NABU in DC: A Conversation with Arthur Esch

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.

NABU Archaeology with Leo Binkowski Part 10

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!

Presentation: The Ghost of NABU Past with Leo Binkowski

This is a recorded version of “The Ghost of NABU Past” presentation created by NABU Software Engineering legend Leo Binkowski for the Vintage Computer Festival East that was held on April 14th, 2023 in Wall, NJ.

As an added bonus it’s a “director’s cut”, since Leo added some segments that he had removed to make sure to stay comfortably with the time he was allotted for his VCF East presentation.

A huge thank you to Leo Binkowski for redoing his VCF East talk and for the NABU Network site shout-out around the 37 minute mark.

Signal Monitor Board for Diagnostics and Repairs

In this video we check out Rudy’s NABU PC Signal Monitoring Board. This board is used for monitoring and diagnostics of the NABU Z80 based computer.

With Rudy’s board you can easily check voltages (+5, +12 and -12DC), clock signal, view and measure CPU related signals with ease.

This is an easy kit to build, plus Rudy provides the files for free so that you can make your own. The Gerber files are available for download at:
