Vintage Computing Festival Berlin (VCFB) 2023

I'll be there with a talk on (no, not NeXT) Apple Lisa and (if all works well) an exhibition of a working Lisa 2, emulators and a Lisa clone.

Anyone else going?

A Lisa clone!? I didn't know one existed!

Most of the board except for the RAM board have been recreated:

• CPU, diag Kit, power supply (https://github.com/warmech/lisa-hardware/tree/main)
• I/O board, motherboard, parallel port (https://github.com/alexthecat123/Lisa-PCBs)

The Gerber files for the boards are available in the respective github repos, JLCPCB produced high quality PCBs (the CPU board has 4 layers, the others 2) for a very reasonable price. However, some of the old ICs are difficult to obtain.

A small number of people are building the system right now, progress is posted on Mastodon (https://sueden.social/tags/AppleLisaClone).

There will be a Lisa clone at the Cambridge UK event that I shared here (https://www.nextcomputers.org/forums/index.php?topic=5188) as well!

Sounds very nice, I think I would visit if I manage.
