Does anyone remember if there were any BBS systems back in the day that
would scan any uploaded files for viruses before saving them in the files
section?
Replies copied to me directly would be appreciated.
Anyone coming up with a solid example wins a prize.

OSOIC. Then its not a venue by which say Procomm can
be made to work on a Tandy 2000. Maybe terminologies
got mixed up.

I have managed to get some pics onto my
website. Please forgive the quality, but they
have been taken using my Dreameye (Sega
Dreamcast digital camera) which uses 8 years
old technology. Still not bad though, eh? :)

So, is it a "dongle" then?

Hi, I'm responding to this old thread about the Sanyo LaT-200a because I have here a Running Sanyo SAT-250A /X286. This board is located inside a Sanyo LT17 Laptop (or something that once was) and is running perfectl with an AMD 80286, 640k conv and 384k upper.
If anyone still reads this and might be interested or just want's more information, you can contact me at stijnbagin at hotmail.com
Only trouble is that it has some sort of 50-pins connection harddrive setup (i have been thinking SCSI) directly on the mainboard from which I can make heads nor tails.
I want to hook up a standard 40 pins IDE drive, but I'm not sure how to proceed without a datasheet on the specific connector... The Bios knows all 47 standard HD layouts and a 3,5 inch floppy drive is already in place... I also succeeded to remove the old monochrome LCD display and the huge controllercard and replace it with a smooth standard ISA 16-bit full color Headland Technology's Video 7 board. The only thing remaining is this Harddrive problem... who helps... ?
I must also mention that standard the 50 pins connector was relayed onto a "SMS"<brand> controllercard which converted the 50 pins into a managable 26 pins connector on which i can find even less information... The 3,5 inch harddrive took it's juice and information all from these 26 pins (the brand on this harddrive is also unknown on the net).... I'm hoping this controllercard is unimportant and that the 50 pins are the ones to proceed with...

Picture is at http://www.ezwind.net/jwest/1134.jpg
11/34A, 128kw, RL01, RL02, DSD440.
I still need to clean the side panels up, but it's assembled and up and
running RT11 :)
Back to that /44 I guess... just have to get working drives on it. Then
hopefully back to the /45.

Maybe $300 for a Compaticard isn't so silly. Just search on eBay for
"PS3". Yikes! And even more surprising because in a year, we'll be
flooded with the things.
Reminds me of Beanie Babies.
Cheers,

You might be thinking of Will Kranz's TU-58 emulator. I use it all the time while testing my collection of LSI PDP-11s.
http://www.fpns.net/willy/pdp11/tu58-emu.htm
Since it's going through a serial port, it's not particularly fast, but it does work well if you have the time. I've imaged several dozen RL01 (5MB) and RL02 (10MB) disk cartridges, along with a horde of RX01 and RX02 floppies.
