Rehi friends of CP/M and 8-bit technology!


It's about time for you to check your rolodexes and calendars as 
another big event is casting it's shadow ahead (no - not WIN2K):
 
 Z-Fest 2000!

on 8th to 9th July 2000 in Gueglingen near Heilbronn.
Yes, indeed!  CP/M is dead and thus easily survived till now.

Once again an overview of what's happening:

Where is it happening?

As usual, the meeting takes place at the Schafhaus (Schafhausplatz 1)
in Gueglingen close to Brackenheim in the Heilbronn/Neckar region. 
The Vogelmann family will be our host like always.

When does it start?

We'll start on Saturday morning (8th of July) as of 10 AM slowly arriving 
until about 2:00 PM (1400hrs), then it'll really take off.

What can you expect?

CP/M Hardware from those old glory days and late (!) devices and even 
computers, like the Tilmann Reh CPU280 that some have bought or even built 
themselves from the kit sold by Tilmann. There'll be the usual bandwidth 
of CP/M standard software and, of course, tons of gold from the Public 
Domain mines.

Historical documents (anything in printed or written form) to mark some 
episodes like special issues of computer magazines. 

8-bit-exceeding hardware of any kind plus most uptodate network technology 
is implemented in the house due to Roderich Vogelmann's and Uwe Herzceg's 
consulting company residing there.  Such equipment may also graciously be 
brought along. ;-)


==> Like every year, we will visit one of the local beer or wine fests 
with quite cozy and very personal ambients.  You'll enjoy home-made cakes 
as well as rural Barbequeue.


The penny tourist may take advantage of the mass sleeping place arranged 
for in one of the rooms, although resources are limited and require a 
sleeping bag of your own.

We have also arranged for an on-line booking facility for hotel rooms that 
will translate email to fax.  Furthermore, a car pool look-up service 
allows one to either offer or search a ride.

You'll find both links at http://www.zfest.de

The visitor is normally swamped by the brute force of good vibrations at 
the ZFEST, a large percentage being due to the excellent and charming 
hostess, Mrs. Vogelmann sen. who never fails to provide coffee and food in 
time.  This is the only thing that requires some financial obulus, most of 
it being on a good will basis, but nevertheless costful for the Vogelmanns.

Who?

Anybody, anyone, anything (almost) :-)


How do I get there by car?

Take the route off the Autobahn A6 Nuernberg-Heilbronn
Course #1:

"Kreuz Weinsberg" (east of Heilbronn)
Autobahn A81 heading for Stuttgart
"Abfahrt Ilsfeld" is the turn-off, 
==>Lauffen  ==>Brackenheim ==>Gueglingen

Course #2:

"Untereisesheim"
cross the road "Bundesstrasse 293" (you'll pass under)
head for ==>Klingenberg
==> Nordheim ==> Brackenheim ==>Gueglingen

Arrived in Gueglingen, you'll reach a traffic light in the center of the 
town. A road is draping off quite steeply to the left, then at the first 
possibility, turn right and right again.  Brake!!  You have arrived!

Telephone at the given location is +49.7135.15081  or, locally, 07135/15081
