    Added additional information.

    Yep. If I had already committed to upgrading this far, I'd

    go ahead and spring for one of Lotharek's internal adapters:

    Or one of Alan H.'s internal adapters, if you can find one. I've

    got Alan's in my STacy and Lotharek's in my Mega STe. 

     

    No more 1 gig limit.  :)

    The main problem of the most accelerator boards is a dirty implementation of the cache hit/miss logic. For example, some early PAK versions won´t also run with TOS 2.0x, because their initial logic didn´t recognize the TOS 2.0x memory area ($E0000-$E3FFFF).

     

    I have only "HyperCache ST" from proVME (16 MHz with 16 KByte cache) boards for the ST series. They work in 2 different Mega ST and works fine with my and other TOS 2.0x solution. IMHO these proVME ones were the only one really 100% working accelerators (can speak for the german market only).

     

    Some other accelerators like the HBS240 and other have nasty, hard to catch problems. In some conditions they work flawless, in other environments (specially MIDI equipment with their dongles) spurious problems occours.

     

    Can understand, the power of a BBS with 8 MHz standard isn´t a pleasure. That´s why I wrote a lot of parts in my BBS software ("Madness Mailbox-System") in pure assembler :-D

     

     

    So my take from this reply is I'd have to buy it and try it to see?

     

    Thanks.

    Quick question regarding the TOS switcher for the Mega ST...

     

    As this has come up countless times - will it work with an accelerator board such

    as the AdSpeed or T-boards?

     

    In the past, there's always been a conflict which will not let them work together.

     

    It's why I don't have TOS v2.06 on the Mega ST that I use to run DarkForce.

     

    Oh, before anyone mentions it, I won't give up the accelerator for this computer,

    it makes the BBS so much "snappier" that I wouldn't give it up.

     

    Thanks (and thanks for supporting the Atari community)!  :)

    Okay, "Bombs Away" week is officially over at the DarkForce! BBS.

     

    I hope everyone had fun with it. At best, it's a light hearted attempt at

    humor for our callers. At worst, it can drive you crazy.

     

    I'd like to thank everyone who (willingly or UN-willingly) participated.

     

    Until next year, "ka-boom". 

     

    PS Oh, here's a screenshot showing the obituary and what happened to

    those who failed to defuse their bombs. :)

    Forgot to announce this yesterday but yes, we're going to do a 

     

    "Bombs away"

     

    week here at DarkForce, commencing today and lasting until this next Saturday, June 6th (D-Day, what a coincidence!).

    Just pick "D" for Deliver E-mail Bomb from the main menu. The menu is pretty self explanatory, but basically you pick users from the DarkForce BBS you want to "bomb" and up to your bomb limit, you do so. They are given an opportunity to guess who sent the bomb. If they are wrong, they are then terminated (disconnect). If they guess right, they are shown who sent the bomb so they can retaliate. Users have a limited amount of bombs and only so many bombs can be stacked on any 1 caller.

     

    Good luck, have fun and

     

                                        B O O M !


    PS Oh, don't forget to check the Obituary for funny user "deaths". :)

    So per user requests, I've added another alias for telnetting

    into the DarkForce! BBS.

     

    There are now 2 routes:

     

    darkforce-bbs.dyndns.org (the original)

     

    and

     

    darkforcebbs.dyndns.org

     

    The second is for comms software that balks at anything

    non standard (such as the dash) that is entered.

     

    Please test and let me know if it's not working....

     

    Thanks!
