Re: Ohio-Indiana-Kentucky USA Vic-20 stuff

I'm looking at paring down my Vic-20 hardware a bit, but I'm not looking to sell. Is there anyone within commute distance of Cincinnati who would like some hardware?

Re: ** Revision 2024 Invitation / Website

Well done, Michael--despite the technical difficulties giving you a very late start! :D

Re: MegaVIC

DOH! I glazed right over Emulator and Cross Development! :oops:

Re: Building a quality PSU
