Completely understandable.. That is why I was so into making sure it was
40/80 everything gets centered properly for 40 or 80 and supports ANSI (not a
full blown conversion but 80-90% of the graphics of ANSI are covered..

I am running it in Emulation, I have run it on real hardware, it runs on
pretty much anything. There are quick start setups with emulated HD's and
anything else..

Only thing needed for real C64 hardware is a Null Modem cable,swiftlink or a
user port modem, and BBS Server on a PC, if you have at minimum 1 or 2 1581
drives or best a HD it runs fine. I ran it for well over a year with a Lt
Kernal clone.

Thanks wasn't me the main programming was done by Larry Hedman (X-Tec) I
couldn't get back my skills. Biggest modified boards I know are run by Jay
Campey (Hoy Brothers) 13th floor BBS and a couple ofothers, He has been
modifying his boards since the 90's.. Google 13th floor BBS and you'll find
his address..
