My exhibit at VCF 2025
This was 2nd year in a row I was attending as exhibitor at famous Vintage Computer Festival taking place in Mountain View in California at the famous Computer History Museum. The event took place on Audust 1-2nd.
This time, I was presenting handful of very rare Z80-based computers from Poland designed behind "Iron Curtain" during Cold War in the 80's.
With one of the designs brought back from the ashes in a form of upgraded "Cobra" computer in amazing custom designed 3D printed case. Which design I successfully resurrected in just 8 month timeframe.
There were 3,500 visitors this year attending the show per organizer statistics. It was a real BLAST!

VCF West 2024
Here is a short video from 8051Labs exhibit during last year Vintage Computer Festival West. VCFWest in 2024 took place at CHM in Mountain View, CA on Aug 2-3rd.
The subject of my exhibit was "1989 Computer aided PCB Homebrewing". I presented my tools from late 80's which I used in fabricating my early printed circuit boards while being senior at high school and college student next. All designed from scratch starting from idea, schematic, PCB layout, fabrication and assembly at garage. It is a part of my Bio story which you can access under below button.
