toddtmw Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Got my #FujiNet last week. Today, I set up my Incognito 800 and plugged it into it. It's amazing! Really exactly what the Atari needed. This really changes how you can use your computer. Very impressive! Thanks for working so hard to make such an amazing addition. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 @Fred Olivas and others connecting via BBSes, this is a manual dial to a host: WIN_20201022_17_04_47_Pro.mp4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Olivas Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Thank you for the self explainatory video. However you are making key presses and I don't know which keys are being pressed. But something weird has just happened to my FujiNet: The top menu selection has an item that states, "Fujinet.atari8bit.net" that I select to get to the COMMS software. After viewing this video I turned on my Atari and selected said entry and I only got a load of "Mr Robert and His Factory" all the way down the page. Was it something on your end that caused this. BTW I flashed my FujiNet device yesterday and it seemed to be working just fine. So to recap; Still can't get onto any BBS and now the menu structure is haywire. Thanks, Fred Olivas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 @Fred Olivas I can only help so far, it's clear that you're glossing over things (and that tends to really shorten my patience), watch my video, and do what I am doing. -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that when selecting on the upper menu, it went to an online site. Amazing! I am very impressed with FujiNet and all of it's possibilities. Am very new to this and quite enthusiastic. I didn't mean to irk the gentleman above. That was not my intention. I have asked on many other sites where I can get guidance and info on using FujiNet successfully. Not one person has suggested a "start here" site which tells me that it's so new, no one has offered any type of manual. The only exception is Thom Cherryhomes with his in depth YouTube videos, which is where I first heard of this amazing device. I've replicated his moves exactly as he presented them in regards to getting into a BBS and I've failed each and every time. It just doesn't work for me and I don't know why and I don't know how to get help. That is my situation. Otherwise I pretty much love FujiNet and wish to continue to learn how to use it even if it's just me and those willing to impart their wisdom upon me. Long live Atari, Fred Olivas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top menu is for known sites. One of those sites, if you name it SD, will look at the SD card in your Fujinet, all the rest will be online sites. Fujinet.Online is @mozzwalds, atari-apps.irata.online is @tschak909s fujinet.atari8bit.net is mine, Fujinet.pl is @bocianus and the newest one to arrive is langesite.com which belongs to @Bill Lange more will start popping up as more people get Fujinets. My server is back online now, it looks like I need to write something to sort out my stats page, I can't rely on the logfiles, they don't last long enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manterola Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Maybe a Discord new to FujiNet "channel" might help us to provide support and feedback and share experiences with FujiNet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I was just thinking it's about time Fujinet got its own subforum, especially if RespeQT can have one, there is far more chatter for Fujinet now. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DrVenkman Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Well, has anyone reached out to @Albert or another forum moderator to ask about it? That’s probably the next step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I only suggested it 3 hours ago! I thought I'd leave it for a couple of days to see how popular the idea is and if it seems like a wanted thing I was going to ask @Albert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozzwald Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 New firmware build available at fujinet.online. Notable changes include Joystick support in fnCONFIG Initial cassette support for CSAVE & CLOAD. 'test.cas' must be on SD card and tape can be turned on/off with Button B. Requires 10K pull down on FujiNet v1.0. All first batch FujiNets from fujinet.online do NOT have this resistor. Other vendors boards should have them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it is helpful to some. Hi there. Just saw your video which I sorely needed for us enthusiastic newbies. Two things I need to point out that didn't work on my FujuNet. 1. Tried to create a New disk in empty drive slot. There is no [N]ew button anywhere to be found on any screen within the FujiNet device. I updated the firmware yesterday so perhaps this option was removed. 2. I own and use an SDive Max but when plugged into the SIO port on the back of FujjNet, it never boots. Curious. One last request: Can you make a video on how to log into a BBS? I like to learn how. I've tried to after viewing several other videos but critical steps were ommitted (implied?) as I could hear key clicks but what was being pressed was never mentioned so it never worked.

Fierodoug5 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I tried my sdrive max, I had to switch the fujinet off, then the sdrive worked as normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 If you put a bootable disk in SDM D1 and nothing in FN D1 you shouldn't need to switch off the fujinet it should just boot from the SDM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manterola Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 The same happen to me, but with a speedy 1050 drive. I get boot errors, but if I turn FujiNet off the 1050 boots. I'll do more experiments, I don't know why but I suspects it is something to do with high speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 #Atari8bit #FujiNet I am spending part of today updating the fnc-tools.atr, and all of the DOS disks in the FujiNet-sd-card repo to have the last known working NDEV.COM N: device handler. There will also be RDEV.COM for R:, and APETIME.COM for the NTP support. This will hopefully hold people over until I finish re-writing the N: device. -Thom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreddieBear Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Yes I switched FujiNet device off, loaded D1 on SDM, turned on Atari and it goes directly to the green SELF TEST screen. Switched on FujiNet and it does it's normal thing completely ignoring the SDriveNax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8guy Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Just a random thought, are you using an SDM that doesn't play nice with other things on the SIO chain? or does yours have the mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
