Nice to put a face and voice to a name I’ve known for many years! Must buy one 
of those kits before it’s too late, pity the display part seems to only be 
available from one US site since I have most of the other bits needed, hey ho.

Cheers

As the proud owner (and builder) of said badge, I recorded my build, in 
case anyone cares.  Only 1 mistake :-)


It's a long build, done late at night (so liesurely pace), and I 
deviated a bit from the build instructions, so take with a pinch of salt.

Lee tells me that an hour or so on the phone with PayPal resolved the
automatic-shipping issue.  But if not, he's set up to refund shipping
if necessary.

Ed - Lee Hart's contact info is on his page.  I don't know what sort
of time he has before the show but you might ask him to put aside a
kit to build later at some additional cost.  I don't have anything to
do with fulfilling the kit orders (and you don't want me building
yours!)

Same here, can't go to the show, but did buy a kit, also can verify the
website says shipping included but got a shipping charge for $5.

I'd reject a refund if one is proposed, since I can't go to the show, toss
my $5 in the "round of beer" fund for the badge team.

The page is Lee Hart's.  Not sure if he's on this list (you out there,
Lee??)  I will forward this message to him now, though.  I believe it
was supposed to include shipping for domestic orders.

Just a note, looks like your checkout is hitting US orders for $5 shipping
($40 total) on the deluxe kit). I still think that's totally reasonable.

Thanks,
Jonathan

Awesome! I can't make it this year, but I'm buying the deluxe kit :)

I need to get on the "production" version of my 16-segment character
display nametag...

Thanks,
Jonathan

VCF Midwest: 6502 Badges!

[Jason T via cctalk]

I am pleased to announce that the 12th year of the Vintage Computer
Festival Midwest will feature a commemorative battery-powered "badge"
computer, based on a real 65C02 microprocessor!  The brains behind
this creation are none other than our perennial guests Lee Hart, Daryl
Rictor and Josh Bensadon, names you surely know from their 1802 and
Z80 Membership Card "Altoids tin" computers and other vintage
microprocessor-based projects.

The badge kit is available for pre-order by mail and at VCF Midwest
(vcfmw.org) on September 9-10, 2017, at a cost of only $5 for the bare
board, $25 for the basic kit (PCB and board parts) and $35 for a
deluxe kit consisting of PCB, parts, battery holder and rechargeable
batteries and a USB-serial adapter, with free shipping in the USA!
(Ask about pricing for international orders).

Kits will be available in limited quantities before the show as parts
are sourced.  Bare PCBs will be more numerous.

All available information, including a parts list, schematics, manuals
and software, can be found here at Lee's page here:

http://www.sunrise-ev.com/6502.htm

And here is Daryl's page, featuring his own projects:

http://sbc.rictor.org/

Order yours today and build it in time for the show!
