exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

Great event... Lots of STs on show plus QL, Laptops, Spectrum Next, of course the H5 remake boards, I've missed loads...

Really nice atmosphere (1st time for me)... Everyone super friendly, some really interesting chats to be had... Meet some forum notables, a YouTuber we all know.

Saw some new hardware like addons for the H5, got a presentation from Icky on the Blue (Blitter/Glue) FPGA replacements and the MMU FPGA and got a "guide for an idiot" as to why we should all want an H5

Tea/coffee/biscuits available. Pizza was clubbed in for at lunchtime

All in a great time and well worth a measly £5 entrance... and MAYBE you could be a raffle winner... (please god let me win one!) :lol:

Was only 20 mins up the M1 for me so well worth a trip.

Thank you @mrbombermillzy for organizing it (and for your lady helping amongst others)

Great to see some old a new faces there :dualthumbup:

I purchased a raffle ticket as well. Might be somehow counter intuitive though :lol: :roll:

I'll second that, my first time there and a very enjoyable meet (Traffic problems notwithstanding!!!)

Who won the raffle prizes then? Apparently draw was yesterday (I'd left before end) but nothing here saying who won?

The irony if Exxos won his own board!!! :lol:

The raffle hasn't yet been drawn. It may take a few days to compile the list and load them into a random generator.

Yeah I don't want a H5 :lol:

Should that be 'another' H5? ;)

Here's my report as promised, published in atariscne.org just now.

Hopefully there's not too many missing things and mistakes, apart from the self-inflicted ones by myself.

Nice! One small correction is it was @Icky who took the H5 stuff not me.
