Yup, page 13 of the OPUS User Docs for OPUS v1.03b (I was re-reading them 
just last night out of nostalgia and a half-baked notion of putting my _old_ 
BBS back up):
                AT_class computer with Award BIOS
                72 Meg hard drive
                One each:
                        TeleBit Traiblazer modem (9600 bps)
                        U.S. Robotics HST modem (9600)
                Amdek 722 EGA Monitor
                PC DOS 3.3
                Mirror Sunglasses
                Nerf Bat
        
        That roughly describes Wynn's computer setup.  It is the only one 
that         carries any sort of assurances.  It is:
                -={  Opus will sometimes run on Wynn's computer  }=- 
Seems like some folks these days are forgetting about the Nerf Bat being 
standard, required equipment.
BTW, your name looks familar.  Were you once in Net 320 or 327?
