Arthur Esch was the person responsible for bringing the NABU Network to the DC Area. Here is the interview where he tells all about how NABU came to be, how he was able to get it to a cable company in Alexandria, Virginia, and other things.
The interview was done over Skype in January 15, 2023. Video editing work was initiated by Scott Brown (RIP), but was completed by his daughter, Skye Brown.
Thanks to NABU in DC for doing this interview and sharing it with the world.
Hot off the press is “NABU Archaeology Part 10 with Leo Binkowski” where Leo discusses his port of Pac-Man for the NABU computer that he created back in the early 1980s:
As an added bonus Leo released his NABU PC Pac-Man source code via his official Github account which is awesome!
Thank you to Leo for helping all of us present day NABU PC developers with the ongoing modern development for the NABU computer, making this video and releasing the NABU computer Pac-Man game source code. Waka-Waka!
Heads up for anyone who is using the NabuNetwork.com Internet Adapter software v2.0, we just updated (May 15, 2023) all the builds (Windows, Linux, Mac) with the ISHKUR updates for proper 80 column mode. The documentation has also been updated.
Last but not least, all the software (CP/M, MSX Games, Infocom Games and PTXPlay music) is on disk A now and disk B is for user “stuff”, so moving forward the only “network/virtual” disk that will be updated is disk A. Disk B is now blank in the May 15, 2023 downloads.
Please be sure to check out the updated user manual for all the specifics. What are you waiting for? Download the updated NABU Network Internet Adapter software today!
As of this post NabuNetwork.com has NABU computers registered in 14 countries around the world. Just think BITD NABU computers were mainly in Canada, a small footprint in the DC area (USA) and rumored to have less than 50 units in Japan.
Now 40 +/- years later there are NABU PCs in the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Cayman Islands, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands, France, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and now the Czech Republic.
If you have a NABU PC and haven’t registered it yet, we’d love to get you added so we can see where all these NABU computers are ending up around the world.
