Goochman Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Just wondering if the Fujinet works on an original Atari 800? I hve a v1.6 FN which works great on my 130XE, however I plugged it into my 800 and it went to the Memopad. WHen I turn my 800 on the light on the FN only slightly illuminates before turning off while Memopad comes up. Once the 800 is fully running the FN light is fully lit. Almost seems like my 800 cant boot the FN. Just curious if Im missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DjayBee Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Most probably the FujiNet boots slower than your 800 expects it to. Do the tape-trick: Press Start when the 800 makes its coldstart like booting from a tape. It will then wait for you to start the tape. (Obviously) don't start any tape but wait a moment and press Reset again; this time without pressing Start. It should go through another coldstart but this time the FujiNet will be ready. IIRC there was a recent change to firmware making the FN boot faster. Therefore if the above worked for you, try a firmware update and see if this fixes your problem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzwald Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 @Goochman you can follow the instructions above or power the FujiNet with a USB cable so that it is ready when the Atari boots. There are changes in the code to make Fujinet bootup faster but they are not available in a firmware update yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beqelessen Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 How much RAM do you have in your 800? You need a minimum of 24k. See "What systems are supported?" https://fujinet.online/what-is-fujinet/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
