Reminder:
Installing CP/M on your S-100 computer workshop
signup begins Feb.1st
For the vintage computer enthusiasts, in conjunction with
the MARCH Computer Museum and the Delaware Hackerspace
group, we like to invite you to a new workshop this year
involving vintage computers.
This new workshop is about CP/M and it will
teach you how to install, build and configure CP/M on your
vintage S-100 computer system. All the necessary steps are
shown during the lecture and afterward is a hands-on
training session which will let you upgrade your S-100
computer with a floppy disk based system and CP/M.
Instruction and lecture will be provided by Rich Cini of
the Altair32 emulator project.
Please look at the link below about the workshop checklist
for a detailed list of requirements about this workshop.
You'll need to know what to prepare beforehand to get ready
for this workshop. Ask any questions you have about getting
ready before the start of the workshop. A knowledge of
assembly programming, S-100 hardware, and CP/M operation is
required for this workshop. Please do not come unprepared.
We currently have seats for 12 workbenches for those who
want the hands-on training. An additional 10 seats are
available for those who like to watch and learn. If we
happen to get more requests for this workshop, we will try
to accommodate as many people as possible. This is a first
come, first serve event, sorry, but we cannot accommodate
latecomers. Once the registration opens, please specify
which seat you like to reserve.
The workshop is located very close to I-95 for those that
are drivng. More information can be found at the
Delaware Hackerspace website below.
