LGR Vlogs: Two Weeks Surrounding VCFMW 2023
A companion piece to this video: czcams.com/video/Q64ILEMgE34/video.html
This is the complete Vintage Computer Festival Midwest experience! At least as it was for me in 2023. Driving from North Carolina to Illinois, enjoying everything in downtown Chicago, setting up the LGR exhibit, shenanigans at the show itself, then eventually traveling back home and putting this video together while sick. Fun times!

Testing a Vortex PC66 Keyboard on an IBM PCjr

When I received a new Vortex PCjr styled mechanical keyboard recently, I halfheartedly lamented the fact that the USB-only keyboard couldn't connect to a real IBM PCjr computer from 1983. But what if it could? Here's how!

Vortex sent me this PC 66 keyboard to take a look at, so let's get to it! I was highly intrigued to see a new wireless mechanical board based on the second IBM PCjr keyboard.

    It was so much more cool than the Windows machines back then. I don`t know why, but it gave you privacy or the feeling of having one. I still have my PISMO and waiting on parts to have it run again.

    Wait wait! How to put such an old card into machine today? Also what about SB 128? I probably read somewhere that its wave table effect was inferior?

    this was the era I most miss, upgradables for each chip, the cpu, media chips, and gpu, even my sound card could be upgraded with more ram for the sampler.

    midi is very strange thing from 80s. Many game developers cancelled this crapy sound and selected wav/mp3 songs or CD audio music. A3D is nice and easy technology of surround sound but nobody knows why there is still simple stereo nowdays. I remember cheap LPT sound cards (Covox) with awful midi.

    I remember the days when getting a new sound card for my PC was a real exciting thing. I think the problem is that most PCs have at least one sound chip onboard that is more than adequate for most people's needs now, so the market has pretty much vanished. At least if you don't want to spend an awful lot of money for studio quality hardware.. In fact, I realised I didn't really need a seperate sound card when I was watching the LGR video where Clint built his dream machine from 2004 (in about 2016 IIRC) and he used the sound card I had in my machine, a Soundblaster X-Fi variant.. So, when, a few years later, I needed to upgrade my PC, the new motherboard had no PCI slots, and I didn't bother to look for a PCIe sound card. If my current Motherboard had a PCI slot, and it was compatible with current versions of Windows, I'd likely still be using the X-Fi. I think the problem for me is that I don't play many retro games, and where I do, I'm generally happy with Emulation. I'm not bothered about original hardware, so won't be getting a soundcard for my early 90s PC (for instance) as I don't have an early 90s PC.. The only PCs I have are modern, and I generally use the sound on them for gaming or watching videos, which the onboard sound chip does fine.
