576+ NUC with AVG Cart and Fujinet

[Thayer]

Hi, quick question here, I searched but could find nothing I am sure it is simple.

 

I have a NUC with AVG Cart and FujiNet and everything works great on it's own but when the AVG is inserted how do I then access the Fujinet? What I have been doing is unplugging the AVG before turning the system on when I want to use the Fujinet but I am sure there is a better way - what am I missing exactly?

 

Note I am new to this and haven't used the AVG too much I know how to get into DOS or load disk image but can't see how to get into the FujiNet menu. Thanks in advance for any help.

They might both be inserting a handler of some kind if using cart only without it's SIO cord, If you are using the SIO cord then they should be able to co exist so long as you don't enable/load a drive slot on both at the same time.

You can manage some of the Fujinet functions from the web UI, using the Fujinet IP address from another machine over the LAN. However AVG as a cartridge will always boots first so the Fujinet cannot be managed from the Atari while it is in place.

 

I need to experiment with this further myself.

Just checked that both the UNO Cart and Ultimate Cart play well with the Fujinet.

 

1)  The Ultimate/UNO boots first, you select cartridge or press "X" to bypass the cart

2)  The Fujinet then boots normal and full screen functionality

3)  Select disk image in Fujinet menu as normal.

 

The Fujinet operates 100% normal and doesn't even know the UNO/Ultimate cart is even there, but the UNO/Ultimate is allowed to run first and function simultaneously in harmony with Fujinet.

I know that @Mr Robot the creator of the Cart Daughter Board for the 576NUC+ specifically equipped it to fully use an AVG Cart, so perhaps he can chime in on the particularities with using the AVG in conjunction with FujiNet on this system.

[Mr Robot]

When you turn the NUC on it boots to the AVGcart, hit Shift+ESC and it exits the cart and boots the Fujinet.

 

I don't know if you can mount some software on the AVG and some on the Fujinet at the same time, the cart addon has the SIO cable built in so I tend to use the AVG for all software loading and the Fujinet as a wi-fi modem and printer.

Thanks everyone for the replies to this topic. I will definitely try that when I am home - I am sure it will work. Thanks again!

just a small correction, it's shift-esc since fw 0024
