Once again there will be a Classic Computers’ exhibit at Maker Faire Bay
Area 2017! Once again my fellow exhibitors and I will be displaying
classic personal computers for fairgoers to enjoy. To celebrate its 35th
anniversary, I'll be bringing in a Commodore 64 with JiffyDOS (or RAMLink
with JiffyDOS), 1541 or 1571 drive, and SD2IEC card drive. To celebrate
its 30th anniversary, I’ll have an Amiga 2000 with a Blizzard 2060 50 MHz
board, Amiga OS 3.1, 128 megs of Fast RAM, 2 megs of Chip RAM, SCSI CD-ROM
drive, SCSI controller board with 8 megs of RAM, NewTek Video Toaster,
Digital Processing Systems Personal TBC, A2065 Ethernet card, Digital
Processing Systems Personal Animation Recorder (PAR), 4 gig SCSI main hard
drive, and 500 meg SCSI hard drive for the PAR. Also because of attendee
demand, I’m bringing back the Texas Instruments TI-99 4/A with Peripheral
Expansion Box, various cards, and various cartridges, including the new SD
card cartridge.

The other Classic Computer exhibitors will be bringing in their machines,
like the Commodore PET 2001, Tandy, and Apple II (to celebrate the 40th
anniversary of these computers), Apple IIGS, Altair, and various Ataris.

These are the dates and times for Maker Faire 2017 -
