On another note does anybody know how to get whitelisted for fTelnet on telnetbbsguide.com I've send my details via the contact form already 3 times I think but no luck yet. As Tillek indicated, you have to ask the fTelnet author to get whitelisted. I have no idea how long it takes. I was surprised to discover that The Basement BBS was whitelisted. I don't remember requesting it. If I did request it, it was probably a while back. There is another BBS website that supports fTelnet called "I ping therefore I am", https://www.ipingthereforeiam.com/bbs/ The maintainer of this website whitelists everyone that gets listed on their website. -JP Edited May 20 by JohnPolka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lastic Posted May 22 Author Share Posted May 22 A quick question regarding my blogsite www.thecell.ar ? What are the opinions of those who have visited it ? Too much rambling ? Not enough techo-babble ? Too short/too long ? Planning on creating some more content hence the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got a platform there, that as you mentioned, you can fill up with your favored content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastic Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 Aha I was wondering why I was missing the emails that notify me whenever a reply is done on a topic of mine or one which I follow. Looks like the Notification settings had been reset ? so email notifications were no longer selected. That's now re-enabled so I won't be missing out on the action 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's now re-enabled so I won't be missing out on the action 😁 I've actually noticed that they never quite worked right in the clubs. The only notification I actually get are when someone joins most of the time. Here and there I'll get a random notification about a post or reply, but hardly ever. That's why I started PMing the meeting reminders instead of just posting them here and letting the notifications take care of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastic Posted September 25 Author Share Posted September 25 @Bikerbob in a message on the BBS you asked about my BlueSCSI setup, it is connected indeed to the internal ACSI-SCSI adapter of the MegaSTe. And it has been working fine for me ,well the only thing it does is running the BBS so that seems to work. I bought mine from a local Belgium person here who apparantly is also doing development for BlueSCSI. Jean-Michel Durand bluescsi@onegeekarmy.eu Apparantly I already had the debug setting ON in my .ini file so here is the 45MB logfile, not that I ever bothered to look at it since I don´t have any real issues on my end. log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastic Posted September 25 Author Share Posted September 25 @Bikerbob to continue on the topic of BlueSCSI. I have 7 x 512MB TOS partitions (C,D,E,F,G,H,I) on a 5GB HDA file so that seems to be more than the internal limit of 1GB you were referring to.

Some of the "emulators" have been able to break the 1gb barrier due to how they work internally. But if you have a real SCSI drive, or even things like the SCSI2SD and such, you can run into the 1gb barrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoore Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 I've never worried about big partitions, think I just set them to as high as is compatible with TOS 4.04 in HDDriver. For the couple of MiNT partitions I went higher, and everything works fine. I've actually got a ZuluSCSI coming next week to fit in to an old sampler - I think they share a similar heritage.

Or 1 ID divided into partitions on hddriver? I'll see in the log file. Thanks. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon The real problem with a 1gb partition is that after half a gig, the block size jumps from 8k to 32k. This can lead you to copying a 512mb partition to the 1g partition and actually running out of space before you finish because the minimum file size that is actually taken up by a file is 32k, even if the file is only 1byte long! Now when you're using something like BigDos or EmuTos, with the 2gb partition, it's not so much of a problem because both the block size and the max capacity are a factor of 4, so worst case scenario (like a drive filled up with files all smaller than 8k) you'd just have a drive with the same files, but no more free space. If you're going to have mostly large files, like a zip or photo archive, it's fine... but if you're going to have mostly many smaller files, you might want to consider splitting into 512mb partitions instead. Or not... whatever works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastic Posted Thursday at 08:25 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 08:25 AM Vitus , a German Youtuber has made a video about my BBS. I was informed by ABBUC that he might be interested in interviewing me at the ABBUC JHV. Only need to find a way to get there. There are English translated captions since it is German spoken.
