Wish I could help with the Uii+, the menu's are the close to the U64 to add
in roms on the U64 I just toss them on my USB Stick (Since it is inside my
case I FTP into it) and just press enter on the ROM and it asks where I want
to put it.

Good luck I am sure you will get things going.. If you want really big
drives, look at the FD4000 emulation in Vice, you get I think 3 megs on each
disk, I am in the process of partitioning them on my Vice BBS into 1581
partitions so I can break up the directories. I had an issue the other day of
my BBS not allowing me ot post a message because I ran out of Directory space
on my subboard disk, so I am going to break down each disk.. 

I know you mentioned in another post you were interested in Image BBS, go to
8bitboyz.com I think that is is, there is a file I put together called BBS on
a Stick. Unzip it to a blank USB stick, doesn't have to be a large stick a
gig is more then enough room. (this is for Windows, I am considering a Docker
type Linux setup for the BBS on a Stick V3.0 version) then run the runme.bat
and it will boot Image up to a config window and you answer a few questions,
and it will boot to a waiting for call screen which will be a full fledged
BBS to run if you wanted. Let me know if you check it out and what you think
of it. It will also be updated by the end of the year with the latest ML to
get it up to 38.4k..
