	The ALL RAM BBS was a cassette based bulletin board system by Allen C. Huffman, created in 1983 and "almost" marketed by a major CoCo software company. It allowed a userlog and small message base to be stored in memory, then saved to cassette tape when the BBS was shut down. It was written out of frustration after seeing all the BBS ads in Rainbow magazine claim they needed "2-4 disk drives" to operate.

It was written out of frustration after seeing all the BBS ads in Rainbow magazine claim they needed "2-4 disk drives" to operate.

	An unreleased disk version was created, which loaded and saved the message bases to disk on demand, allowing a one disk drive CoCo to support dozens of message boards. Since each message base only took as much space as the messages inside of it, there could be as many as a hundred message boards on a singly floppy (though substantially less if every message was filled using every possible character allowed on each line).
