Pittsburgh Classic Mac Lab β Scott Baret
"The Pittsburgh Classic Mac Lab is an operational lab that transports all who visit back to 1992. Used in a multitude of settings, the Mac Lab helps children explore and learn using proven programs while letting adults take a trip back in time. From playing Oregon Trail over a network to drawing in Kid Pix to munching factors in Number Munchers, thereβs a little something for everyone in the lab."

Ham Radio and PCs β Jeffrey Golas
"When amateur radio operators got bored of calling cq using their voice, they opted to find new ways of using their radio stations to communicate with others. Explore hardware and software used by amateur radio operators to include their computers into their amateur radio stations."
That ASR-32 teletype is the rare baudot version of the venerable ASR-33. Also, I think that's the first time I've seen SSTV decided at a VCF before.
Computing for Small Businesses β Dave Shevett
"The 80s saw the first generation of kids raised on home computers bringing their skills and energy and talents into small businesses. Teaching Dad how to use a word processor or the old accountant how to use a spreadsheet became the sea-change of the silicon revolution. This exhibit will explore some of the early examples of using home computers for work, such as accounting, word processing, and small business operations. We will also look at some of the machines that the larger corporations like AT&T and DEC brought out to try and fill this new market for small, affordable, easy to use computers."
Roadkill from the rise of the PC β David Gesswein, Janet Walz
This was a mix of Ohio Scientific equipment and a TI Professional PC, both machines that were left in the dust by computer market forces.The TI Professional PC was not 100% IBM compatible, so it didn't pan out, even if it did have a powerful graphics output.
Meanwhile, David's Challenger II featured a unique OSI-560Z processor lab, a board that allowed the user to have a Z80, or 6100 processor, which was a PDP-8 on a chip. This machine could be seen running FOCAL, and playing a PDP-8 specific game while the 6502 was busy running other software -- at the same time on the same computer.
It's funny how you sometimes end up with the exact same model of obscure old CRT at a VCF as your friend.

Pre-1990 MIDI Laptops β Ethan OToole, Ben Dressler
"Come see and hear working examples of pre-1990 portable computers that were equipped with MIDI. These restored portables include the Yamaha C1 286 portable, The Atari STacy, and the Mac Portable. These machines are teamed up with a selection of synthesizers and drum machines."
Weird Japanese Laptops - @ms-dos5 & RadRacer203
"A selection of ultraportable or otherwise weird Japanese laptops from the 90s onward."
There are some cool and wacky little machines, along with some of the most cursed and funny wallpapers. I spot a newer Toshiba Libretto... also Yuri from Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2
HP 2113E minicomputer and 87XM micro β Mike Loewen
"The HP 2113E minicomputer from 1976 was part of the second series of 21MX machines, and used semiconductor RAM instead of core memory. The system on display has a 2748B high speed paper tape reader (500cps) which is used to load software into RAM. Paper tape BASIC will be loaded, after which BASIC programs can be loaded from the interpreter. A 2645A terminal is used for communication. Also on display is an 87XM personal computer from 1983 with dual diskette drives. The 87MX has built in BASIC with graphics capability."
I spent some time programming in BASIC on the HP2113E (which is a model in the HP 1000 line), but before I could Mike had to load BASIC into RAM first. He had a cleaver method of rewinding the tape using a power drill.
