  • 03:0803:08, 1 October 2025 diff hist +10,417‎ N Reu ‎ Created page with "<strong>The √sys.ramove Script Program </strong> If you want to have your program overlays run off a RAM expander, then the quickest way to transfer the programs would be to LOAD them into memory and then SAVE them to the REU RAM-disk. This is exactly what the "√sys.ramove" program does, because it is a BASIC "script" program that uses the Script-Merge utility designed by myself. A script is simply a set of instructions that are executed as if you typed them in f..."

There are many different types of high-speed modems, some of which may not be compatible with others because of the diverse "standards" set down by different companies. If you plan to use a high-speed modem, you should invest in one that can handle many different communications protocols. Some of the more co..."
  • 02:4002:40, 1 October 2025 diff hist +2,456‎ N 2400baud ‎ Created page with "Color 64 BBS supports the Hayes Smartmodem 2400 and many good compatible modems. Without using the SwiftLink interface, you should find that your C64 and Color 64 can handle 2400 baud file transfers with very few errors. Here is how I recommend you configure your modem to set up your system for 2400 baud. Hayes Smart modems come from the factory with DTR and CARRIER DETECT forced true. The 1200 baud modems had switches while the 2400 modems don't. Instead, they h..."
  • 02:3502:35, 1 October 2025 diff hist +669‎ N Avatex ‎ Created page with "If you use the Avatex 1200 modem (not the Avatex 1200 HC or the Avatex 2400) on your system, then your overlays need to be changed because the Avatex 1200 is not completely Hayes-compatible. Once your system has been modified, you will not be able to use the overlays with a true Hayes-compatible modem, so MAKE A BACKUP of all the overlays to be changed. Merge the following files into the specified overlays: <ul style="list-style: none;"><li>ava.init -> √bbs.init..."
  • 02:3402:34, 1 October 2025 diff hist +441‎ N Skyles ‎ Created page with "The Color 64 system will automatically detect if you are using the Flash! interface. The system will only take advantage of the interface on device 8, however. As such, you will need to make sure the 1541 to be used with the interface is device 8. To fit all your program files on the 1541 disk, you will have to leave out a couple overlays, either the "√bbs.ov2" and "√bbs.ov3" overlays, or the "√bbs.nw1" or "√bbs.nw2" overlays."
  • 02:3302:33, 1 October 2025 diff hist +706‎ N Fastload ‎ Created page with "Some fastloader cartridges may require some special merges for the BBS program to work properly during LOAD operations. To check if you need the following merges, turn your computer on with the fastloader in place (and active), and type the following line and press RETURN: <strong>PRINTPEEK(817) </strong> If the number that is printed is 223 (two hundred twenty-three), then you need these fastloader merges, which need to be merged into the specified overlays: *fst...."
  • 02:3102:31, 1 October 2025 diff hist +1,728‎ N Cmdram ‎ Created page with "Color 64 works great with this super device from Creative Micro Designs. If you also have a CMD HD, you can use the parallel cable and have your overlays load in a flash. If you have a 17XX series REU from Commodore and you do not wish to use it as extra RAM on the RamLink, you can also use it with RAMDOS. Just follow the instructions in your RamLink manual for accessing the REU "as is" (i.e. "direct" mode), then follow the regular Color 64 installation instructi..."
  • 02:3002:30, 1 October 2025 diff hist +2,205‎ N Cmd ‎ Created page with "The HD series of hard drives from Creative Micro Designs is another excellent choice for running a BBS system. You can allocate your disk space in almost any configuration you can think of, dividing the storage up into partitions. The CMD HD's Native Mode partitions also support subdirectories, which allow you to dynamically allocate space to individual file directories. The only "requirement" for using the CMD HD might be this: If you plan to have your Program F..."
  • 02:2802:28, 1 October 2025 diff hist +4,650‎ N Ict ‎ Created page with "Color 64 BBS fully supports the InConTrol Data Chief HFD20 hard disk drive system. All you need to do is use "hm4 11 22" as the drive command for whatever files you want stored in a chain defined as starting at partition 11 and ending at partition 22 or h10 for files you want stored in an individual partition 10. The only files that you can put in chain mode are Public Messages Help Files, Text Files, Uploads and Downloads. System Files, Private Mail, Caller Logs, Pas..."
  • 02:2502:25, 1 October 2025 diff hist +2,764‎ N Ltkernal ‎ Created page with "Xetec's Lt. Kernal Hard Drive system is an excellent choice to run your BBS system on. It supports up to 9 different partitions of disk space called Logical Units, and each of these units has 15 "users" which are like subdirectories. This can mean you can have up to 135 separate file directories. Color 64 will NOT be able to use the Lt. Kernal and RAMDOS at the same time, if you have an REU in configuration with the HD. To use the Lt. Kernal HD on the 64, you must..."
  • 02:2202:22, 1 October 2025 diff hist +461‎ N Techsupport ‎ Created page with "I’ll reiterate I’m not the author of Color 64, whether that be 7.37, 8.0 or 8.1. That said, I’m here to help with what I’ve learned as well as to support my modified build and/or help you get running. I’m easy to locate by jumping over to my website at www.itchybutt.org. I’m not strong suited to the 7.37 build; your best bet is OasisBBS.org for questions there, but if you are dealing with 8.1 or my 8.1.0a, please feel free to reach out to me!"
  • 02:2202:22, 1 October 2025 diff hist +2,509‎ N 81aupdates ‎ Created page with "I still consider myself a rookie when it comes to the 8.1 code structure…. Just enough to be dangerous. That said, I’ve been working with the code for the last two years and I am slowly gaining steam with successful modifications and several bug corrections that came with 8.0/8.1. The beauty of this product is that we have the freedom to make it truly customized to our liking. It was in this spirit that I’ve spent countless weekend nights up to the crack of d..."
  • 02:2002:20, 1 October 2025 diff hist +2,058‎ N Configurations ‎ Created page with "The smallest possible system would be two 1541 disk drives, with three disks: Program disk, Boot disk, and system disk (all other file groups). The first drive would be the Program Files, and the drive from which you boot the system. The second drive would have your system disk in it and would be used for all the other file groups (System Files, Public messages, etc.). With larger amounts of space, there are a few guidelines to remember: <ul><li>You should always k..."

The BBS program divides up external storage into "drives" (short for "disk drive"). In these instructions, a drive is a generic term used to refer to any type of external storage. For example, a drive can be a 1541 floppy disk drive, a CMD HD 16-megabyte partition, a 2-megabyte REU, or any other separate and isolated area where files can be stored...."

All the overlay file names begin with "√bbs." and have a suffix in the form of an alphanumeric. For example: <ul> </ul>"
  • 20:2520:25, 30 September 2025 diff hist +8,718‎ N Hardware ‎ Created page with "<strong>Hardware Support</strong> This BBS system operates on native hardware (with almost any combination of disk drives to include SD2IEC), emulated hardware like VICE, or newer builds of the Commodore such as Commodore Ultimate Elite II with IEC capability. It operates well with 1581 disk drives (or D81 images), but they are not recommended for any sections of the BBS that require REL file creation (like the system’s PASSWORD file or games that create these types o..."
