• Moved our BBS to a Pi 5 with an PCIe SSD POE hat

    So we moved our bbs to a new Pi 5. It has a fancy new hat that supports POE and a PCIe SSD. Goodbye old crapy mirco SD's!

    Good deal. What is POE - Power on Ethernet?

    Yes. The hat I got is a Power Over Ethernet that supports an M.2 SSD. Very cool hat.

    Just using a standard M.2 PCIe gen 3 ssd. Its way to fast for the PCIe bus
    on a PI 5 but that's no issue for me. Even with the slow Pi PCIe bus its
    about 10 times faster over using an sd card.

    The Pi runs the mystic bbs, my little retro computer website and it hosts a public TNFS server for folks with a FujiNet device.

    Oh! Nice! I'll have to add your server to my list of TNFS servers. :)

    Btw, if you're on a FujiNet with an Atari 8bit, my BBS is accessible with full ATASCII support. Didn't know there were other Atari people on here.

    Thanks! Always looking for more traffic hitting our tnfs site.

    My BBS is a little new to the whole fsxnet thing, so I am also a little new
    but happy to be here ;)

    Just checked it out! You've got a ton of stuff on it. Awesome! Hopefully I'll have more time this week to do some more digging.

    Yes. The hat I got is a Power Over Ethernet that supports an M.2 SSD. Very cool hat.

    This hat allows the regular/normal ethernet port on the Pi to support PoE? Crazy!

    Yes. It works very well. I must have for anyone with a switch that does
    PoE. Here is the Amazon listing:

    That's really cool. I already have some cheapie PoE to 5v USB adapters, but I'm keeping that bookmarked for when I need that faster storage too :).
