Subject: New system online

The Black Box BBS, formerly a Fidonet based system, is now on Usenet and is
available 24 hours a day, 365 days a week, with a full newsfeed.  The two
lines are 713-480-2686 (V32/V42/V42bis/HST) and 713-480-2685 (2400 MNP-5).

I am a long time CP/Mer, from waaay back in the 70s, and am planning on
including a section of my favorite CPM programs.  I will also continue
to support MSBBS, the Fidonet BBS I wrote in Turbo Modula-2.  

The old Kaypro bit the dust, and I have replaced it with a 486, SCO Open
Desktop, and am really enjoying it.  In fact, I would like to give my old
CP/M systems a good home.  If you want one, give me a call voice at 713-480-2684.

1 Televideo 816, 32 meg hard drive, up to 16 users, $250
1 Televideo 802, 2 floppies, 2 serial, 1 paralell, $100
1 Televideo RWP, *4* Z80's, each with 2 serial ports, perfect for a BBS! $200
2 broken Televideo 800s, no floppies (diskless), $25/each    

If you buy allof the above, $500.  Full docs and LOTS of software will be
included, along with LOTS of spare boards, chips, etc.  The system currently 
is set up for 5 terminals, the 802 and the RWP with 4.  Just add more and
turn them on in the config file for up to a 16 user CP/M system! 

I also have a SWP ATR8000, with 4 floppies (2 5 1/4" ds/dd, 2 8" ds/dd),
also with full docs, tons of disks, et al, $300.  If you want the COPOWER
88 ramdisk
(1 meg) which can also run CP/M 86 and MS/PCDOS (I have both for it), $200.
It is GREAT for exchanging from CP/M to DOS, as you can use the DOS2CPM, and
CPM2DOS and CPMDIR commands in DOS to move files around!  Full 973K TPA
in DOS!!due to the lack of screen memory!

Buy both the ATR and the Copower and I will throw in an Atari 800 and a 
monitor (b/w) so for $500, you get a full system.

Call at 713-480-2684 voice for more info.
