You should not have any trouble finding Rainbow software to make
available on your bbs.   Check the DEC bbs's you see here for
Rainbow sections and gather what you need.   If you can't find
such material, send me netmail to 1:129/26 and maybe I can help.

Yep they sure do have the files.bbs listing.

See if you can locate someone local that can read HD disks.  Copying
that many files to low density would be a bit much at this time.

Later...

Frank -- I have version 3.0 which, the docs say, runs under the "final
release of DOS 3.10".  If you can't find anything better than
3.0, let me know; I'll send it over.

Subject:  DOS?

  Well, I finally got the keyboard for the 100B that has been sitting
in my closet!  I was so excited about pluggin it in & gettin past the
keyboard error msg.  Now the next thing I gotta get past is that
nasty missing command.com msg!  I also tried booting off of cp/m
& I got a missing sys msg.  Does anyone have an extra copy of DOS out
there that they are willing to part with?  I got a special deal on
this thing & now I want to see what it can do.

Also, because I'm just an IBM type user, any advice on usin this
thing would be greatly appreciated.  I'm considering the possibility
of setting up a BBS on it.  Can a different size hard drive go in it?
10 megs is a little confining.
Later.

I have MicroEmacs 3.10 here that can be built for the Rainbow.

Thanks, Bill, but I already have 3.0 and find that it won't work under
DOS 3.10b. Recently had to reformat my RD53 and had to run it
under 3.10.016.

Don, what format of tape do you use? if it's dc-2000 "mini" 40 meg
tapes, would it be possible to send you a tape to get a copy of
your rainbow stuff for our library here in the seattle area for D:bug
??

I assume you only have the harddisk.  You should get DOS 3.1B and
latest Codeblue if want to make much use of the system.  3.1
for large disk (2.11-1 ok for disk upto 20 meg [note "-1" of
2.11 has fix to disk loader] and Codeblue for RB to IBM text
file running.

 BR> Can a different size hard drive go in it?
 BR> 10 megs is a little confining.

Some of the Seagate drives work well 10,20,40,80 meg (only 67 on rb).
The 80 is the ST-4096.  Can get some other number that work if needed.

Thanks, George. Josh Gray uploaded it to the Silver Bullet, so I won't
have to go through the FTP process. So it's available here
under the same filename for download or file request.

My HST modem is back in operation after a trip to USR, so it can be
obtained from here pretty economically by similarly equipped
boards. Only about 98K. And I confirmed that it DOES work OK
under DOS 3.10b.
