Anybody coming to Zurich for VCFe.CH this weekend?
« on: November 21, 2018, 08:28:44 am »
Just curious -- is anybody else around here planning to come to Zurich for the Vintage Computer Festival this weekend, November 24th and 25th? I have missed last year's event, but did attend two years ago. Great atmosphere at the Rote Fabrik, an old factory turned event location, right on the shore of Lake Zurich.

I will be there this Saturday (24th), and talk about the RPC-4000 -- one of the last computers built around a magnetic drum, and the machine starring in the Story of Mel. :-)  I will briefly introduce my replica project too, although the replica is still suffering from a distinct lack of software... 

If you happen to be there too, I'd love to shake hands!

Interesting.

I just joined this forum to find a home for a Data General Nova 2, that is a pull from a CNC control.

As it was in an industrial control it is missing the normal front panel, but was booting from toriod-core when pulled.

Maybe someone there wants it?

Indeed, that might be of interest to some of the collectors there. There aren't too many working core-memory machines around these days! -- Also, maybe you could ping the organizers and ask whether they have room for a last-minute exhibit?  ;)

sounds an interesting event, would have been fun to visit but it's too far away!
