Re: A modern BBS
There¡¯s a smaller Lynx for DOS called ¡°Links¡±. I have not tried it but I did download the source for it. It also looks like it¡¯s written in C. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

Re: A modern BBS
I just fired up an old copy of Lynx under Win32, and was able to even use Google.? It in no way requires a mouse - it uses key strokes to select the next/previous "clickable" item (or text field).?

Lee, I was just browsing your site with Lynx with no issues.? Obviously it wouldn't render images but that was pretty much the only difference.? Also when selecting a link to a .pdf file Lynx

Good point. I think I have a 512K one because that¡¯s what I had handy ¨C they¡¯re used in many of the Retrobrew ECB and John Monahan¡¯s S100 various boards. I don¡¯t think I have any 62256 chips

Re: SIO and Hayesmodem
What a cute modem! Rich,? If you switch to using a 32K RAM on your SIO, you won't need to cut and patch any RTS/CTS traces.? Firmware is not making any use of RAM Banks. To have the system boot up

Re: SIO and Hayesmodem
Lee, There is Lynx of course. This is a linux text based browser that renders webpages into text like your vcfmw.org page. Maybe something like that could be ported to z80 code, if there arent already
