Hi James,

Do you think any of those VIC-20 users are on the 'net? If so, I'd likely try and get my BBS back up and running! I'm going to look for my 5 1/4 floppies tonight - they must be in a box somewhere!

Originally, when I started my VIC BBS, it was all off the tape drive, and everything ran in RAM!!! I had a 16K expander card, and I would have to manually save everything back to tape a few times a day, or else if the power blipped, everything was GONE! I was soooooo happy to get a 1541! LOL!

Thanks!

Rick

Hey Rick,

If you still have that software around someplace you should send a copy to some commodore websites or TPUG or something like that. There are a bunch of VIC20 users around these days and a few sites specific to VIC20 fans.
