retro-computing

hi, let me know if you want to collaborate on any retro-computing articles. BTW, take a look at the image for Spacewar.--mikeu 15:45, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

There's a good start at Colossal Cave Adventure. I just discovered a stub at Honeywell 316 (Kitchen Computer) that needs a lot of expansion. We can have Dave takes some pictures at the next open house to illustrate some of the articles.--mikeu 13:41, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Meetup/Providence

I've started advertising the Nov. 8 and Dec. 13 open houses at RCS as wikimedia meetups. --mikeu ^talk 13:54, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

The Providence meetup is today. The plan is to try to meet between about 4-6pm and we'll be ordering pizza around 5pm. Note, that I will be there during the entire 1-8pm, and anyone is welcome to stop by, but I thought a more specific time might make it easier for people to plan attending. See the talk page for more info and discussion. --mikeu ^talk 13:02, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

RCS images

Dave and I have been uploading new images of the RCS collection. I've moved some of the images on wikipedia to commons:. There is now a commons:Category:Retro-Computing Society of Rhode Island. Also take a look at commons:Category:Gesellschaft für historische Rechenanlagen (München). --mikeu ^talk 14:30, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Are you still active?

If so do you have any photos of the Sun2 VME boards? As I recall there are 3: CPU board with 4 Mb memory 4 Mb memory expansion SCSI controller

The SCSI controller was smaller double wide, double high VME board that attached to the 4Mb expansion board like in the Sun3 line.

If you have photos could you add them to Wikicommons and the Sun2 article?
