My Lisa clone has a new case! A real case, in fact. It’s a mishmash of vintage parts, clone parts, and modern parts. And I built it!

The #AppleLisaClone #BBS is still working. The new SCC chip seems like it's doing well (I hope!).
Help me test it by dialing into the BSS!
telnet to bbs.mc68000.com port 6400
Cheers and have fun!
Hey retropal! I put the #AppleLisaClone #BBS back up for a short period. I'm testing the system with a better serial comm controller this time. Also got a chance to flex a domain I've had for a very long time which seemed appropriate

I disabled AppleTalk on the modem port and serial ports seem more stable now!
BBS is still up-- 29 folks made accounts and left 21 messages on the board.
So something keeps causing it to stop working. The OS and BBS software are still fine. PPP connection seems fine. I think it's the serial port hardware on the IO card. It seems to get munged at some point. Once it happens, no serial port program (like ZTerm) works. I have to reboot the Lisa completely.
Anyway, it's up again if you want to try it. I added a fancy ASCII graphic to the login screen!
Did you miss the BBS I ran briefly on the #AppleLisaClone yesterday?
Now's your second chance to try it (for as long as it stays up lol).
telnet to bbs.biosrhythm.com port 6400
If you try it later and it's not working, it went down!
So I think got my #AppleLisaClone online as well! It's currently running SubText #BBS on MacWorks/ System 6.0.8 with 2MB of memory over a PPP connection!
Ok so it worked for about 30 minutes, the BBS was packed, all nodes busy! There was a multi user chat!
Then it just stopped responding. Oh well! I'll try again soon. =)
