BBS - Enid, Oklahoma (1:19/47) Public Message Message # 954 *MM1 TECH Echo* To : All From : John A Donaldson Subject : Ribbs_Osk Date : 95/04/19 21:14:00 If you are going to Chicago Fest and wish to get a BETA copy of RIBBS_OSK for the MM/1 then you will need to bring a MM/1 formatted diskette with you. Make sure you do a dmode /d1 typ=$27 sct=37 t0s=37. This will allow us to do a backup and easly make you a copy. After you have copied Runb,Shell,TMode,Dir,Del,Lha,Display,Shell,Math,Copy you will have a fully functional BBS with a 100K MessageBase. It will still have over 300K free space. The RIBBS OS9 DOCS file is included. If you have used RIBBS OS9, then this will be a snap for you. We have made some improvements over the OS9 version. Namely RIBBS_OSK will run LOCKED BAUD at 38400, if you also have a hi-speed modem that will allow it. It also runs 100X faster than the OS9 version. This has been many months of hard work for the BETA Team. Porting the orginal Basic09 and 6809 assembly code over to OSK Basic and 68000 assembly code and making it all work, was IMHO well worth it. Now we can start using the MM/1 in a new way. Remember this is a BETA release. Thus you may find some small bugs or area/functions that may not work correctly. See you all in Chicago. Stop by the Blackhawk booth for a demo of this and KTerm V3.0. John A.
