   Saturday   
      
   1:00 pm – Developing 8-bit Commodore programs using a modern IDE – Byron   
   Stout   
      
   While you can still program directly on the original hardware, it sure is nice   
   to have the conveniences of a software development environment running on a   
   modern PC. Let’s use CBM PRG Studio to write BASIC and ML programs for our   
   favorite 8-bit    
   Commodore machines.   
      
   5:00 pm – In Search Of … The original wooden PET – Leonard Tramiel   
      
   The twisted story of the long and, ultimately, fruitful search for the   
   original Wooden Pet.   
      
   Sunday   
      
   2:00 pm 128Neo (Virtual – live) – Johan Grip   
      
   Johan Grip will talk about the Commodore 128 and the story of how repairing   
   the first computer he owned went a bit astray. Topics covered by the talk   
   includes PCB reverse engineering, silicon reverse engineering, tools and   
   techniques and other things    
   learned during the process.   
      
   3:30 pm – Adventures in Emulation – Mike McGann   
      
   Do you enjoy using emulators to tinker around with computers of the past? Have   
   you ever wondered what it would take to develop an emulator yourself? In this   
   talk, Mike McGann will detail his adventures taken, from start to finish, in   
   building a    
   rudimentary Commodore 64 (6502) and Pac-Man (Z80) emulator. Topics will   
   include memory layout, CPU instructions, text-based graphics, basic sound, and   
   plenty of implementation bloopers. A demonstration and Q&A session will follow   
   the talk. No quarters    
   required.
