Saturday and Sunday in parallel with the exhibition
Marc describes his experiences on how to keep C64 and Amigas running, using newly developed hardware, finding spare parts and restoring machines.
He will demonstrate a C64 with a SD-card adaptor, the Commodore 64 SD2IEC Backpack. Marc will also report on his current project of connecting a current USB-mouse to an Amiga, by using an Arduino DUE.
Furthermore he will reflect on the problems facing computer restorers : fading EPROMS, leaky batteries and capacitors.
Time permitting we will discuss usage of FPGA.
