 +//Saturday and Sunday ​ in parallel with the exhibition//​
 +====  Sat 13:00  Building bridges over 30 years of technological development ====
 +
 +Marc describes his experiences on how to keep C64 and Amigas running, using newly developed hardware, finding spare parts and restoring machines.
 +
 +He will demonstrate a C64 with a SD-card adaptor, the Commodore 64 SD2IEC Backpack.
 +Marc will also report on his current project of connecting a current USB-mouse to an Amiga, by using an Arduino DUE.
 +
 +Furthermore he will reflect on the problems facing computer restorers : fading EPROMS, leaky batteries and capacitors.
 +
 +Time permitting we will discuss usage of FPGA.
