I worked there! Use PCBoard. ?
Hah, believe it or not I've modded setups for Renegade, oBV/2, Impulse, Iniquity, and Mystic BBS, but never got a chance to set up a PCBoard setup, although I did help someone with some testing on a board that ran PCB. So, PCB it is this go round.
? My RPi4B is back to being a paperweight for right now, it took 2 days to copy what should be about 350GB from a M.2 Sata SSD to a backup USB 3.0 4TB, but exFat I guess was set up by the manufacturer with big cluster sizes because it wants to report half of the disk space is gone. Plus the case fan was way noisy compared to my i5 NUC and also bright so I'll have to fix those things. Originally my RPi4B was going to be an emulation machine, but it does good only up through about PSP level, doesn't do quite 60fps for X16 unless maybe you overclock it, which, I don't hate my machines, so I try to take care of them... then it was going to be an OTG HID keyboard/mouse, but ConfigFS doesn't work quite so well on some hardware devices I use... then it was going to be a NAS, but, that didn't turn out so well. Maybe it could just be a BBS I don't know, but it seems like it wants to be more, I just don't know what exactly.
? I've got Ubuntu running on the Intel NUC i5 and it's working as good as Linux works anyway, given all the configurations I have to do, but I've got RetroPie set up on it, although it isn't showing Dosbox in EmulationStation. It runs Matt Heffernan's tile demo fine, but it's having sound issues on the YM2151 music, it's some kind of pulseaudio/alsa configurtion muckery that you have to mess with on Linux systems I guess.
? Probably would have made more sense to put Windows on it, but I want something more lightweight for it than Windows 10.
It would be neat for there to be a version of DOS with PEEK/POKE like the C64 that is also 64-bit with ARM support, has NTFS, has TCP and utilities, has some of the things of Linux like multiple ttys, but is a lot more like DOS. I checked out FreeDOS but it doesn't do all the things.
