Hello Mike,

22 Feb 22 16:41, you wrote to me:

 >> what bbs (mailer, tosser, etc) did you run on your XT ?

 MP> Not sure about Daryl's, but mine ran GT Power BBS software.  It had

 MP> I also tried once to put an upgraded 8-bit serial card in it so I

 MP> I still have it somewhere, too, but I think the power supply on it

and what was the setup for the 386? same bbs software?
