 +==== Sa 13:00 Going out with a ROAR – Royal Precisions RPC-4000 =====
 +
 +
 +The RPC-4000 was launched in 1960 as the successor and big brother of the LGP-30. The manufacturer stuck with the proven formula for success, developing another compact, low cost “personal computer” based on magnetic drum memory. Too little, too late, as it turned out: While various clever design tweaks got more performance out of the magnetic drum architecture,​ the competitors launched new computers based on ferrite core memory at the same time. This new breed of machines left the RPC-4000 in the dust, technically and commercially. The talk will present the RPC-4000 as one of the last magnetic drum “dinosaurs”,​ and will briefly describe my project to resurrect this machine via an FPGA-based replica – and to locate its lost software. ​

 +==== Sa 14:00 SID is alive ! =====
 +
 +Andrej demonstrates the modern usage of the Commodore SID Chips. ( C64 sound interface device)
 +A guitar controls the SID Chip i.e. the very dynamic Chiptune Sound. Recognisable but nevertheless a fresh Sound. ​
 +You don´t even have to know how the play the guitar, just grab the snares and something musical will come out !
 +Overall we just want to show that the SID stills produces an impressive sound and are still being used in new developments.

 +==== Sa 15:00 / So 15:00 Gigatron Selbstbau TTL computer =====
 +
 +Marcel demonstrates his TTL -bases 8-bit Computer,​which he developed himselves. Despite being build from low level TTL chips hist computers sports a video-output and a BASIC-interpreter. This computer is available as a kit, details are on https://​gigatron.io

 +
 +==== Sa 16:00 / So 16:00 Silizium Planar Technologie =====
 + 
 +„Behind the integrated circuits stands a Swiss citizen“. I will talk about the development of the silicon planartechnology,​ how this is still the basis used today, and how it might develop in the future. ​

 +// Robert Weiss //
 +
 +==== So 12:00 Unibone =====
 +
 +"​UniBone"​ - a Linux-to-UNIBUS bridge, based on the BeagleBone Black.
 +
 +It is supposed to be a development platform for device emulation.
 +At the moment it can emulate memory, emulate an RL11 controller with 4 RL drives attached, and act as UNIBUS hardware test adapter.
 +
 +There are some web pages at http://​retrocmp.com/​projects/​unibone

 +// Jürg Hoppe //
 +
 +==== So 13:00 Super-Nintendo =====
 +
 +Sven delves deep into the innards of the Super-Nintendo console.
 +
 +// Sven Huerlimann //
 +
 +==== So 14:00 PDP11-Hack =====
 +
 +Peter Schranz discusses the development of the PDP11-Hack : a recently developed PDP11 based on DEC`s J11-chip.
