That's too bad about the system.  I'm running mine in 'semi-modern' hardware under DOS sessions in Windows XP.  So far so good.  Cisco ASA and Exodus's RGBB utility for the win keeping the bot attacks down. lol
 
I have a 40MB tape here with a full backup of my original RA BBS and file base from around 1992 or 1993, but noway to restore it (or even tell if its still viable).  Nostalgic fun. :)
