| The MajorBBS was a DOS Bulletin Board Software (BBS) written by Timothy Striker in 1986. Tim had previously written several multi user gaming systems and used his experience to create both the Galacticomm Software Breakthrough Library (GSBL) and Model 16 Modem Card. The GSBL was a set of x86 Assembler communication routines that helped facilitate the rapid development of multi user applications on the Model 16, which was a single ISA card that contained 16 1200 baud modems. Both were quite revolutionary and focused on using Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware at a time, when these types of multi user applications existed primarily on mainframes, mini's and mid's. | The MajorBBS was a DOS Bulletin Board Software (BBS) written by Timothy Striker in 1986.
