w.r.t to the demo : you didn't miss much.

The monitor Flyback transformer went 2 days before the show.

A replacement monitor I borrowed from a fellow collector would have saved the show,
if i did not misplug the keyboard and V24/floppy cables.

Lilith has two identical DB25 connectors next to each other :

Keyboard / Mouse / Display and V24 / Floppy

If you misplug, the +5V of the keyboard electronics is plugged into the raw +12V of the floppy.
Guess what happened....

The monitor is Lilith-specific, the keyboard is Lilith-specific and Lilith does not boot without a keyboard.

The number of known functional Liliths now stands at zero.

Work to do....

DynDns stopped its excellent free DNS service.

I moved everything to this new URL :

ftp://ftp.dreesen.ch/Emulith

Let me know if you run into troubles.
