doctor_x Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 In the spirit of trying to broaden the number of titles and things to find as far as BBS software goes - I was on a facebook group this evening and someone mentioned a bbs software for atari called “Technical Difficulties XE” and a board called Tardis that ran it... I did a cursory search and I didnt find any mention of it here so thought I would toss the info out to see if anyone else may already have it or if its already been discussed!

+bf2k+ Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I have a ZIP here called ATARDISBBS.ZIP. Don't know if that is what you are looking for but I can send it to you if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 nah that's @Synthpopalooza 's work in progress last I knew... but I think we may have an issue with two files of the same name but not the same BBS going on at this point.

Synthpopalooza Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Yep. I got an updated floppy of ATARDIS here but no means of ATRing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilmoo Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) Technical Difficulties (or "TD") was written by a pair of guys in the Miami area. It worked with MPP modems and required The Translator disk. It later became Technical Difficulties XE ("TDXE") and required Basic XE. One of the authors ran a BBS called "The Tardis" (not to be confused with Atardis or any other software package).

Kyle22 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Any (and all) more info would be great. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilmoo Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 A few more details, from one of the authors: "it started out life as an AMIS system, but we added an account system and message forum to make it look and feel like a FoReM system." It was pretty popular in the Miami area, along with Carina (which was based out of Palm Beach). I used to run the non-XE version long, long ago. I'll ask around and see if I can find anyone who happens to still have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
