Yes there are a few options .. the F18A which is a FPGA board that gives you VGA out and a tms-9900 GPU at 100mhz and also the Pico9918 which is similar but runs off a Pi Pico. I have both in my store when they are available.

Major BBS required a 286 for it's expanded memory (up to 16mb!) and it was a task-switching based multi-line software all written in C. It worked really well even on a slow 286 to have up to 255 callers one one 286 system. I started with 2 lines, worked up to 4, then 8.

After spending time on some DLX systems and enjoying the chat rooms then looking into some other multi-line systems I decided to go with The Major BBS software which was the most expandable and had source code available for me to modify and write my own software if I choose.

I set up the XT with QuickBBS and put together a nice fido-net capable system with door games and file areas and it wasn't as popular as the TI-NET system was, Later I moved to RandomAccess software which was more robust but it still wasn't what I wanted. I decided I wanted to make it multi-line.

At one point the BBS was busy from about 6am until around 1am. I had to kick someone off or wait until 1am to log in myself and play my games and check messages etc. This was great but it made it so I was unable to use my TI-99/4A much.. So I decided in 1986 to build my first PC-XT for the BBS

I started with Techie BBS software and then later moved to TI-NET which was promised to be able to use fido-net a popular mail network at the time mostly running on PC based BBS's. TI-NET never could resolve the network part but was a great single line BBS with online games and forums/downloads

I started the BBS on my TI-99/4A as my phone bills at the time were bordering on insane for a kid who mainly got his spending money mowing lawns on the weekend, so I decided to set up my own BBS to get people to call me and upload stuff rather than me calling them. So much for that plan!

There's 122 people in this starter pack now, which I think is pretty darned cool. Bluesky really is turning out to be a fine place. Please reshare and lets keep growing together!
