Well of course I have machines for testing/development.
However I use one for my BBS and incoming fax and outside temperature
monitoring (linked into the welcome message on my BBS).
It has been running 24hrs in different guises since about 1988.
It is now:
Aurora/Qubide/Mplane/SGC/sH/Minerva MKII/56k modem/256mb main HD,RomDisq
off Mplane, 4 floppy drives (1 ED, 1HD and 2 DD)/I2C analogue i/f and 24
256mb partitions on second HD for backup.
I also use it as a network server for all other QLs.
Ben has a boxed QL - but std layout, so keyboard/mdvs are on ribbon
cable. This is networked to the BBS down a 150ft network cable under
the garden.
