nuxi@PastaThief I've gone to #VCFMW for a few years. On the whole it tends to be very welcoming, with the caveat that many, if not most of us in the community are in the same asocial boat. Starting a conversation can be difficult, but what brings us all is a passion for this stuff (which can sometimes be a bit overwhelming). There are a few who need to demonstrate geek cred at any opportunity, but most people are happy to find *anyone* else to chat about their hobby with.

Ryan takes a trip to see Rich in TX! We get into a lot of adventures and a celebration.
StylusYesterday I had the chance to play with the "1802 membership card" my friend bought back at #VCFMW
You can put a small program in ROM (the "monitor") that does serial I/O, which we did; but we didn't find documentation on how to use the monitor's serial routines in our own programs.
We pieced it together from some internet sources, plus trial and error. I put up the details here: https://codeberg.org/jepler/hello_1802_membership
It's not much; it just prints a message then echoes characters back. but it's a starting point for writing actual software.
The 2nd best source for info that I found was https://github.com/dmalenic/RCA1802-playground/

John Goerzen@tschak I'm your target (my platforms are TRS-80 CoCo II and DOS) and I've seen #FujiNet at many #VCFMW shows, which I travel to attend. Maybe it would help to know why I haven't adopted it?
First, I didn't know it supposed DOS and CoCo. Actually, I still don't. Neither are listed at https://fujinet.online/purchase/ . The CoCo link at https://fujinet.online/wiki/?p=Toplevel-Hardware is broken. I found https://fujinet.online/tandy-color-computer/ but it requires me to build a bunch of stuff myself, which I don't have time for right now. 1/
