I too have a Commodore BBS program on floppy and still have the complete 
system and might put it back on the air someday just for giggles.

I ran the BBS first on 2meters then on 80mtrs on 3620 and had several 
who checked into it here in Oregon and Washington. Hardware was first a 
Yaesu FT-227R and then Kenwood TS-120 (still have the xtal but not the 
radio) and AEA CP-1.

  I ran it from the late 80s to about 1991, shutting it down for lack of 
use....sigh.....  (I blame LL BBSs and the internet....hi hi).
