Subject: Wanted: Info on BBS
I have a Kaypro 4/84 with 2 floppies that I would like to use for a local BBS.
I have the following questions:
1. What is the biggest/fastest hard drive this machine can hold?
2. Where can I get the boards needed to put one in? (How much $?)
3. What BBS software would you recommend, why, and where can I get it?
- I am looking for the following in a BBS:
* Easy to use file system
* Internet mailing abilities (not a must)
Thanks in advance. I will post a summary if there is interest. I think this
is a great use for these machines. I would like a discussion on the processor
speed vs 2400 bps. Does this pose any problems? I would guess for 9600, one
would definitly need a better/faster processor for performace. Am I entirely
wrong? ( I also have a SWP 256K Ramdisk to help speed things up a bit.)
