Particles! BBS 
============== 

http://www.particles.org, telnet://particlesbbs.dyndns.org:6400, telnet://particlesbbs.hopto.org:6400 

Been around since 1992... which is like, an eternity in computer-time. 

What Is It? 
=========== 

It's a BBS running Centipede on a Commodore 128D with message bases dedicated to old computer goodness.  
It's for all things old.. you don't need to own a Commodore computer to join in the fun.

Also: 

[+] 10000s of files for the Commodore 64, Vic-20, 128, Plus/4 (NTSC), CP/M and GEOS 
[+] 1000s of NTSC Plus/4 files with more being converted all the time. 
[+] Over 100 file areas so far, still adding more 
[+] 60+ online games (Empire, Nuke'Em, tons more) 
[+] Lots of message bases with posts from some very interesting people. 
[+] No seriously... people post.  Stuff is talked about.  It's pretty amazing.
[+] 1000s of text files online
[+] Home of the Electric Dreams Podcast (http://www.edbbspodcast.com/)

Runs PETSCII, ANSI, ASCII, 40 columns, 80 columns so connect with whatever you want. 

Speaking of connecting, connect from the website at http://www.particles.org if you don't have a terminal. 

Useless Hardware Info: 
====================== 

Running on a Commodore 128D w/640K of RAM (which is enough for anyone) 
Ports open at 38,400 so it flies.  Ever seen an 8-bit transfer at 38.4K?  Holy crap. 
This is done with the magic of a Swiftlink RS232 adapter. 
Punter, Multipunter, Ymodem, Xmodem xfers. Find one you like. 
4GB CMD SCSI drive running off a Compact Flash card using a SCSI to CF adapter.  Fast.  For 8-bit.
