The hardware | of the site grew over time, eventually running on a 386, | with 2 20 megabyte MFM drives hooked to an RLL style card | for a whopping 60 megabytes. Thanks to the magic of | DesqView and QEMM, I was able to host 3 lines | simultaniously, as well as a local terminal, which | allowed me to chat with callers, and edit the site. | Because using an MFM drive on an RLL controller was so | unstable, it caused the system to go out of service | frequently, until I got a Pioneer 6 disk CD changer, | which lowered the need for drive space, and I converted | back to an MFM controller. Does anyone besides me | remember G=c800:5? The 6 disk changer was a huge addition | to the system, as I was able to find shareware CD's | cheaply. With 6 disks online, it was such a huge | shareware collection that searching could last for hours. | Looking for greater functionality for the site lead me to | joining FIDONET, which was a huge challenge, and loads of | fun. I remember working for hours to build the batch | files that would load the FOSSIL (Fido-Opus-Seadog- | Serial-Interface-Link) drivers, send/receive/parse the | mail, and ultimatly load the BBS. But collecting mail | over the telephone line was a costly and time consuming | affair. The next step was purchasing a satellite receiver | that transmitted the FIDONET national mail, as well as | daily updates of shareware. The satellite receiver ran on | a second PC, and twice daily the BBS computer would drop | out of the local terminal session, gather and parse the | mail from the satellite receiving PC. All in all it was | alot of work, and much of the hardware was secondhand, | found in a dumpster and wrapped into the system...or | traded up for other parts. (Hats of to Jake Brim at Brim | Computers for having mercy and taking my parts for trade! | - He's still in business today.)
"The advent of the | internet eventually took my interests away from running a | BBS, and I closed it. I feel very proud and lucky to have | lived at a time between the beginning of home computing, | and the internet as a global experience. The thousands of | BBS operators made many contributions to the home | computing experience, and raised awareness of the | technology. The Internet has replaced the local BBS, | which might seem sad, except that the people who ran | BBS's have gone on to bigger and better things, and now | almost anyone can build something like a BBS of their own | as a web page. As for bigger and better, my brother and | his wife, who ran the White Castle BBS, started out on a | 286, knowing practically NOTHING about PC's, and have | both gone on to receive degrees in IT, and help | administer a network at a fortune 500 company...pretty | good stuff! Other friends in the BBS world have similar | stories, and as for me, I work in temperature control, | and have a side role of IT.
