The more the merrier.

Might be interested in a 1040STE... And the Hard Drive.... Possibly more depending on what it is specifically and the condition.

Yeah, my Fidonet NC is on Magic Jack Plus as well. Feel free to drop me a line if you have questions or issues. I run an ST BBS (also still on FidoNet) and have been playing with a lot of A8 BBS software recently. Gotta help keep the scene alive!

It's been up, just at the other address.... Which I realized I never really publicised....

Just wanted to drop a note that STar Fleet HQ BBS is back at it's old telnet address of bbs.sfhqbbs.org (port 5983). I've got some plans to do a major overhaul of some things now that I have a lot more free time (I've finally completed some things I've been working on for a year that has taken up most of my non-working time). I'm also looking to see if there is interest in a Space Empire Elite tournament (with actual prizes) sometime early next year so if you have any thoughts on that, please let me know. Thanks! (the bbs.oldergamers.online address I've been using for it probably won't be available much longer since that was for another project).

After you print 100 posters, cease and desist.

For an ST BBS? No....

Well, I called in today and checked his caller log, so unless it was an actual failed log in attempt, it's not 100%... but there were only about 6 and that's way better than one literally every 2-3 minutes. Good job DL!

I think it was a joke about your choice of port..... 520...ST?

Why would you want your Monday refunded? Glad you got it working again!

I've had 2 power supplies go bad in my time. The first just resulted in a color screen, solid with no sound. This was quite some time ago as it was my childhood 256k Rambo 800xl with an ingot. The drams were fried. I finally fixed it two years ago. Same computer, two months ago, non ingot. Got the same thing you're describing. Was heartbroken as I thought it was the computer so tried another and got the same. Switched out the power supply and both computers were fine. So I'd just say try another power supply before even thinking about worrying about anything else.

It was just a suggestion... and we've all been there.... no worries. (I changed mine over a year ago so........)

Great... now it won't take me 5-8 attempts to log in! Maybe to make it easier for everyone, the SysOps could just agree to say, change on the 11th (right before the weekend?) Or maybe a few days later if that's not enough...... Get a big blitz out so everyone can change their lists at the same time?

If any SysOps are still on the fence about this, you should consider it. I did it a long time ago and it made all the difference. That said, this is a huge thing sweeping the entire BBS community. If you follow it anywhere else (Facebook groups, forums, FidoNet) BBS's are making a mass migration off port 23. If you're considering it, this is probably a good time because most BBS list maintainers are expecting and processing these changes, and so is the community. Doing it now while it is on everyone's mind and expected will make it easier. You'll just be "one more change" while everyone is already making changes. Safe BBSing!

I just wish it had been double sided... I find myself using my XF551's on my main while my Indus's don't get much use.

Yeah, I have my dad's original 800xl (the first computer our family ever owned) plus mine..... and I bought it lots of friends. I still have my original ST's too (along with all their friends). I never got around to playing with my STacy much.... planning some upgrades at some point but at this point I think my project wish list is going to take three lifetimes to complete.

^ |______ This guy knows how to paaarrrrrrr-ttttaaaaayyyyyyy! (As I sit here finishing up making some A8 images for someone I don't even know......... Gotta "extensively" test the games to make sure they work).

Sorry... I'm in NE Ohio.

I guess as always the real question is where are you located? If you're nearby someone with Falcon expertise, that could lead to a solution.

Damn. I just sent him a message too. I hope he's still around.

MP3s Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (III and IV!)

I mean, assuming you want to put the same upgrade in your 520 STE, pull the name badge off the 1040 top case and 520ste top case and switch them. that way you don't have to re-cut the case and the one you're selling won't have a "defect".

A nice "minty" one with a big hole cut in the side? Consider replacing the name badges and swapping the top covers?

Yeah.... go ahead and PM me what you need. Finally got the 1200xl set up on the new desk arrangement so I can handle that for you.

Where? I could use some of those. Harder to find on Ebay.....
