Hi Tom,
TW> I started BBSing in 1987 using Compaq DOS 3.3, It allowed use of a
TW> 30 meg HD as one drive where as MS-DOS only alowed 20 meg drives
I'm also a relic from the past but I started BBS'ing later than you.
My first BBS ran on an Epson 386AX with the 'ExecHost' software as the
'SunnyIsland BBS' in 1988.
That oftware was a bit limited but after having tested the PCBoard BBS
beta software in 1992 I switched to it and started up HAM-BOX BBS.
When PCBoard upgraded 1995 to v15 it came with full support for Fidonet,
and in nov. 1995 I joined Fido.
When PCB was upgraded to v15.2 it also included full OS/2 support and I
changed the operating system from PCDOS/DesqView to OS/2. What a relief!
In 1992 I did also install a BBS running PCBoard on a Compaq but I
didn't like that the Compaq relied only on add-ons specifically for that
computer/operating system, so I preferred the M$ and IBM PCDOS solution,
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year my friend.
Have a good night,
Holger, OH0NC
