    Hi Nuskooler,

    collection of boards that are either running under vintage/unusual/unique software and/or running on vintage/unusual/unique hardware.

    Do you know "CBBS/NV"?
    It runs CBBS, the first ever BBS software :)

    I wonder if it would run on an RC2014? I had plans to try and get a BBS running on mine, but never got around to finishing that project.

    As far as I know it is not "out of the box" compatible with an RC2014 -- because like almost every CP/M program that uses a serial port, it has to
    be adapted to the serial chip (eg. SIO/2).
    In either the RC2014 or the "retro-comp" Google group, someone asked about porting CBBS in the last weeks - so maybe, there is some development going
    on here.
    I suggested to adapt CBBS to the RomWBW serial functions, so the program could run on every hardware and serial chip where RomWBW is running.

    So I hope it will be available soon :)

    Regards,
    Anna
