Zeus BBS is for the Amiga computers, and they don't have a stupid 8.3
filename restriction. The Arexx script it's self is zbbslister.zeus so even more way out from stupid DOS.

What model did you get? They won't work with a current LCD screen, unless
you have a "Scan Boubler/Flcker Fixer", or a screen that can do 15khz for
the Amiga's native video modes.

thanks!

i don't bother with lcds, i'm using proper CRT monitors for my retro rigs :)

anyways my plan is to make an amiga bbs from this machine, but as i read on the
net it is not powerful enough to run a bbs. is that true? do you have any recommendation what should i get? i am a bit confused with all these different types of rams as well.. :)

The same rules still apply. Unless you got a compatable CRT.

What model Amiga do yo have? That is going to be how much you have to expand the system to get it online. Any Amiga can run BBS software, but what you
have will limit what can be done.

That's a easy one! #0)

Chip/Graphics Ram:
All the custom chip's and the CPU have access. The amount of chip ram
depends on the model of Amiga. Ie: Amiga 500 generally had 512K/1Mb of chip
ram. The Amiga 2000, generally has 1Mb of Chip ram, unless a 2mb Angus chip
was installed. The Amiga 3000/4000/1200 have 2mb of chip ram as standard.

Fast Ram:
Only the CPU has access to this ram. With more fast ram, more programs
can be run.

i have a commodore 1902, i assume its compatible.

ok thanks, it was one of the best explanations i have read so far :)

Hi Daniel,

The Commodore 1902 and 1902A were primarily designed for the Commodore
64/128 and Commodore PC series, and NOT for the Amiga series! They looked identicle to the Commodore 1084 and Amiga 1080/2002 monitors respectfully.
But they were cheaper. In the beginning commodore used the same circuitry as the Amiga series monitors, so you could actually use the monitors with the Amiga in Analog RGB mode! for much cheaper! So which monitors do you think consumers bought for their Amigas? But Commodore soon caught on to this and crippled the monitors!! So with that said, the majority of those monitors will not work with the Amiga. Some actually have the Analog RGB switch on the back, and some do not. But the only way to see if it will work is to try them with
an Amiga.

but what you have will limit what can be done.

That is going to limit you in what you can do... The best option will be to
get a Pistorm for the A500.

PiStorm is an adapter which uses a Raspberry Pi to provide a CPU accelerator (68040), RTG graphics card with high resolution modes through HDMI,
hard disk interface (23MB/s), Wifi, Fast Ram (1G Pi, will give about 800Mb
of fast ram, a 2gb pi will give about 1.5-1.8Gb of fast ram.) It has been designed to be installed inside Amiga 500/500+, or Amiga 2000.

https://amigastore.eu/853-pistorm.html

I have a Pistorm32lite in my A1200, and it's a great bit of hardware.
