Message-ID: <1990Sep7.015701.6170@laguna.ccsf.caltech.edu> Date: 7 Sep 90 01:57:01 GMT References: Sender: news@laguna.ccsf.caltech.edu Organization: California Institute of Technology Lines: 17 If it will run on a Gen-yoo-ine Microsoft Softcard then I am VERY interested. I have an old ][+ that I used to hack to death but now that I have a GS it has been getting mighty lonely. I also am sick of how slow our campus news is and have often thought about starting a UUCP node to get my own news and mail. However, the Zilog System 8000 I lucked into (discarded by one of our labs when the bought some new suns) only lived long enough for us to change its name to endtable (it makes a great coffee table) before the hard drive went into a coma. Two other questions: what's the minimum disk space required by the software (would a 1 meg ramdisk suffice if I only received a few newsgropus and purged them daily?) and how does it operate, that is, does it have to stay up all the time or can I run it at night and use the ][+ during the day.
