Description of BBS
Originally began life on a Commodore Vic-20 in 1983 using modified Electric Magazine basic BBS software which was written and sold for the C=64. Ran Hal's BBS on the 64 for a while and then EBBS on the 128. Moved to my Amiga in 1986 and ran the following different software packages: BBS-PC!, Paragon, Starnet, MEBBSNet and finally Excelsior! Shut down in 1997 and reopened in 2018 using Excelsior! for a short time (has a y2k bug) and then moved to Zeus which it is currrently running. We have weekly chats every Saturday nite at 10pm EST. Join us if you can.

Your email address will not be published. Required fields are marked *That is a great history and cool pictures you included in this listing on the history of your BBS!! That A1000 looks maxed but glad to see it in action.
The weblink to the BBS shouldn’t have an s in the http portion. It should be just http://www.ciaamiga.org I need to fix that I guess ha.
Hey Tim, I got that fixed up for you!
Any other changes/fixes you need just click the “Report Listing Changes” button on the listing (at the top of the listing usually) and I will get on it like a fresh made cheese steak sammy! 😉
Believe it or not I had pulled that 1000 out of my storage and had it set up on a table on my back porch when the weather was really nice. Did the chat from there and really enjoyed it.
Sipping a smooth drink with a philly in the other hand chatting on the porch! hehe
