Hope it is helpful to some. The video is great.. However, I'd have to see the BBS part with more details (longer)... It is just so cool. Another great feature it is not highlighted enough is the Bluetooth connection (Thanks Marcin). For example. Imagine I am checking this forum with my Android smartphone, and then TIX posted a new version with new sprites, so I can immediately click the link, start sio2bt app, select the the xex I just downloaded and then I'd boot from it by activating the Bluetooth feature in Fujinet, and play the game in seconds in real Atari 8 bit hardware. No need to move it (yet) to the SD card, or the TNFS server. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Robot Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 esptool needs python 3.4 or newer and python 3.4 runs on xp Have you tried to get it working? I mean, you are the only one who wants it, so, it's pretty much up to you to get it working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+x=usr(1536) Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Wow. Just... Wow. I'm blown away. It's amazing to think that it's already been a year; it just doesn't seem that long. And being able to see something of an executive summary of Fujinet's featureset really helps to put just how much has been accomplished in perspective. Sure, I've been following the progress here and on YouTube, but having the big picture really helps to show what the device is capable of. All I know is that once these become available, I'm going to have to order at least one. And even then that's a weak 'at least'; a couple is sounding like a much better starting point.

tschak909 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 @x=usr(1536) you can already get them. Either from here: http://www.thebrewingacademy.com/ OR from here: http://fujinet.shop/ If you're in Europe, you can get them from @zaxon. -Thom 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+x=usr(1536) Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 @tschak909: thanks for that; I'd somehow managed to completely miss that they were on the market. Any plans for a version above 1.1? I don't have cold feet about jumping in, but would like to come in at whatever the 'final' hardware rev is for this version if at all possible.

tschak909 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) The hardware is stable, the next revision of the hardware basically adds a buffer for devices that don't play nice on the bus. To explain, unless you have a 1088XEL, don't worry about it. The hardware on this device is stable, all future magic comes through firmware upgrades. -Thom Edited October 12, 2020 by tschak909 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsom Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Mine is due to arrive tomorrow and I can’t wait! One question, came from watching Doug’s video. He says if another device is plugged in, ex. SIO2sd, sdrivemax, the FujiNet does not connect. Is it possible to have both running to copy files between the two? I suppose I could just copy between the SD cards but was curious. Again... can’t wait! btw, ordered from Gavin at Vintage Computer Center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can literally take the SD card from the Max, and put it in your FujiNet. -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Whichever of your devices has a bootable disk in the D1 slot will boot when you switch on. Example Put a DOS2.5 disk in Fujinet D1 Put a Blank Disk in SDrive-MAX D2 Put a Data disk in SIO2SD D3 Turn on... Now you can use the DOS booted on Fujinet to copy files from the SIO2SD on D3 to the Blank Disk on SDrive-MAX D2 If you are talking about full disk images it's probably easier to just copy the files from one SD card to the other on a PC but there is nothing stopping you from running a sector copier on the Fujinet D1 and using it to copy a disk in D2 on your SDrive to a blank disk in D3 on the Fujinet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsom Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Thanks guys, pretty much what I figured. and bonus... it was delivered today! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsom Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Getting this also forced me to finally get a Raspberry Pi I've had sitting up and running, so I can use it as a local TNFS server. Day off from work is turning out to be very productive! Now to figure out how to mount a volume from a new Synology NAS I just set up to host files. Have tons of space, may as well use it!

mickster Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 feature request: If possible a toggle at the bottom of the screen that would alllow basic to be disabled without having to hold down the option key. I don't know if this is not possible due to hardware limitations, but it would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 I decided to explicitly make the OPTION key boot, for this reason. If you needed to disable basic, you'd just keep holding it down through the cold start, basically because this is expected behavor, anyway. -Thom 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I would like to be able to send files back and forth between my Mac (Sierra) and my Fujinet. Has anybody done this yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) @Allan I have done this with the N: device. start a TNFS server on the mac, point at folder, you can then either use the n-handler or NCOPY on the fnc-tools disk to do N:TNFS://path/to/file,D1:FILE or vice versa. -Thom p.s. the N: device does have bugs a plenty, so that's why I am in the middle of a rewrite for it. But that's how it's supposed to be done. The N: device currently supports TNFS, FTP, and HTTP/S for protocols, with more coming. The fnc-tools disk contains both the n-handler (NDEV.COM) and the N* utilities for moving data to and from the N: device. I made the N* utilities for those cases where you couldn't use the handler (e.g. in DUP in DOS 2.0/2.5).
