    Greetings!

    After 13 years, the forum at Retro-Link has moved! It is now at

    https://portcommodore.com/retro-link

    If you have signed up at the forum, your passwords should still work. Also the forum has been upgraded and should be much more reliable... no more errors.

    The Retro-link forum concentrates on Commodore, Amiga, SCCAN meetings, other computer platforms, and the 1980's!

    Truly,

    Maybe, one of these days, I'll make the 35 mile drive to make one of your meetings. My brother and I used to run a BBS on a C128 and a 300 bps modem back in the late 1980's here in Visalia. I don't remember the software we used, but I ran one on a C64 before that. The first computer I used (outside of high school) was a Plus 4.

    Hey, I live in Visalia!

    We live near Riggin & Dinuba Blvd (Hwy 63).

    I have (or had) a couple of Commodore emulators, but never could find some of the old programs I used to run. I also couldn't remember the OS commands, etc. I had C64 and then a 128 with a couple 1541 drives and even a 1581. I can't remember the modem I had, but it was only 300 bps.

    In high school, we used a dumb terminal with handset cradle modem to connect to the school's computer. (1980 or 81)
