Woo-hoo! I found a javascript ANSI viewer: http://ansilove.github.io/ansilove.js/
I wish! I've been looking for them. Unless Dad has an old hard drive in the attic these are gone forever.
@jmjm @rogzilla71 @phooky I'm pretty sure I explicitly remember him getting rid of the AT&T 6300, which (among other reasons) is a shame because it's an actual museum piece now. mmmmaybe there's a box of floppies somewhere?
@jmjm @rogzilla71 @phooky Dad is here right now, and I asked him what happened to the 6300. Quoth the dad: "I threw it out." "What about the hard drive and floppies?" "I threw them out." "But wh--" "In the trash."
@jmjm @rogzilla71 @phooky There was an aura of finality about the "In the trash."
So. Time to make new ANSI art? There are some pretty badass BBSes around nowadays (for serious).
Pour one out for that AT&T 6300 with the upgraded NEC V30 (?) processor.

@rogzilla71 @jmjm @phooky It was an 8086 (or 8086 clone), just running at a higher clock speed (internet claims ~7MHz, I remember 10MHz for some reason). Apparently AT&T had very little to do with it other than the sales channel; it was a rebadged Olivetti M24.
They're on ebay, but even at $50 not really worth it:

@rogzilla71 @jmjm @phooky (I already have a half-working Osborne I on my conscience.)

OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THE BERNOULLI BOX! The 8" floppy drive that sounded like a jet engine!

I really need to find all of that ANSI art you guys made in the BBS days so I can respond to this properly.
