I know there is some ill feelings toward Carina, and hoping someone may know this answer. I wanted to see one to remember one from the past. Not knowing a currently running Carina board to checkout (edit, found 2), I thought I would try to set one up myself. I struggled with this for a few hours over a few days, late at night and tired, so that may have something to do with it.
I got three 16MB SpartaDOS ATRs setup, and this may be my issue in that I am trying to do it under emulation, but I get through most of the setup fine, then after defining the config for the 1st message base which is supposed to be for intra-system mail, it goes into a repeating cycle without completing.
This happens right after it says programming modem (it flips between a few screens and comes back here, rinse and repeat). I did try changing the modem init string to just AT, thinking that it was something with the emulator. I've only tried with Atari800MacX. I was thinking about putting them on the FN and trying that, but not sure if that will work with 3 ATRs.
So ATR1 is the boot ATR and has all DOS and all the Carina files. ATR2 I was setting up as the message bases drive. ATR3 I was setting up as the files drive.
Here is where it is stuck:
Thoughts?
thanks. Only difference is port 5150 vs 6502 and you have firewall off. i suspect its the firewall, and will check it out again this weekend.
I downloaded the image from here. Got it to boot OK. Couldn't get it to answer though. I had A8MX set for port 6502, and the application set to allowed to get incoming connections in security. Trying to connect locally over the port did nothing. Ran out of time, and haven't gotten back yet.
Probably something not config'd right on my end.
@Ripjetski How's your Carina 2 BBS coming along?
@John Polka Hey JP, what's the possibility of writing BUSYBBS for Mac?
Well, well, well. Finally I got a Carina 2 that works with Atari800MacX!! All this time I've been using Altirra (not too fond of it). How long has this version been out?
Hey Wade - Here is a short video of the test just completed.. The file is on the download page here Noted as OS for Atari800MacX - I did leave the set up as 3 ATR's noted for each drive. Can't seem to locate the version I compressed to a single ATR but you can always change this yourself as well.. Anyway, working version available for your enjoyment :) with all the credit to BF2K+ BBS on a Stick!
Hey Wade, We have a couple Carina BBS’s working. I have a version set up for Atari800MacX on a single 16MB ATR built from the BBS on a Stick Version from BF2K+
Understanding you are enjoying the build, have a look at this set up as it should help with the issue you are encountering in the waitcall routine.. Pretty much the standard issue on these old girls…
Ill drop and file under downloads here shortly..
I know when I was thinking about moving my boards to a pi, atari800 seemed to have some issues. Mostly with r: handler things but it may have had some other issues I don’t really remember.
Have you tried to use alitirra in a vm or a wine container?
