Had a great time at the Retro Computer Festival yesterday. Very nice to meet Timbucus, Coolsnaz2 and Phil__G in person and I'm sure there were others that I didn't get the names of. The centre for computing history doesn't look like much from the outside but there was lot's going on inside. An amazing range of equipment on display from the exhibitors and of course the centre's own displays were all accessible too. Managed to get 'Realview' set up alongside Tim's retro gear. Was the first time I'd seen a real SoC VDU card and Tim graciously allowed me to plug the DM8678 character generator replacement into it to see if it would work - and it did!
Another highlight was seeing the original
prototype of the ZX Spectrum. Looked just like something you would have made yourself on a 6U vero card back in the day.
