Floppy Days 96 - Epson HX-20 Bonus, Norbert Kehrer Interview

from Floppy Days Vintage Computing Podcast

Interview with Norbert Kehrer, Flashx20 Hello, and happy 2020 to all the listeners out there.  As the final episode of 2019 I'm bringing to you a bonus show on the Epson HX-20.  I was able to get an interview with a gentleman who has developed a terrific piece of software that qualifies as a modern upgrade for the HX-20, called flashx20.  That gentleman is Mr. Norbert Kehrer and he was kind enough to talk with me about his software and how it's used. I think you'll find it interesting, especially if you have a machine and can give his software a whirl. Next month I will begin a series of episodes on one of the groundbreaking machines in the UK, the BBC Micro.  I haven't decided yet how many episodes there will be, but I was able to get an interview with an early computer pioneer involved with the development of the BBC Micro, so I intend to be as thorough as possible in the coverage of the machine.  Stay tuned for more on that. For this episode, I will talk a bit about my new vintage computer acquisitions and what I've been up to, as well as the usual news about upcoming vintage computer shows and a bit of feedback.
