AMIS

"Southeast AMIS of Charlotte North Carolina, was an unusual
boardthat catered to Timex, Atari (of course) and TRS-80's
including CoCos... ran on a version of AMIS so modified that it
didnt resemble AMIS... called COMET AMIS (home was Comet AMIS of
Algonic, MI) written by Matt Pritchard and Tom Johnson with some
heavy involvment of myself in certain features. Although there
were various, odd, hardware configurations, the board itself
always featured multiple message bases, private mail (user to
user), a (then) popular BBS News Service that was called something
soft News Net and was based out of Indianna and featured updated
news and information. It maintained master lists of AMIS boards
and one of the most accurate and updated lists of BBS systems in
the US, and after BUG quite the "master" AMIS list Southeast
carried on for a bit. Had callers from around the world, file
downloads, was very progressive for its time and was working on a
FIDO net type of thing when it went down. Had an ATR-8000,
harddrive, worked on MPP and then later "regular" 3000/1200 baud
modems. John Demar of New York State wrote the drivers (for MPP),
however the COMET people made them work properly. Charles
Marselett of Garland, Texas wrote the DOS (MYDOS I think) to make
all the weird hardware work... at one point there was 8 DEC "oct"
(as in 8x) drives runnning that used these damn expensive 5.25"
special disks, very sensitive to dust,however I liked the Tandem
drives. My father was fanatically opposed to my involvement in
computers (or anything else), and would shut the system down in
the summer the day I went out of town to my grandparents house in
the Ozarks backwoods, and would sometimes even get rid of my
equipment." - Trent Condollone
"One last thing about Southeast AMIS... most all of the AMIS
programs that ran special features such as password protection,
were Matt & Toms, although several people "claimed" to have
written them, they were just copies of Comet. Comet was the
original, and the other "similar" ones all had Matt's back door
that was hidden only in his Comet software.... Comet was the
finest Atari based system in its day, and deserves to be
remembered." - Trent Condollone
