I would be interested to see the Checkmate monitor, if its not too much hassle?

To answer your other question, a few people have posted here on what they are looking to bring to the event.

Well, I was going to bring it along, although I dont really have anything to show (other than the built in demos and the MK demo).

I will also be bringing my more unusual MIDI SW - Breaktrhu 2, which is a sequencer (fairly comparable to Cubase) with a built in 4 channel sample playback engine at 8 or (16 bit resolution if you have a Replay16 attached ;) ).

Im sure someone will perhaps want to have a fiddle around with it.

Other than that, I'll most likely be running around with the event logistics and sorting out deals with people. :D

@alexh I think Ive asked a few times already... are you still after any of those Abacus ST books?

Only if its not a problem please. :D

yes would love to see a Raven and a ATW8000/2 in the flesh.

SideCart too if someone has one.

Yep, I'd also like to see a Raven in the flesh too, they sound like wonderful systems to read about on here.

@CiH and I will be bringing a Falcon (one of mine) over to the event, though there may be other hardware around to show from either of our collections.

Its very likely I'll bring these fellas with me as well as the OSI and some other interesting stuff like the MK14:


The Altair is currently running an infocom adventure on it, but not that you'd know from the front panel :)


Console is the way to see it properly and it has to be booted from the switches :)

Lovely! :)

Probably going to be the earliest exhibits there.

Depends on whether you include the liveware as exhibits!
:D

:lol:

I think that I'll just bring my "stunt" Sinclair QL and Raspberry Pi 400 to show off my diag ROM and the Pico based keyboard matrix emulator board, which should be able to emulate any keyboard matrix up to 8x12.

Well, the Kenbak-1 is effectively the oldest thing I'll be taking (If you aren't fussy about it being a replica), and I'll be older than it by quite a margin...
