Hello Everyone!

In this video I bring back to life a 30+ year-old Amiga 1200, install a terminal program from scratch (without any working disks with a CF-Card!), and attempt to dial into a nearly 40-year-old Commodore 64 BBS called snobsoft using a vintage 2400 baud modem.

But first, I had to figure out how to even get terminal software running—no easy feat after years of silence from my Amiga. To complete the setup, I borrowed a classic 1081 CRT monitor from my Amiga 1000. Needless to say, the old hardware didn’t exactly behave itself…

Plus: I showcase real BBS messages from 1986. Discover what computer enthusiasts were talking about almost 40 years ago

Thanks for the video link. What is the dial-up number for snobsoft?

Thanks!

You're very welcome!

At the moment, Snobsoft is only available via on-demand dial-up. The phone number shown in the video might change soon—hopefully, the BBS will eventually be accessible via dial-up 24/7. But we can definitely arrange an appointment if you'd like to call in. I always have to set up a few things beforehand. Do you happen to have a cool old-school computer you could use to dial in?

what is 'on-demand dial-up'?
Can someone go on a website and click a button and it's ready for calls?
Or do you just have it up whenever?

Also who is 'we'? isn't it just you?

Dumas (the one who asked for the number) and I. And by ‘on demand’ (or whatever you want to call it), I just meant that I can arrange a session with whoever wants to dial into Snobsoft (e.g., by messaging me). Then I’ll prepare everything, and off we go…
