Alyx Wijers one table late 00s "dying gasp" sun workstation and late model sun solaris server
Proposal: Network IV Andrew Seawright 1) Talk on the Data General Nova 1210 powered "Network IV light sound environment" that was at the SEA-TAC airport in the 70's through 90's -- and the "reboot" of Network IV in a SIMH Teensy emulation running the original code from the 1973 paper tape. Overview of Network IV design and software. Reboot covers paper tap saga, SIMH and IO handling, sound and display modeling using Teensy 4.0, and future ideas. 2) Demo/Exhibit of the Network IV rebooted. Show tell. Original Network IV software listing and design documentation. Play with the reboot.

John Ball World of GRiD - A look at GRiD's later portable offerings from the 80's and early 90's as they transitioned from expensive electroluminescent displays and restrictive bubble memory and became a PC compatible platform with the executive class and sleek designs still in mind. (one table, one chair and one power strip please. c: )
Clay Erickson / SDF.ORG / SRCS (https://sea-rcs.org) Bringing my toolkit and spare cables for anyone who finds themselves short on either one. I'm happy to once again help out with setup, including the presentation area. One table with power (less than 500 watts... probably). I plan to bring a Commodore CBM 2001-B Professional, along with one other system, depending on what I can have running on time. Some ideas: - California Computer Systems 2200 - Atari 600XL - Commodore 128 - KAYPRO 4
Interim Computer Museum (https://icm.museum) / SDF.ORG This quarter we'll have a small table featuring remote access to our online vintage systems as well as a presentation on our musem and mainframe gallery space in Tukwila.
Name: Josh Dersch Description: LMI Lambda Lisp Machine. Requirements: One table, ~10A of 110V power.
Dylan Rush I can exhibit: * Toshiba Satellite Pro 405CS (~1996) * Toshiba Libretto 110CT (~1999 I think) * iMac G3 * Osborne 1 * Gateway G450 (late 1990s P2) * USB/PS2 converters (USB4VC and one custom made) PocketPCs: * Jornada 720/540 * HTC Advantage X7500 * Dell Axim * iPAQ 4355 Would just need one chair and a table I suppose. I don't think I'd be able to exhibit both days, just one of the two. If there is little interest in those pieces then I can volunteer for something like setup or cleanup.

Lady Errant (Danielle) Back again with my souped up Atari 800xl (vbxe, rapidus, side3, fujinet), Sun Ultra 2 and now my PowerBook 2300c with wifi! I will have all 3 machines on the network. I can squeeze down to half a table if needed but a whole one is preferred this time due to having 3 machines out. I'll need 4 outlets, total consumption under 500 watts.
Hayden Neumeyer I will be bringing a HP 54825a oscilloscope,a Tektronix TLA 715 logic analyzer, a SGI Octane, a 8088 laptop, and some other laptops depending on space. Power requirements are 750w ish and a full table. If I find my folding table I will bring it.
Henry Baba-Weiss I can help with setup/teardown, loading/unloading/carrying things, and whatever else is needed.
==Kai RetroHoosk | BSky:hoosk@retrohoosk.tv | Mastodon: Retrohoosk@furry.engineer == I will be bringing my Intel Itanium Software Development Vehicle (SDV) and HP Integrity rx2600, which represent the first and second generation of Itanium processors. The SDV will be loaded up with a variety of operating systems including a ia64 build of Whistler, AIX Project Monterey and Windows XP 64-bit Edition (the Rare 2002 64bit RTM build). The rx2600 will have HP-UX, and fortune permitting will be running Integrity Virtual Machines, which was HP's virtualization offering for ia64. One table for two 17" 4:3 LCD monitors, the rx2600 is a 2U rackmount server and will have the monitor on top, the SDV is a tower, so will have the monitor on the side. Power needs shouldn't be more than 600W, 4 standard outlets needed.
Hands on and Q&A with various common technologies for retrocomputing on the modern world, i.e: SD-IDE, FlashFloppy, Greaseweazle, XTIDE Solutions, mTCP, KVMs, Various IO converters, BlueSCSI I'd like enough of a table to set up two standard LCD/Mouse/keyboard/Chair stations, top of my head (but I'll measure later) 500W, and a good spot to stack up /- half a dozen computers visibly. But I can readily size up and down on space and to some extent power.
J.P. I plan to have a Sun workstation to manage network infrastructure services also running on Sun servers...think DHCP, DNS, NTP, etc. Oh and I'll have a couple POE powered clocks too - maybe even distributed around. I'll be bringing network for anyone needing networking. Wireless will be up again. Contact me if you need a VLAN between access switches distributed around the exhibit space or static IP address space reserved for your exhibit. I can also provide limited POE. Exhibitors, please contact noc@vintagelink.com for any network needs.. I'll need a full table for my servers and workstation, and 400-600w.
Project IVY - Katarina Melki Once again I'll be back to exhibit my favorite portables, showcasing the evolution of the laptop. Favorites like the IBM ThinkPad 701C and IBM Palm Top PC 110 will make their return. Additionally I have some new machines to exhibit, including a rare Tadpole Sparcbook 3XP running Solaris 7 Unix.
Michael Brutman I'll be presenting "MS-DOS Programming in C", demonstrating Turbo C 3.0 for DOS on a 486 class system and Open Watcom 1.9 on a more modern system. These are my two "go to" compiler choices for DOS projects. Turbo C is a classic, all-in-one IDE environment from the mid 1990s while Open Watcom 1.9 is a more sophisticated environment running on Windows 10. I'll need a full table, two chairs, and power for two reasonably sized PCs. (I'll bring my own power strip.)
Mike Debreceni / Seattle Retro Computing Society Misusing classic game consoles for fun and no profit. I plan to demonstrate use of a couple of classic game consoles for non-gaming. * Playstation 2 running Linux * Atari 2600 rendering the Mandelbrot Set * Possibly other misused game consoles I'd like 1 table, and will need enough power to support 2-3 game consoles / monitors and misc gear. I would also love an ethernet connection, but can rig up a wireless -> ethernet bridge as a backup.
Shaun/Cursed Silicon https://social.restless.systems/@CursedSilicon I'd like to exhibit my latest project, Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net (CGHMN). A collaborative "retro internet revival project" that I've been working on with folks for almost a year now. Currently the service has a few games running and about a dozen websites and apps. A non-exhaustive list is available on my Wiki https://wiki.cursedsilicon.net/wiki/Services_people_are_running I'll need a table and a half and a network cable with internet access for the network. Computers at the event will be - My "Ultimate Windows 98 PC" that has been previously been demoed at prior events - PowerMac G5 Quad running Leopard - Celeron 533Mhz running Gentoo Linux circa September 2003 - Pentium Pro 200Mhz running Windows 3.11 (or OS/2 Warp depending)
Patrick Goncalves I would like to talk about my project, RealDOOM. RealDOOM is a port of DOOM to 16 bit real mode, which makes it run on 16 bit x86 machines down to a 5150. During my talk I'd like to give a high level overview of the process of porting RealDOOM from 32 to 16 bit and speak about some of technical challenges and lessons that came with it, and also touch on other projects that spawned from it. A table and a chair would be nice so I could set up a 286 with a playable version of RealDOOM and perhaps an IBM 5150 playing a timedemo. 500W would be plenty for two machines and a pair of monitors and possibly a synthesizer and speakers.
Troy Staley (Seattle Retro Computing Society) I'd like to exhibit old classic laptops from various vendors NEC, Zenith, Packard bell, IBM, etc ...
FurryTel! We will bring out phones, glass and mechanical teletypes, a fax machine and an iMac G3, as well as a classic mechanical telephone switch. A handful of connections museum volunteers will be showing up to help make it happen. Last time, we were able to take over the side room. I would like to do that again. We will be able to provide our own tables and chairs for the most part.
