Slow & steady progress!
BBS software w/no support, but w/Bucko's vast knowledge, maybe one other & myself pushing through to make this 1997 Amiga BBS work w/no modernization other than a y2k patch last month. This is BBSing!

If you have a CMD FD-2000 or FD-4000 drive that constantly has data being updated and added to it what do you find is the best and easiest way to back it up on the regular? ZoomFloppy, using U64/C64U VR drives?
Would love to hear your input on this!

Are you freaking serious? This is way overboard & as Mrs 8-Bit says "you can fix ugly but not stupid!"
No way this is worth the asking $$$ & just killing the real value of retro causing the snow ball effect that effects all aspects of retro with listings like this.

This was posted on X earlier today & I found it to be a very good break down for the Emulation vs FPGA, which one is suited better for each one of us, based on our needs.

FPGA better than Emulation?

Tonight was a first in a LONG TIME.
Due to RL medical w/Mrs. 8-Bit this year, theres been no free time. Tonight, I found an hour & made a few changes to RSPOS (retro inventory system). The big thing was to make the SERIES field show both the series # & description as seen here.
