    This echo is for the enjoyment of "retrocomputing". Any computer system,
    be it a mainframe all the way down to a tiny T/S 1000, is on-topic here
    as long as it is not currently being manufactured. Hardware and software discussions are also on-topic.

    By your participation in this echo, you agree to the following rules:

    * Real names are required to be used in this echo.

    * Be friendly. Agree to disagree. Don't flame or argue in this echo.
    If you must do so, please take it to netmail or somewhere else.

    * Do not discuss anything illegal concerning technology in this echo.

    * English is the main language of the echo since this is the moderator's
    native tongue. You may post a message in your native tongue as long
    as there is a comprehensible English translation in the same message.

    * No blatently off-topic posts, such as BBS ads, "test" messages,
    et cetera.

    * Please don't gate this echo to USENET, a mailing list, another BBS
    mail network, an online Fidonet mail archive, or anything else
    without the moderator's express and written permission. This is
    a Fidonet echo and needs to stay in Fidonet.

    * This echo does not recognize any local or regional echomail policy,
    such as EP1.

    * The moderator has the final say in dealing with problems in the echo.

    Great stuff. I still have my C64 with a C128 disk drive 1571, and about 180 5.25 inch floppies. I wish I could make them run!
