I can't make it to VCF this weekend - though I'm hoping to make it to the one in September.
I actually am looking for something: any working IEC device for a C64 (1541 drive, printer, plotter?). More for an experiment than collection, but do prefer clean and presentable. Earlier this year, I reached someone with a working Poly-88. But then in March they reported health issues and hospital stays, so I haven't heard since. Would be interested if anyone else is aware of a still-working one. We're still working on recovery of an IBM 5100 "launch title" tape (analytic functions) - practicing with other tapes first. Its 2-channel deal so far isn't quite that straightforward. But if the Tektronics folks can do it with their QIC tapes, I'm somewhat hopeful we can too (although late 70s/early 80s Tektronic is apparently a more proper IEEE-488). Only thing I could offer right now is a fairly not-working 5110 (display don't work, PSU don't work, cards don't work - but the case is pristine). -Steve On Thu, Aug 3, 2023 at 8:49 PM Fred Cisin via cctalk <cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > >> I did not get any of whatever mailings there were. > >> > >> I don't exhibit, but I do have an excessive amount of stuff to sort and > >> pack for sale and giveaway. > >> -- > >> Grumpy Ol' Fred ci...@xenosoft.com > > > On Thu, 3 Aug 2023, Sellam Abraham via cctalk wrote: > > We'll just have to organize a VCF Fred at some point.
