Cyber Legends...the preperation

[mrbombermillzy]

So I've set aside a bit of time today to try to sort through what I should be bringing to the event.

So far then, a pile of most of my downstairs stuff which will be coming:

The Mega ST and Checkmate A1500+ from here:

P1040471.JPG

And probably these:

Hopefully I have it covered, lead/cable wise. I'm bringing the usual stuff, including; multi way power leads, MIDI cables, an XLR Philips microphone, C=64 paddles, CGA leads(!), a C=light pen, a light gun, some Amiga modulators, 1084 RGB monitor leads, PSU and 4 player adapter and even a Quartus USB Blaster/programmer:

Below in the mid right of the picture is some stuff which I will bring for sale; the other bits are staying at home (unless someone gives me a good reason to bring them). Sale items include a 5.25" floppy case, lots of Amiga/ST mice, A600 PSU, lots of SCSI1/2 leads, a ZIP drive/discs and 50 piece Mega ST keyboard shell! lol

The following pictured items will not make it to the show, unless someone specifically asks. I am showing them here more for curiosity:

Lots of DSHD 3.5" NOS floppies:

Some mid 90s VR tech, including a UR Gear Union Reality head tracker (designed by the famous Ferrari designer, Pinninfarina, no less!lol) and a box full of I-O systems i-glasses 3D stereoscopic headsets/parts:

P1040464.JPG

Finally, some old PC bits, including a serial drawing pad and some IDE drive adaptors. But there is also a Gyromouse in there, which (IIRC) can be moved spatially (i.e. off the table/y axis!):

So that's it for today. There some more parts upstairs, but that's a job for another day. Stay tuned for more.

Could you bring some of the unopened floppies please.

Still managed to hold off going Gotek as nearly all (95%) my floppies from the late 80s/90s still work across my 6 machines, only reason i can imagine they have survived so well is that they were always stored in a proper floppy holder/box and always inside the house i.e. not in loft or garage with extreme temps/moisture.

always need more . . . . :mrgreen:

Will do. ;)

I guess I should also bring...I dont know...a couple of 3DFX Voodoo cards if I can find them, just in case anyone around here is interested. :D

My pile is growing too.

Plus, added a mystery computer you might not heard of.

This morning is my test it or fix it first day for equipment I'm taking to the Cyber Legends.

Up so far is my Apple //e which is actually behaving itself quite nicely. Its providing a bit of background music whilst I dig out the Atari 800 and others.

I've got my equipment pile ready in the living room now...

I will be adding a box of various Zip drives I rescued from work to give away (SCSI & parallel port, some with PSUs). I don't know if they work.

Would anyone like an Epson LX80 dot matrix printer?

I have been thinking about what I will be bringing along and think I have a final-ish list:

Sell/Swap:
Early 2000s Duron 800 based PC with period translucent plastic bit
Atari 520STFM
BBC Micro dual floppy drive
Metal 80s monitor stand
Philips CM8833-2 monitor
Original Mega Drive
Altec Lansing beige speakers
Big box of used DSDD floppies for free

Display:
Probably IBM PS/2 486

People seem to be bringing what I had considering bringing (MegaST, MegaSTe, Falcon030).

We don't want lots of the same thing I guess?

I'll wait until Thursday afternoon. Then test a selection of things I've not seen anyone else bringing.

Maybe some newer items? What is considered Retro these days? Gamecube/Xbox OG?

[mrbombermillzy]

@alexh I understand, the concept of 'old/retro' is a relative, movable goalpost.

I was trying to aim for (pre-2k) computing goods, rather than any gaming consoles.

However, I will not stand in the way of computing diversity! :D

If anyone else is wondering what to bring, an extra C64 or two wouldn't go amiss (as its the 40th birthday of the C=64 after all). Plus if anyone has a 'real' 1541, that would be most welcome (especially if I can borrow it, otherwise I may have to bring the C-128D and link up to use the 1571; that's if I can find my IEC cable! lol).

I have been fixing the Phoenix world over the weekend to bring to the event.

It has made me realise we may need to have a soldering iron or two at the event. :)
