That        RF> way you get to use your old machinery without having to buy more        RF> floppies.              I use floppy emulators on a lot of my retro kit. Recently I've even started       using optical drive emulators and removing old broken CD-ROMs. This is mainly       for game consoles but I'm sure we'll see something similar for PCs and the       like before long.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A49 2023/02/26 (Linux/64)        * Origin: m O N T E R E Y b B S . c O M (1:218/820)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 15/0 18/200 90/1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201       SEEN-BY: 123/131 129/305 153/7715 154/10 214/22 218/0 1 215 700 810       SEEN-BY: 218/820 840 850 860 870 880 900 920 930 226/30 227/114 229/110       SEEN-BY: 229/112 113 206 275 307 317 400 426 428 452 470 664 700 266/512       SEEN-BY: 282/1038 291/111 292/854 301/1 305/3 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 5075/35       PATH: 218/820 700 229/426           |
