Re: Speaking of BBS's...
I would like to run a BBS on my IIe platinum. Is 192k RAM enough, or
do I need more? I don't have a hard disk, but can slap a buncha disk
drives on the thing. How would I go about setting up a BBS? I have
always wanted to do this. I suppose running it off of a IIgs would be
better. Any AII BBS in West Texas?
