Keven Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) I'm hoping someone can guide with a couple issues. I have FN configured and Wi-Fi doing its thing. The steps I’m taking are going to a host to download a Program/file. For example, I go to tnfs.fujinet.systems, go to utilities, then miscellaneous, then Calendar. So, I download that, put into slot 1 for example, W for read/ write, then do I esc then reboot? Or reboot first? Once is works; how can I go back to use the Calendar again? Can I write to the Calendar and save? I'm retired and a newbie to all this. I'm using an Atari 800. Thanks for any help!

tschak909 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Hi! When you put a disk image into a device slot, you are using the disk directly from the network. If you put a disk into device slot 1, you will see it as D1: If you load from a public TNFS server, you should do so read-only. Once you've selected a disk image, and put it in device slot 1, it will bring you back to the Hosts and Devices screen, and you can press OPTION to boot. -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keven Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 Thanks Thom! To the left of slot 1, it shows 5 then 1 R. Can I write with other servers? I'm looking to use a Calendar. If, for example I put into slot 1 and write to it, will it save? and how would I get back to the saved Calendar daily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 If the program allows you to use drives other than 1 to save to: * Select calendar into slot 1 * select your SD card slot and make a [N]ew disk image. Put it in slot 2. This becomes D2: * boot. Then whenever you wish to use the calendar, put the slots back in this manner. -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keven Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 Just so I can learn, I put Visicalc into slot 1, went to SD, hit new, and put in what it says, /Spreadsheets/Visicalc 1.74a.atr for slot 2. It shows error. Am I doing this wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 When you use [N]ew, it will create a new disk image on the host slot that you are currently viewing. You won't be able to do this on a public TNFS server, because everything should be marked read-only. You should either use [N]ew on your own TNFS server, or using the SD host slot so it goes on your SD card. The name you type in [N]ew becomes the new disk image, so use something like VisiCalc Work.atr -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
