DESCRIPTION:   'Title: The wild and wonderful world of early Microprocessor
 s (with a\n   focus on the 6502)\n   When: Saturday\, Aug 10\, 12:00 - 12:

 Description:\n\n   This presentation will be a combination of history less
 on\, technical\n   introduction\, and some demonstration. The target audie
 nce are those\n   who may never had a chance to experience early microcomp
 uters but want\n   to get an introduction to the world of “retro computi
 ng.\n\n   Today everyone's laptop or smartphone either run an Intel\, AMD\
 , or ARM\n   processor. And most probably can't tell you exactly what they
  have or\n   know any details of them. It’s all a black box to most. But
  back in\n   the 70s and 80s\, computer hobbyists & hackers knew they had 
 a Z80\,\n   6502\, 6809\, 68000 or other processor\, and often knew the de
 tails and\n   could and did program them in assembly. But while the indust
 ry has\n   moved past the Apple II\, Atari 400/800/XL/XE\, Commodore 64 et
  al\,\n   there are still many who continue to use and enjoy these compute
 rs.\n   Even to build and create new and exciting items for them as well a
 s\n   brand new systems using this old tech.\n\n   In this presentation\, 
 we will delve into microprocessor history of the\n   8-bit and early 16-bi
 t systems\, with a particular focus on the MOS\n   6502\, one of the most 
 popular microprocessors. We will touch a little\n   on the systems that us
 ed the 6502\, and take a quick look into how to\n   program the 6502\, eve
 n showing a couple of 6502-based systems.\n   Importantly for many\, we wi
 ll delve into some of the resources\n   available for those wishing to ent
 er this world also.\n\n   SpeakerBio:  Michael Brown\, Security and Compli
 ance Director at FRG\n   Systems\n\n   Michael Brown is an information sec
 urity professional and leader with\n   years of experience in IT and infor
 mation security/cybersecurity.\n   While a security consultant advisor\, h
 e worked with clients in the\n   healthcare\, financial\, manufacturing\, 
 and other sectors to assess\n   their security programs and work with them
  to improve and mature their\n   security posture. He is now Security and 
 Compliance Director for FRG\n   Systems\, ensuring their HITRUST and SOC c
 ompliance. He is experienced\n   with a variety of security regulations\, 
 frameworks\, and standards. A\n   seasoned speaker and presenter\, he has 
 presented at SFISSA\, BSides\n   Tampa\, St Pete\, and Orlando\, HackMiami
 Con\, and ISSA International. He\n   is an ISSA Fellow and Secretary and p
 ast president of the South\n   Florida Chapter of ISSA and is a member of 
 ISACA\, ISC2\, Infragard\, and\n   IAPP.\n\n   My first video game system 
 was the Atari 2600\, my first computer was\n   an Atari 800XL\, and second
  was an Atari 1040STfm. Which I still have.\n\n   '\n\n   1. #LVCCW_Level1
