Hello everyone!

It was awesome meeting you all at the museum!

Definitely it would be nice to have more meetings.

Now I have a lot of work with the scans and pictures I took, hehe :mrgreen:

I'd like to give my warmest thanks to Tony for having me and showing me the city. You're a great host!

The Dragon community is indeed one of the friendlier communities I know of.

Big hug!

It was great to meet and talk with everyone and the time went by all too quickly. I would love to do it all again :)

I will echo what everybody else has said - was great to meet up - didn't get the chance to chat to everybody, or for long enough. I think its safe to say we do need to do this again, maybe over 2 days.

I just uploaded my pictures to a Google Photos album.

You can watch them here.

I'll echo this.

The way the Acorn guys often do it is to meetup on friday night, and go home on Sunday, which you get one full day plus most of sunday and friday evening. Also allows for people that can only make it for part of the time to pop in and still take part.

I'm glad it all went well, and was actually quite surpprised by the number of people that turned up, roll around the next time.

Cheers.

Phill.

Well, I would only be too happy to organise another one - and I agree, it's tempting to do it for a little longer too. I also have a couple ideas as to how to improve it too! Shall we pencil in the same weekend for 2018? :)

Cheers, Tony

Sounds like a plan but why wait a year :) :)

The Acorn bods are up to 3-4 a year now :) :) And yeah I know there are probably less people in the Dragon / Tandy community :)

Cheers.

Phill.

I love the idea of meeting more often, but maybe say one date in the calendar is the 'main event' and that way you've got the best chance of meeting the most people?

@Tony
Many thanks for stepping up! Looks like you've started something big :D

I've finished the two Alpha boards I scanned at the museum, you can see the pictures here.

I'm now working on the Beta pictures that Richard Harding sent me.

Aaaaand, I've also just uploaded the pictures of the modem cartridge.

I think that Phill mentioned that he had the eprom for that board. If that's the case, could you please upload it here so I can add it to the Modem Cartridge page?

Thanks a lot!
