19Echo Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Well after a 3 year departure from this place, i'm back. Had to swallow some more dust when i got activated again for Iraq. (Thought Desert Storm was enough) Anyways, glad to see this forum is still kicking. I'm officially thru with the Army and got the ole 800xl fired up again and trying to learn the ins and outs of it again. Current setup: 800xl 850 interface SIO2PC connected to a compaq Armada M300 2 Indus drives 1 percom MyIDE Flash with a small laptop hard drive couple of Hayes modems. May try to set up a simple small bbs so that i can connect from one of my other Atari computers so i can play around with it. Have 3 phone lines to spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
