+DarkLord Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I know some 8-bitters hit our board occasionally so I thought I'd post an update: We're going to be down for a week or so while I have an upgrade done to the Mega ST running the board gang. (I learned my lesson - soldering and I don't mix! <grin> Thanks everyone, and sorry for any inconvenience. I'll post messages once we are back up. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried doing that (acting) but they only beep and page me more often and louder! (the nerve of some people!)... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DarkLord Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 The DarkForce! BBS is now available by telnetting to: bbs.darkforce.org as well as the actual IP address, 24.177.23.74. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Wow was that a flashback! Telnetted via my main PC. I can't remember the last time I was on a BBS - I am guessing 1995. Amazingly I can still remember the exact specs of the system I had at the time. It was an AMD 486DX4-100 with 16MB of RAM, 525MB Seagate hard drive, Boca Voyager 1MB VESA VGA card, a SoundBlaster16 ISA sound card, and an internal 14.4 modem. That was my 1st system since I stopped using my 130XE, so I had quite a huge leap in technology. I need to get online with my 8-bit again, and I am dying to start using my 1040 ST I just got, since I never got to experience the 16-bit days.

Stephen Anderson 964426[/snapback] <grin> Yep, it certainly is a "retro" experience for many people. I hope you enjoyed it and will visit again. Thanks for calling! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I was up until 4am last night. I did register on your board, using my 130XE + SIO2PC. I had never used ICE-T before - man I wish I had this stuff back in the late 80s. Stephen Anderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
