It was a great event, thanks to Sellam and his help. I live in the Chicago
area, but happened to be in the San Jose area for VCF 5.0. The talks that
I went to were quite interesting and in talking to Bruce Damer, the founder
of
http://www.digibarn.com , I was able to hook up with Howard Palmer,
the originator of mazewar on the Imlac. Druce has a nice story about the
history of mazewar on his site. Since I have a running Imlac (which I took
to VCF East 1.0, I was very interested in finding out if the source for mazewar
was still around, and I now have a copy. Hopefully, I will be able to make the
necessary additions to my Imlac assembler to allow me to assemble the
code and run it on my Imlac. If Bob Shannon were to build a long vector
board for his Imlac, then we might be able to play mazewar against each
other. When I finally finish my work on my Imlac emulator, others will
hopefully
be able to play it as well.
So, for me, VCF 5.0 was wonderful! I got to meet a number of interesting
people, etc.
Sorry, but I didn't take any pics of significance at the show. I'm sure that
some will show up on the
http://www.vintage.org site in the not too distant
future.
