Hrm... i'm ever again tickled with the thought, that i would love to more or less rebuild a very old BBS i was cosysop of..

It was a #CNet #Amiga (#Pro) based bbs, on a #Amiga #4000 sporting a nice #Phase5 CyberStorm #MKi #060/50 turbocard and some other bits of fanciness to finally support 6 POTS dialins + 1 ISDN and at times we even hat a PPP uplink to the internet even with a #JoinLink conference yo you could chat across the internet on both BBS as if it was one bigger BBS....

Heck i miss those times and i miss how close we as users from local dialins were connected .. and had regular parties .. where we ever again had to find a new location for the next "usertreff" because the last host/club owner ..... let's say .. had some complaints.. ;)

I've tried to contact the actual licence owner of #CNet #Amiga #Pro to buy a fresh license..

I still have some amiga hardware here .. but well .... i can't afford to run them .. just because of the electricity cost..

But uhm .. i still have a raspi, which can emulate a _WAY_ bigger amiga as ever existed in hardware... Let's talk about MC68080 CPU in virtual Ghz Speeds. Virtually unlimited ram (realistically 1gb is way to much for a amiga) ... And instead of slow SCSI hard discs and CDROMS (which still are here) ... heck we have gigabytes of space on _WAY_ faster storage, even if it's emulated...

So .. yeah i probably need to search down a lot of stuff and components to get all that back together to at least a reminiscent version of the good old days....... I just still wait for some ppl giving me a license for the mailbox software........

*sniff*
