    RCBBS down?

    So, is it just me or is the RCBBS gone down? Anyone want to fill me in on this? Is it finally getting the upgrade we've been talking about for such a long time? Also, interestingly enough, Luddite's Cave hasn't been accepting my CR from Ubuntu. Maybe it's time to try my old Lantronix and see...

    ProTerm

    OK, so ProTerm is now released and I'm trying to get it from my PC to my apple II. ADTPro isn't doing it, because it's a SrinkIt file, and I have no way of handling .shk's on my Linux machine. Other than NuLib2, which doesn't make me a disk image, it makes a bunch of ProDOS files with no...

    ProTerm

    Well, Proterm has finally been released to the world. See the link here: http://lostclassics.apple2.info/ The only problem that I have with their release it it's a ShrinkIt file, and not a shrinked disk image but simply a set of ProDOS files. I need it to be a disk image so I can boot it in my...

    Tandy conquest

    I know it's not Mac, but I found an absolutely killer lot of Tandy stuff, mislisted on ebay. A Tandy 200, with literally everything you could want. Previously owned by the USDA and a guy named Bill, both of whom never used it much, judging by the great shape it's in. So it came with the Tandy...

    RetroBBS is down- for good

    For those of you retro challenge folk who don't frequent the RetroBBS, it is going down this weekend and will not be coming back. At least it won't be coming back with Lorance as sysop. Lorance is no longer able to continue maintaining the BBS, and the torch is being passed. For the moment, if...

    Posting in the forum from an Apple IIgs

    And yes, I finally did it. Full brosing on my Apple IIgs. No, I'm not using Contiki, I am cheating a bit. I'm using Lynx (actually Links) inside of a Unix shell, which has been graciously hosted by the Super Deminsion Fortress. See you on thhe BBS.

    I can't remember the game

    I am trying to remember an old Apple II game I had a long time ago. It was an adventure game, and it took place in a giant city in a tree. People wore these capes they could glide around with. I can't remember what it was called. Anyone able to help?

    Neo Geo finished!

    For those watching the BBS, you already know I have finished my latest retro project, a home built Neo Geo MVS console. Check out some pics on my blog: http://neoretrotechnerd.blogspot.com/ Enjoy!

    Retro-Rocket 08 demo

    Alright, the main reason for this post is to have a place to host the files/code for my Retro-rocket '08 demo for the Tandy 102. If a sysop could give me permission to post the .BA file that would be great, in the mean time here is my ASCII code, which can be transmitted to the Tandy 102 and...

    BBS terminal types?

    I noticed that the BBS seems to support multiple terminal types. What types, other than vt100, are supported? Specifically, is there Tandy 100 or Tandy 102 support? If so I'd really like to use that instead of my clunky vt100 emulation, which only lets me look at 1/6 of the screen at one time...

    When's the new chalenge coming up?

    Hey all! I'm new here, but I have followed the last RetroChallenge with much interest. I was wondering when the next one is. I have a blog set up for the purpose of retro things, and I've begun to post things there because it's March and this month is the 25th Anniversary of my favorite retro...
