Another awesome piece of NABU history has been dropped by Leo Binkowski on his YouTube channel. Check out Leo’s video:
From Leo’s video description: “NABU Marketing wouldn’t let the Games Programmers put their names in the credits like other companies, so we found clever ways we could demonstrate that we were the authors of the games.”
Such a common thing with developers back in the day. Marketing could be such a drag. Leo showed them!
According to Leo this Pac-Man easter egg is revealed by eating a specific dot last on the strawberry board.
Leo Binkowski was 18 years old when he wrote this Pac-Man port for the NABU, and Laura Schening was just 17. Amazing!
In this video by Rudy’s Retro Intel he shows us the process of building a NABU network adapter RS-422 cable the proper way:
Thanks Rudy for this easy how-to informative NABU computer cable building tutorial. As we like to say around the open source NABU Network community, NABU Forever!
Taking a small break from NABU development to play some old school Pong on my Atari Sears Tele-Games branded retro console.
Playing Pong is where video gaming started for a lot of us old timers in the 1970s.
Did you know NABU did expand to two other countries outside of Canada back in the day? One being in Sowa, Japan; and the other being in Washington D.C. Well, sort of…
Alexandria, Virginia, a city right below Washington D.C. was the actual place. Tribune Cable, the company that ran cable for Alexandria, made a deal with NABU to offer the Network through their cable service.

As new NABU owners and enthusiast are receiving and enjoying all things NABU computers, some have found their NABU power supply fan is stuck or rubbing making horrible noises.
