Our Mission: To preserve computing history through education, outreach, conservation, and restoration. We strive to accomplish this through family friendly hands-on activities at our museum, at regional and global events, and by fostering and nurturing the expansion of our on-line and in-person communities. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We formed in autumn 2015 from the DNA of related groups starting in 2005. Our activities include online discussion, events, local user groups, and a The Vintage Computer Federation Museum. We can also assist with film/TV props, media interviews, research projects, data/drive recovery services, patent/prior art projects, and more. The Vintage Computer Museum is located at InfoAge Science Center (formerly Camp Evans) at 2201 Marconi Road, Wall, NJ.

Video Description
The MEGA65 is a modern recreation of the Commodore 65, the unreleased successor to the Commodore 64 and 128. With only a few dozen functioning C65 prototypes in the wild today, the MEGA65 is the only practical way for most of us to know the 8-bit marvel that could have been. In this talk, MEGA65 contributor Dan Sanderson introduces the project and its connections with Commodore history, discusses the role FPGA-based platforms can play in recreational computing, and argues that the best way to remember computing history is to put it in people’s hands. Dan Sanderson is a software engineer and writer in Seattle, WA, USA. He has been on the MEGA65 core team since 2022, and is currently the maintainer of the MEGA65 KERNAL ROM and documentation. Dan is also the author of Dan’s MEGA65 Digest, a monthly newsletter available by email, RSS, and audio podcast. #vcfwest
