Re: [ql-users] Level 2 Drivers and BBS
Hi, The MAKE_DIR command first appeared for the Miracle Hard drive, whic was the fisrt stable hard drive system for the QL, as I ran a BBS on a 40Mb Miracle Hard Drive for a long time. Maybe the command to make hard directories was incorporated in the Trump card Toolkit 2 rom, but it did notreally work on floppy drives... well the one I had. It was not till the Gold Card appeared, that I had a hard directory system on floppy disks. This seems a long time ago, running a BBS on on 768K Trump card with 40Mb hard drive, Qconnect, Amstrad SM2400 modem and Qbox BBS software. Apart from the over run problems in the Qconnect, it all seemd to work... then Pbox, Qubide, Hermes and USR Courier modem made the system so much faster. I still ike the idea of a BBS system, but I think maybe an Internet BBS would be a good idea. Do you think it would be worth the effort translating the BBS system to an Internet web site.
