This is very cool. Would love to know what he used the high speed rs232 port for.. meaning curious if this was a BBS Atari XEGS or if he was using it for dialing out, was a developer of some atari modem utility, or what? thanks for sharing!

Pretty machines. I would even enjoy having the case to admire. Even cooler, a 2gs in a /// case (yes, I know - the GS case is drool worthy - but the /// is too!)

Too bad I didn’t pick up the 1400 I found in richardson tx in the early 90s. Who knows if it was just a leaked case with junk inside, or perhaps an 800/1200 shoehorned into it - I had no idea then what I know now..

Greetings, I was the owner of an Indus GT in the mid 90’s when I went through my first period of “Oh my God I have a decent paying job and now I can have all that bad ass atari stuff I wanted in the late 90’s…”.. Anyway the Indus I had had the serial # label for the Indus just like all of them do - but also had the CPM chip, and a separate label for that.. To this day, I cannot recall seeing an ebay or craigslist auction that had both labels - which leads me to believe that (perhaps) the cpm chip was an add on thing mostly, or/and coming stock with the drive was a very rare thing. I doubt there are any numbers to back this up as its kind of an eccentric statistic - but I was curious what others within the collective thought?

This is one of the coolest SOFTWARE things Atari wise I have seen in a long time. Thank you for your tireless work on this. I still need to get Fujinet and get my XEGS modified - but this makes it easier for me and everyone else to run a bbs!

holy crap thank you for the effort you put into this!!!

Here you go: https://demozoo.org/productions/64878/ STratagem appears to be mentioned on that site quite a bit.. not sure if that is historically or something recent. Digging.

I have the original link saved.. I believe I also found some mention of it on pouet.

I think it was on pouet…

Anyone ever heard of this bbs software????? I have not - and I'm a bbs software freak... If you have it - please upload it...

I was dicking around on youtube this morning and stumbled across an Atari BBS demo... A google search reveals nothing about "jambala bbs software tt030".... Anyone else heard of it? Will also ask in that forum... more...

I hung around and had an account on the bbs, but I was not a dues paying member and think I only did anything face to face 4-5 times…

I scored an Amdex 2x 3” drive setup for the TRS way back when.. Finally decided I was not going to go down the route of TRS hardware and I let it go.. Almost with I had of kept it. That drive system plus the analog color monitor running on an Atari8 was always such a sysop dream for me…

Not a circle I often go very deep into (I’m more into phreaking than I am piracy) but while looking around for some blue box, wardialer, etc software for the ST I came across the following page with a vast collection of disk menu apps and what not. Hopefully it will do some one some good or at least bring back good memories… https://atari-owner.com/club/articles/classic-menus-utility-disks.61/

The stuff back in the day was just so freaking amazing. I pine about “adult” created atascii not having that same “cool” factor but then I have to remind myself that we arent 13 years old sitting in our dark bedroom for as long as we wanted working on dope atascii graphics bbs screens for trading current pirated warez games where there are 30-50 other warez boards across the USA who you are trying to look better than and vice versa…. One of the reasons that I wish so bad that more of the graphics screens from back in the day could have survived.. sad. Nice work all of you!!

This is actually an extension of 8bitunderground and wardialers.org (it will all be named similarly soon enough) but I thought it would be nice to have a facebook group representing the apple cat where owners can be tracked, software archived, etc… Join up and spread the lore… https://www.facebook.com/groups/1486375385054720/?ref=share

I like the form factor and there are some mods that would get it going enough that I could run bbs software on it for a project I am doing… Anyone happen to have one they would part with? IM me please..

Just thought I would pop by and see if any of the collective have done anything atari/bbs wise this summer thus far?

Would like to buy Atari Connection magazines, APX catalogs and APX Special Editions catalogs.. PM me please.

Whoops.. I suppose I might have had a sip that evening.. Either that or I was paying attention to something else while I typed..

I am also a commodork as well as an AtariDork.. I bought a C128 a few years ago, the strikemodem wifi modem, the SD drive, etc.. Then I had searched for an Icontroller here and fortunately there was a user who “had one in his shed” I believe it was.. After some back and forth a deal was struck and I became the owner of a BARELY used icontroller.. It works FABULOUS with the c128, but I have not tested it with the Atari. If you wanna PM me and ask me to test with my XEGS I will be happy to do so.. just tell me what software…. Mark

Thanks for the explanation.. Cool.. Would love to find some of that “answering machine” software even just to check it out in an emu (as far as what it looked like, the options it had, etc… I know I wouldnt be able to “use” it in the emulator..) .. I’ve found gobs of apple cat software (wardialers, etc) but dont think I’ve ever found anything similar to answering machine functionality.

Greetings.. I would like to buy a combo 3.5/5.25” disk drive (single unit with both drives) for my archiving machine.. The ones on ebay are ridiculously priced so I thought I would reach out here and see if anyone has one they would part with for a more reasonable amount of money… Thanks!

I believe the OP said he was trying to bring back his original bbs which he has on disks or archived somehow.. it was running on carina 1, therefore he wants to find the docs for that version.. or am I mistaken?
