Anyone going to VCF West 2026 (lots of Apple-1 content)?

Paul Terrel will be there from The Byte Shop and when Paul shows up, you tend to get unannounced special guests. 

 

Anyway, if you do visit the show at the Computer History Muesum in MountainView, CA on August 1st and 2nd,  pop by consignment where I am volunteering and say hello.  Just ask for Corey.  Look forward to meeting old friends and new ones from AppleFritter in person.

 

 I'm also bringing my original NTI Apple-1 board (#69 on the registry) which will be on display at the show if you want an up-close view of the real thing.  The unit on display normally at CHM is missing many of the board level power supply components (i.e. regulators) and is a byte shop board.

Awesome, thanks for bringing

Awesome, thanks for bringing such a treasure!  Looking forward to seeing it!

 

I'll bring my Apple 1 replica using Plabs' flash card, running various programs.  If anyone has suggestions on what I can demo, let me know.

 

I had heard there was going to be another replica there running chatgpt, but I don't see it listed at the moment. 

 

I will also have a selection of other early home computers from the 1970s.  I'll be right next to the Sphere one exhibit, drop by to say hi.

Hi Corey. Looking forward to the show and saying hi. I'm not exibiting this year but will still bring a couple of my boards. Just in case...
