BBS Info

The Amiga-Z BBS was originally running the following configuration….

<> Amiga 500 w/ 1M Chip Ram 6M Fast Ram
<> DataFlyer 500 SCSI Card w/ 80M HD (Sys), 340M (Ext. HD), CD-ROM
<> Bodega Bay Expansion Case
<> Zoom Telephonics 14.4Kbps v.42(bis) External Modem
<> A1010 3.5″ Floppy Drive
<> Amiga OS 3.1
<> CNet BBS v3.05 from Presepctive Software
<> Weekly 6 pack of Honey Brown Ale

In it’s time, Amiga-Z offered it’s users, almost 400Megs of recipies, online
games, message bases, Amiga Report E-zine, Aminet downloads and much more. It
was then taken offline due to a burnout in the Bodega Bay’s zorro card slots
and a short on the SCSI card which stopped it from seeing the add-on memory card.

The current configuration is….

<> PC w/ Intel 266 PII w/ 96M RAM 4.2G HD
<> Windows 98SE running WinUAE
<> CNet Professional BBS v5.07 from ZenMetal Software (Defunct)

The current setup used in WinUAE is closer to what Amiga-Z was meant to be if
it had stayed alive. An A4000 loaded to the “max”. Sadly, that never came to
be. But now with the resurgance of BBSs, and also the new life the Amiga is
seeing, Amiga-Z BBS has finally come back, to the great pleasure of it’s owner
and hopefully it new and old userbase.
