Vintage Computer Festival Southwest 2023

The Old Net was at VCF Southwest 2023, in Dallas Texas! For this event we wrote a telnet chat app in Node JS and used that to connect an HP 200LX, a TRS-80 M100, and a Dell Latitude together so that attendees could chat with each other.
These vintage systems were all connected using our Serial to WIFI adapters. The M100 has a special version of the adapter designed just for it. It features a low profile design, and is powered from the M100's barcode reader port. This is the first truly portable WIFI solution for the M100 series.

Do you know what computer that giant RAM goes to?

[@TheOldNet]

I'm not sure the guy had one system set up with the ram integrated but I didn't catch the name.

@@TheOldNet Gotcha. Great footage of this event!

I don't think this computer fad is going to take off. It's too nerdy and people will never understand it or want to pay thousands of dollars on equipment. 🤣
