A New Soul for an Old Machine: Building Modern Solutions for Retro Computers | VCFMW 19 (2024)

As certain parts on older computers fail and rare working examples command higher and higher prices, and as people want to integrate their retro machines into modern life, many new projects have popped up to meet those needs. This panel features members of the community that have created new hardware, firmware, and software solutions to breathe new life into old machines, not just restoring functionality but enhancing quality of life in ways unthought of when those systems were new.

Panelists were:
‪@helfire23‬
‪@ianpolpo‬
‪@jeffpiepmeier9411‬
‪@JoesComputerMuseum‬
Tony Kuker
...and were moderated by ‪@RonsCompVids‬
