Been there, and done that before. I setup my own MediaWiki site over a
year ago, and ran into the same configuration issues. If you can use my
help with things, I'm more than happy to help out, just let me know. (I
have over 10 years of experience with Linux, and over 8 years of
experience with administrating internet services)

Yes. Sorta. I only used 2 bits. I'll make a new post to the list with
the details, since most people wouldn't look in a CoCoWiki thread for
hardware hacks.

Its been so long, I've forgotten what exactly happened with my StG
system. I remember my 70 meg hard drive with all my coco os-9 stuff on
it died, and I lost everything. When that happened, I basicly quit
running the coco, and put all my efforts into OSK.

That looks like the '94 or maybe '95 Atlanta cocofest.
