Realm Master has fallen on some hard times, so he's asked me to help sell his BBS. If you're interested, please read the conditions following the items. $225 CMD HD-52 (Quantum) and two Verbatim servos of 20 megs each. All three drives have zero bad blocks; the servos come with their power supply and connecting cables. The manual and two utilities disks are included, and all the software that was uploaded to the HD when used on TOR C= Board (except for the Image BBS software). Note: we'll delete the Image software but leave everything else on. But if you'd like to buy Image, please make an offer. $30 JiffyDOS-installed Excelerator+ disk drive. 5.5" wide and not sale even 1.5" high, it's very slim and ultra-fast. It beats a pending 1541-II in space and speed -- on a 64 w/Jiffy, it's like a 128 with a 1571! IMO, of course, I feel this is cheaper than buying a 1541-II and JD separately. $50 Commodore 1581, good condition with power supply and serial cable. $7 Epyx Fastload cartridge with original box and instructions. These prices are merely what I'm asking; make an offer, if you'd like! As always, thanks to all those who have helped me clear things out. All items are in excellent physical and mechanical condition, and all are guaranteed non-DOA or-your-money-back. I hope that everyone's been satisfied in the past; no complaints yet! Buyer pays shipping, which will be by the United States Postal Service, unless you prefer otherwise. A couple of inconsiderate people suddenly stopped mailing me after we discussed shipping, forcing me to do this: I will hold the item(s) for seven (7) days after your last contact. You jerks know who you are. Similarly, I specifically reserve my right to refuse to sell to anyone for any reason. Please mail replies to either or . I can be reached usually in mid-afternoon at 801-967-2329; no collect calls, please.

There were cool things you could do like launch submarines to > evade the enemy radar and use helicopters's radars to extend the range > of your ships's Tomahawk missles. Does anyone remember what game this was? Strike Fleet. One of my favorite tactics was to launch all my helicopters at the enemy fleet to draw some fire away from my fleet. Great game that you could (had to) play for hours at a time. -- <<-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=>> >> Commodore 128 User / mpython@vgernet.net \ Monty Python Fan << << CUGB President /________________________\ Computer Addict >> >> The C=64/128 Digital Homepage http://www.vgernet.net/mpython << <<=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=->> #! rnews 1173 Path: pravda.aa.msen.com!news1.best.com!nntp.primenet.com!uunet!in3.uu.net!nntp. inet.fi!news.funet.fi!news.cs.tut.fi!isosotka.cs.tut.fi!albert From: albert@isosotka.cs.tut.fi (Ojala Pasi 'Albert') Newsgroups: comp.sys.cbm Subject: Re: Reading amiga disks on 1581 Date: 24 Jul 1996 10:05:52 GMT Organization: Tampere University of Technology Lines: 20 Distribution: inet Message-ID: <4t4si0$sg@peippo.cs.tut.fi> References: <4slorj$mes@camlaw.rutgers.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: isosotka.cs.tut.fi NNTP-Posting-User: albert In article <4slorj$mes@camlaw.rutgers.edu>, Mr. Self Destruct wrote: >Someone told me there was a utility that let you read and or write amiga >disks with a 1581. Anybody know about it??? There is a program to read 1581 disks on an Amiga 3.5" drive. Available from e.g. ftp.funet.fi. However, I haven't heard of a program that would read/write Amiga disks on 1581. Possibly because: 1) Amiga puts 11 block per track, 1581 10 2) the MFM encoding in Amiga isn't exactly the same as in 1581 -Pasi -- "Why, what's inside there ?"
