@JezC still deciding what sound module to bring, SC88Pro or MU500.
Maybe the MU500? I've never actually seen or heard one in person and I think the 8820 is a later model than the 88Pro?
Plus, that seems to fit with the heavy Yamaha presence
The MU-500 is a bit like the 8820 in that you need to use a computer to set up etc but it's great at standard midi stuff. I think I'll likely bring it though once I test it on the Raven.
I was about to send a few monitors to silicon heaven but if anyone wants a pair of HP 4:3 or a small wide-screen HannsG let me know and I can bring them along.
So to confirm what I'm planning on bringing along:
Altairduino - Altair 8800 mini replica.
PiDP 8/1 - PDP 8/1 mini replica.
µKenbak-1 - Half size replica of the Kenbak-1.
ZX80 - Need I say more, a modern day replica based on the original issue 2 PCB.
SoC MK14 - Another modern day replica, but incorporating fixes that have been rolled in to improve it.
PICL - Small machine running NIBL.
Z80 SBC2 - Small Z80 based SBC that runs a wide variety of software inclding CP/M.
So there will be quite a few BlinkenLights on the go
Collector of many retro things!
800XL and 65XE both with Ultimate1MB,VBXL/XE & PokeyMax, SIDE3, SDrive Max, 2x 1010 cassette, 2x 1050 one with Happy mod, 3x 2600 Jr, 7800 and Lynx II
Approx 20 STs, including a 520 STM, 520 STFMs, 3x Mega ST, MSTE & 2x 32 Mhz boosted STEs
Plus the rest, totalling around 50 machines including a QL, 3x BBC Model B, Electron, Spectrums, ZX81 etc...
