Encino Park RBBS ================ "I started Encino Park BBS using one of the first IBM PC clones from a company called Columbia Data. The software I used was RBBS. It was open source. I Also made changes to this which worked pretty well. (used Basic if I remember correctly). Many of the surrounding BBS were using Wildcat during this time but I resisted. The system consisted of the Columbia Data with the 8088 taken out and replaced with a V20 from NEC. A 300 BAUD modem. Later a Universal Data Systems modem was added and when the Board shut down it had the following: The Columbia Data IBM PC with 640k ram, 80 MByte Micropolis Hard drive, a Practical Peripherals 2400 baud modem, Color RGB CRT monitor, Mouse systems optical mouse. I made a some friends while running the board, some I still have contact with today. I was very surprised when a hard drive partitioning utility I wrote made it from Encino to Boston where a old friend saw it and got back to me. The cool thing was that I was not part of any kind of network. It just of migrated." - Jay Tyzzer Phone : 818-342-9661 Place : Encino, CA Years : 1982 - 1989 Sysop : Jay Tyzzer Software: RBBS-PC Listed by telephone number, as they all were.
