The Vintage Computer Festival is getting tons of goodies from me. This year i’ve got literally three carloads! (thanks Eric & Harry) Some is so good it’s destined for the consignment room. Don’t worry i’ve got plenty for the free table. i’ve got a box of unused 3.5″ 500GB PATA disks! spares for the xRAID. who needs 7TB of 2GB fiber SAN? Form an orderly line please.
As the Vintage Computer Festival Socal jumps back into action, I make good on my promise to bring a car full of ancient equipment. All free to a good home. As usual there were amazing systems from every era running and in beautiful shape. I even saw a man in an SGI kimono!
UPDATE: another carload including X10 automation and lots of original software in boxes. also, a pile of network gear!
There were so many incredible computers from the 70s, 80s, and 90s! Beautiful computers that might have just been taken out of the box. I got to play with an Amiga 4000 with a Video Toaster! (My dream box from the 90s) I used a Commodore Pet that is older than i am. Some of my favorite stuff is modern boards that work with the vintage computers like micro SD floppy drives and Wi-Fi modems.
