VCFMW 2019

VCFMW 14 was a whole new experience as we moved to our biggest location yet (Waterford Banquets in Elmhurst, IL). Attendance was beyond our wildest dreams and we all made lots of new friends!

A typical scene during load-in.

Let the show begin!

My machines travel in style and are known for the Pelican case they arrive in.

My table, showing André Fachat's GeckOS, which I gave a talk about. Here's the video, and here are my slides.

Jim Brain shows his new product, an MMU for the Commodore 64.

Jim also brought this piece of vintage hardware, often used as a Commodore 64 monitor.

The Cactus is a self-built 6502 machine. Here its creator Z sets it up.

And here is the Cactus in all its glory.

A Power PC Amiga in a 1541 case... scandalous!

My picture, from a Game Boy camera and printer. Who knew?

You can get this clear Mac SE/30 case from maceffects.com.

There were lots of telephones this year, connected by this...

...and this! The POS displays read "For a good time, call..."

Everything must go...

...including the vacuum tubes. You know you're going to need some for your ENIAC!

Ever see a BeBox, the machine built to run BeOS?

Here's a NeXT workstation.

And here's a Sun workstation.

Patrick Finnegan gave a talk about the Televideo machines.

And in the now-I've-seen-everything category, here's a Sony Watchman clone running Linux.

Surprise! The Watchman has a Pi Zero inside.

See you next year!
