appreciate the folks who brought the analog and digital computers, and those who brought nice refreshments.
