VCFE Munich
VCFE Munich
On short notice, I will be going to the vintage computer festival Europe in Munich VCFE.org this weekend. I got asked to present FUZIX and will of course show other Dragon stuff as well, from myself and the community. Not sure how many Dragon fans will be visiting, but there will sure be more leaving than coming It is gonna be exciting, my largest retro event so far!

Re: VCFE Munich
We should have a calendar of events so we don't realize there's one with only two days notice.
That said, have a nice time there, and make sure there are videos we can see!

Here is my stand on the exhibition:
There are more pictures from the VCFE here:
I demoed other things than Fuzix as well, including the obligatory Flagon Bird which was of course well received.
A few Dragon owners came by too, I hope some of them will show up here in the forum. But most visitors (predominantly from Germany) didn't know about the Dragon and not so many about the 6809. Except the professor from Berlin who teaches assembly on 6809! For some reason on CoCo's though, sniff. Talking of which, the items in the back of my photo I found to my surprise on the festival flee market! First time I have seen this stuff, and a chance to snatch it without transatlantic shipping.
Many interesting things at the festival, difficult to pick something, but this year's theme was East-european computers, and of this in particular I have to mention Dragon 32 owner Zarko who came all the way from Serbia with some cool machines including the Galaksija which bit-bangs the video signal from its tiny BASIC ROM!
My wooden joystick again got some attention: https://plus.google.com/+WolfgangStief/ ... F1e37AxCWo Don't tell anyone it is just from last year
I had these slides that I made for a vintagebytes.ch presentation last year printed out so that filled it in quite nicely.There are more pictures from the VCFE here:
