Mad Hatter

Don’t blame ya for keeping it off, 8CM515 is what I have too. The power button is shot, and requires that I wedge a piece of folded paper into the small gap in order to keep it on. The screen occasionally flickers, and the speaker crackles. Guess that’s to be expected for a 30+ year old monitor.

Glad the downtime was short. Just called in and paged for a chat, but I forgot the SysOp is the cool guy who’s never around. LOL

If you end up going to a non-TI for ANSI work, there is PabloDraw which is multi platform, Linux and Windows. I use AcidDraw, it is similar to the program Tim mentioned (The Draw) but on steroids. You’ll need to use a DOS computer, or DOSBox to run either The Draw or AcidDraw.

Just gave a call, looks good. Didn’t notice any bugs, everything ran smooth.

@Swim is the SysOp there, he can probably help with your password.

Ahh yes, the joys of being a SysOp. lol

Hmm, maybe a pure Assembly Heatwave running from the Geneve command line??

Wow you're right! I kind of forgot about that. Glad you picked up the reigns and took over after I decided to take it down.

Nice review of Heatwave, and InsaneMultitasker is mentioned as well. https://tinyurl.com/ybk28c6c

Not sure what version my WHT is either. It's Harold Mayo's old card. Also didn't see an option for MFM... HFDC!

I would think that if you can connect okay, then you should be able to download as well. Which protocol are you selecting when you attempt to download?

There is a version of this available as a door game for Heatwave. Unfortunately it isn't being used as I recall it was quite buggy and would crash the BBS.

Damn that really sucks. I know the feeling!

Additionally, don't forget about the original Terminal Emulator cartridge (TE2 was its successor) which was released for the /4 computer. It supported higher baud rates than TE2, and had more configurable options. Unfortunately it was also quite buggy. The original TE cart is extremely rare.

I think the title of this thread should be changed to "Heatwave BBS OPEN", heh.
