RETROCHALLENGE 2007

You may have noticed it already - it is

RETROCHALLENGE 2007
It's Not About The Winning!

It would be great if some APPLE ][ or /// projects enter the
Challenge.

What is the RetroChallenge?
Its a look at old hardware by using it, it's a discovery of the kit
you loved when you were younger, it's a play for the sake of it, its
stopping computers ending up in landfill sites when they are still
useful, its a bit of fun for those geeks out there that want to play
with old computers.

If you have to ask why, then I would think that this would not be for
you!

Homepage for this years RetroChallenge at

A nice idea - please promote the RetroChallenge if you like it .
Starting first of July - running the whole month.
Please take part !

yours,
Oliver

I'm in with a few projects (noisy ones as usual):

- Programming an LP's worth of music on a single 5.25" floppy
(it will probably be a bit minimalistic)
- Granular synthesis for the Apple IIe
- A real-time, joystick controlled variation on the above.

I also have a lot of ideas on the back burner...

Of course how much gets done depends very much on how much time I have to
play around ;-)

I think about an APPLE II project too
to complete a range between 1960s to 1980s.

I'd be surprised if anyone comes up with anything more retro than the Piko
Dat... looks like fun!

Yes I am sure it will be fun to play around with this great gadget of
digital history.
It was produced in the DDR aka GDR in 1969. And look at this design!

I bought an AlliedSystems GS RAM Card yesterday - the start of my
Apple //gs part ;-)
Your Apple projects sounds cool too - let us hear!

Have fun!
