![]() ![]() Standard PCs then and today have only one or two (if any) serial ports (COM ports), which are needed to connect an external modem to a computer. Windows 95 was never officially supported by CDC. Stability was critical for a BBS, which was usually running 24/7, and the early version of the Microsoft 32-bit operating system lacked it. Some sysops tried to run PCBoard on the (then) new Windows 95 operating system by Microsoft and reported mixed results. PCBoard supported the 16C550 UARTs ( universal asynchronous receiver transmitter), such as 16550 UART ("Fifo"), 16554 UART and 16650 UART, which made it possible to run multiple nodes of the BBS on a single ( multitasking) computer using either using IBM OS/2 or the DOS multitasking tool DESQview in combination with the memory manager QEMM. There were also a few tools available for PCBoard, which were specifically developed for the OS/2 2.0 and OS/2 Warp operating system. Most PCB sales were of two-line licenses additional line licenses (in ranges of 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 2) were also available.Ī native 32-bit IBM OS/2 version became also available with PCB V15.22 and higher. Like many BBS companies, the rise of the Internet starting around 1994 led to serious downturns in fortunes, and Clark Development went bankrupt in 1997. ![]() PCBoard was one of the first commercial BBS packages for DOS systems, and was considered one of the "high end" packages during the rapid expansion of BBS systems in the early 1990s. Clark Development was founded by Fred Clark. last used Windows 95 and have been on Linux for the last 25 years!! I'm actually liking Win11, but some of these oddities - that I didn't manually insert myself - are annoying.PCBoard (PCB) was a bulletin board system (BBS) application first introduced for DOS in 1983 by Clark Development Company. I can close it and the app doesn't change and still functions just fine - but why is Windows opening this terminal now when SyncTERM opens? Now when I open the application, a terminal opens with it - the terminal is blank, just a black screen and I can see that the contents - or title anyway - is:Ĭ:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\Taskbar\SyncTERM.lnkĪlso, earlier I swear that link was a bit different - still in the appdata\roaming, but not an internet explorer dir. I then copied over a directory listing from a Linux machine, and edited it to contain the correct upload/download directory entries for windows. When I first installed it, it opened without issue. I installed a terminal application called Syncterm. Need help with a post? Have a question about a removal? Let us know!
