Bei Bauarbeiten auf dem Grundstück Ecke Elisabethstraße und Bilker Allee wurde am Montagnachmittag (23.3.) eine Gasleitung beschädigt und Gas trat aus. Die
Springtime is knocking at the door, so we did some very early spring-cleaning 🧹
RC-BOX BBS, the world's first (and currently only) Bulletin Board System to run on real RC2014 hardware (Z80 based Homebrew Kit) utilizing oldie-but-goldie CP/M 2.2 has seen a minor update:
- new "read latest bulletin" prompt after login, skip the bulletin if you don't want to read it / already read it
- fixed total line count at message output
- raised max lines per message from 48 to 64 (at 64 columns per message line)
- added some essential software to the file base (for those brave enough to try x/ymodem downloads).
Visit us using your favourite terminal program. Heck, we have no ANSI so even a teletype will do!

This is what I see on my living-room TV when someone logs on and downloads a file from RC-BOX BBS
RC2014 gets online
I eventually found the time today (after nearly a year) to upload my TMSnake game for RC2014 systems to RC-BOX BBS (the world's first -and currently only- RC2014 based BBS).
Up/downloads are possible on the CP/M command line using the KMD transfer command.
NOTE: only old (8 bit CRC) xmodem and ymodem protocols are supported.
Transfers tested with QTERM on CP/M as well as CCGMS Future and StrikeTerm on a Commodore 64.
Did I ever mention RC-BOX BBS - the world's first and (currently) only RC2014 based bulletin board system?!
Running on a real RC2014, powered by a Z80, CP/M 2.2 and a highly customized fork of RBBS4 this single-user system offers you the 1985 online experience.
Text games available on the CP/M command shell !!
P.S.: connection info is in the ALT-text or in my profile info.

@deadbeef fun fact: last year someone dialed into my single-user BBS #rcbox #rc2014bbs using a 1980s typewriter that featured a RS-232 port, can you imagine that?! The post is still on the sytem, in the "Archive" board ...
@deadbeef You're welcome! There's also @particlesbbs with his Commodore 128 based BBS
And, of course, my own two babies (see my profile for more info), @Wintermute_BBS and #rc2014bbs #rcbox
I just noticed some existing user trying to log into #rcbox #rc2014bbs but being unable to remember their password.
In this case, feel free to contact me here on #Mastodon so I can reset it for you.
