Saturday
1:00 pm – Developing 8-bit Commodore programs using a modern IDE – Byron Stout
While you can still program directly on the original hardware, it sure is nice to have the conveniences of a software development environment running on a modern PC. Let’s use CBM PRG Studio to write BASIC and ML programs for our favorite 8-bit Commodore machines.
5:00 pm – In Search Of … The original wooden PET – Leonard Tramiel
The twisted story of the long and, ultimately, fruitful search for the original Wooden Pet.
Sunday
2:00 pm 128Neo (Virtual – live) – Johan Grip
Johan Grip will talk about the Commodore 128 and the story of how repairing the first computer he owned went a bit astray. Topics covered by the talk includes PCB reverse engineering, silicon reverse engineering, tools and techniques and other things learned during the process.
3:30 pm – Adventures in Emulation – Mike McGann
Do you enjoy using emulators to tinker around with computers of the past? Have you ever wondered what it would take to develop an emulator yourself? In this talk, Mike McGann will detail his adventures taken, from start to finish, in building a rudimentary Commodore 64 (6502) and Pac-Man (Z80) emulator. Topics will include memory layout, CPU instructions, text-based graphics, basic sound, and plenty of implementation bloopers. A demonstration and Q&A session will follow the talk. No quarters required.
