The HMVH Corporation BBS started off on the 28th June 1994 on a puny little 80386SX/16, 4MB of RAM, initially a Hercules monitor, a 340MB and a 250MB hard drive, a Datatronics 14400 modem, and one helluva lot of optimism. However, the 15th December 1994 is regarded as the official incept date. Since then the BBS hardware has evolved to a Pentium 120 (the 6th CPU since day one) with 8MB of RAM. A 540MB, two 1.xGB hard drives and a CD-ROM make up for the program and data storage. A Ditto 3200 tape backup provides for some security, and the system communicates with the outside world via a generic 33k6 bps modem. That's about it! The operating platform is good old MS-DOS 5.0, the BBS software remains the excellent RemoteAccess, currently at version 2.02 (registered). A host of utilities and batch add-ons make the project run quite seamlessly and just about without human intervention. Press [Enter] to continue. |
