The single-core RPis are not supported though, IMO, they don't have eno memory or oomph.
Surprising, seeing as I'm running my BBS on XP and a single core Celeron wih 512 MB RAM. :)

yes but even your single core xp machine with 512 of ram is about 500 times more powerful then an A.R.M. processor, no contest....

And, I'd take a RPi over an XP machine with 512MB of RAM any day. Especially, a single-core machine. When 1GB of RAM became cheap enough, it was a god send for XP.

I'm running MicroXP on it, with most extraneous stuff removed it idles
in about 100 megs of RAM. I've had to replace the CPU fan, and have another one as a standby as Socket 478 fans are getting hard to come
by. If my RAM goes bad, I'll have a devil of a time finding PC 100 RAM
to use in it. I'm going to put an oddball PATA SSD drive I found online into it and see how that improves things.
Mostly just to see how long this thing will last.
My older raspi is hard to beat when it comes to sipping power. My raspi3 is just difficult to beat, both as power sipping (c64 style) and quad core power. Will it last as long as an older desktop ... only time will tell. :)
Poindexter, I may have some of that ram laying around. how many pins?
It's the old style SDRAM, not sure of the number of pins. It'd be labeled 256MB PC100.
Poindexter Fortran wrote to Bbsing <=-I've had that issue with the sd card dyiing about 9GB in. I was writing an uptime log every 30 seconds or so and I ran the system for a couple years. Really I think the card was defective but luckily I had a long warranty on it. Sandisk. So since the SD card is about 2 times the cost of a usb disk I decided I'll just use the SD card as a boot disk. I got a 128GB Sandisk micro usb for around $30 or maybe it was more I can't remember.

The only area I'd be worried about is MTBF on a SD card being used as primary storage, but even then replacement is easy.

168 pins, IIRC. PC-133 may be more readily available, and will most likely work in lieu of PC-100.before i moved i was a massive hoarder, but i ended up sending those
I totally get the worry you have and I have it with spinner disks as well. Its inescapable and newer hardware spinner drives and SSD drives really perform well but don't last as long as older drives. I've had to assist
