Ok, it's taken most of the week, isn't pretty and I want my Kitchen table back but It Works!! Microsoft BASIC 1.0 loaded in from paper tape 😀 Still got a little work to do as it's only seeing half the RAM but that should be an easy fix.

We are VERY excited to announce our first major retro event - RetroFest 2025, to be held at STEAM, the GWR museum in Swindon on 31st May / 1st June. Over 40 exhibitors will be bringing a vast range of computers from the 70s, 80s and 90s. More info - https://t.co/KsYqndnARv

@RMCRetro GTA? 😉

@dnstewart67 Arghh, I was thinking of giving this a watch. Might give it a miss for now.

If you're not already watching it and need your sci-fi kick, I can recommend Silo 👍

@dy_sla @DJSnM @NASASpaceflight @Erdayastronaut Probably nothing other than lack of 3rd ear? 😉

I took over 450 photos whilst attending Retrofest 24 @computermuseum. I shall post a selection from them over the coming weeks. Massive thanks to @HereBeDragons3 , the museum and their amazing volunteers for making it all happen and to @BreakIntoProg for the chat and taking me...

@capnrob9756 @computermuseum It's an Intel SIM-8 which was their first development system for the 8008 CPU. Dates to around mid 1972.

All set up and ready for the Retro Festival at @computermuseum 🙂

[DevilishDesign - @devilishdesign.bsky.social @Devilish_Design]

@KevEdwardsRetro @computermuseum @BreakIntoProg Me too! It's always the highlight of my retro computing year. Look forward to seeing you there!

@HereBeDragons3 @RoboNuggie Maybe used a Micro Chroma 68 board (6808 + 6847) along with an EXORterm keyboard?

Photo is a 68 board and link to the manual... https://t.co/qZbVBh0m6D

I've just been shown this, and I would love to know more ahead of my homage to the Motorola 6847 next weekend at the Retro Computer Festival in Cambridge! It's from the Frank Lloyd Wright 'House of the Future' in Arizona from 1979 ...

@rhayadercompute Not sure about the coloured labels but the small ones at the top are definitely for covering the quartz windows on EPROMs 😉

[Retro & Homebrew Computing @6502nerd]

Calling all lovely nerds to the retro computer festival @computermuseum 9th and 10th of November - next weekend! Hope to see you there!🤓🤞🏾🤘🏾👍🏾

@mrdoornbos Thanks! Thought I had the film playing when I wrote the BASIC program the other year but I might have pinched the list from a web page.

[DevilishDesign - @devilishdesign.bsky.social @Devilish_Design]

One week to go! Just setting up some games on one of my exhibits...

[Computing History @computermuseum]

The exhibitor list is live - and this year looks to be the best ever! We'll have live PERQ repairs, Soviet Calculators, a MacPlus clone, Core Wars, Acorn Systems 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and a whole bunch of Youtubers ... and there's still more to be added. https://t.co/yXvwhGkdWU

@mrdoornbos Oooh. Good spot. Will fix that! :)

[RetroBytes @BytesRetro]

There are been a long rivalry between Intel and AMD for who can be king of PC CPU hill.

@eevblog They certainly don't make them like they use to.
