Amiga BBS Online in 2019

Post author here, let me know if you have any questions! I think the ESP8266 can also get other devices online, but haven't tried it.

Definitely cool to see things like this... While I tend to prefer emulation over legacy hardware approaches, it's very cool to see these kinds of things. I'm a bit of a fan of legacy tech, and online BBSes and the ANSi/Ascii art scenes today. A lot of it is now on Facebook more than the BBSes still alive. The way Twitter, FB and YT have headed, I'd be surprised not to see more users on more classic independent sites and irc more and more.

Neat! I like tutorials which give people reasonable options and don&#x27;t assume readers know everything.<p>The MiST is a nice idea, but until any FPGA implementation can emulate an m68k MMU, I&#x27;ll be running the real thing. I use my Amiga to compile m68k NetBSD packages.<p>Catalog files are basically man(ual) pages. They&#x27;re documentation. Considering the size and cost of modern storage, it wouldn&#x27;t hurt to install them.

Very nice. I didn&#x27;t know about the Mist box and now I want one :) As a former owner of a few Amigas (500, 1000), part of me wants one now, and the other part is worried that using one now will spoil the memory.
