Wintermute_BBSOut there, in the worrying world of today is a little <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Zilog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Zilog</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Z80" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Z80</a> computer with a mere 64KB of <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RAM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RAM</a> and running the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/1970s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#1970s</a> CP/M operating system.This little machine is connected to the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/intertubes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#intertubes</a> and it's serving a <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/singleuser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#singleuser</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/bulletinboardsystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bulletinboardsystem</a> for you, the worrying souls of <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/yesteryears" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yesteryears</a> to visit.Take a break from today, connect like it's 1985 - here on RC-BOX BBS, the world's first and (currently) only <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rc2014" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rc2014</a> based bulletin board system in the world!Check out the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/alttext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alttext</a> or my <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/profile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#profile</a> info for information on how to connect.<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bbs</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rc2014bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rc2014bbs</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rcbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rcbox</a>

Wintermute_BBS+++ Another Sysop News +++ Another Sysop News +++Aside from (hopefully) working around the recent connectivity issues with RC-BOX BBS, I've also purged the "General" message file and moved all existing messages to a new "Archive" message file. It's read-only but it cotnains all the posts to "General" from july 2022 - january 2025.Also, the "Making", "Code & Co." and "Announce" message files have been dropped as they have never been used.As always you can find the telnet address of the BBS in the ALT-Text or my profile here on <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/oldbytesdotspace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oldbytesdotspace</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rcbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rcbox</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rc2014bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rc2014bbs</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bbs</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rcbbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rcbbs</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rc2014" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rc2014</a>

Wintermute_BBS+++ Sysop News +++ Sysop News +++Over the past few months I have witnessed some strange behavior with RC-BOX BBS (the world's first - and currently only - RC2014 based BBS) where the Wifi modem would loose connection over night and not restore it properly. As a result the BBS was unreachable.I'm still trying to figure out what exactly happens but may have found a workaround.As always you can find the telnet address of the BBS in the ALT-Text or my profile here on <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/oldbytesdotspace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oldbytesdotspace</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rcbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rcbox</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rc2014bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rc2014bbs</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bbs</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rcbbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rcbbs</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rc2014" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rc2014</a>

Wintermute_BBSI guess this doesn't happen too often: someone used a <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Brother" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Brother</a> EP 44 thermal typewriter to connect to <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rcbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rcbox</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bbs</a> - I love it when users get creative! <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rc2014" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rc2014</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rc2014bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rc2014bbs</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bbs</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/thermaltypewriter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#thermaltypewriter</a>

Wintermute_BBSI am currently doing some testing with <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rc2014bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rc2014bbs</a> and there is something strange here:<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rcbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rcbox</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/BBS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BBS</a> runs on a Z80 CP/M system ( <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rc2014" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rc2014</a> ) and I am using the CP/M file transfer tool KMD.COM to <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/transfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transfer</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/files" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#files</a> to and from the system via <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/xmodem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xmodem</a> (CRC and 1K - both possible).This seems to work as long as the client machine up- or downloading files is an <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/8bit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#8bit</a> machine: a RC2014 with <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Qterm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Qterm</a> works, a <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Commodore64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Commodore64</a> with <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/CCGMS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CCGMS</a> works - but as soon as I try to use <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Syncterm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Syncterm</a> or <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Qodem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Qodem</a> or any other modern <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/terminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#terminal</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/program" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#program</a> the transfers fail with either "error in header" or, more often, with "CRC error".How is this possible?! 🤔

Wintermute_BBSAnd for all you <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rc2014" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rc2014</a> fans out there - here's a website I re-discovered while searching for something else.I remember Lumir Vanek from my previous social media experience, the one that once was a bird. But I left there and lost contact.Anyway - his website is a treasure of information and inspiration. And he even guides you through the process of connecting with <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rc2014bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rc2014bbs</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rcbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rcbox</a> <a href="http://www.valachnet.cz/lvanek/diy/rc2014/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://www.valachnet.cz/lvanek/diy/rc2014/index.html</a>

Wintermute_BBScleaning up my cloud storage, I found this little clip of <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rcbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rcbox</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rc2014bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rc2014bbs</a> in action. The setup is still the same, placed in the living-room cupboard next (and connected to) to the tv.btw: speaking of my little <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rc2014" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rc2014</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/z80" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#z80</a> based <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bbs</a> I think that it may be useful to upgrade the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/romwbw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#romwbw</a> version to 3.4

I came to CP/M in late 2020 when I built my first <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rc2014" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rc2014</a> kit and expanded it. Then I ran CP/M and learned about it. And then, only then, I understood why this OS is so legendary! I use it on a daily basis now. Even if it is just for checking for messages in <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/rcbox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rcbox</a>.
