    On Feb 17 2024, Atari 800 designer Joe Decuir and I did a deep dive talk together at @VCFSoCal on how engineering decisions made 40 years ago, allowed #FujiNet to work perfectly today on the #Atari8bit. It was an honor to share the stage with him.

    not sure if you were being funny. I don't think that would work very well -Thom

    All the bits and pieces are there, e.g. the Lobby shows how arbitrary programs can be mounted and run: https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-apps/blob/master/lobby/atari/src/main.c#L529 This works by sending commands to the Fuji device to mount an image to device slot 1, and rebooting. The main thing to work out is the UI. Which, given the wild array of possible graphics modes, combinations of display list craziness, etc, maybe doing something like Total Replay might be sane? -Thom

    The fine folks at @ZeroPageHomeBre showed the first working breaths of the #FujiNet for the #Atari2600, which extends #PlusCart with powerful networking. Shown here playing #FujiNet 5-card-stud from the Game lobby! #retrogaming #retrocomputing



    (yup, that's right fellas, cooperative cross-platform networking and gaming, even on the Atari 2600!)

      Networking with the Atari 2600... wow!

    Well, it's funny you should mention that. This thread got us talking with Oliver Schmidt of the a2pico project, and we think we may have a path forward. -Thom

    Hey! Oh man. So... I was able to test the printer by writing software that explicitly printed to the smartport printer device. And Jeff Mazur was able to make a replacement //c ROM that redirected slot 1 accesses ($C10x) to the smartport printer device, but it needs more work. Supporting this well needs the work of people much more versed than me in Apple // arcana. This, along with the smartport modem is a case of running out of bridge--mid bridge. Apple never anticipated this. -Thom

    oh cool, i'll download em! Thanks! -Thom

    The reason #FujiNet exists, is to bring the #retrocomputing and #retrogaming communities together; to get everyone to leave their respective corners and try to create something new, in the middle, together.

    This is precisely why I made the docker image. -Thom

    For anyone who hacks in MAD Pascal, could you please help me, and take the PASCAL section in part 2, and convert the example programs to build in MAD Pascal? (Optionally cut and paste and adjust the content in the other parts to match?) it's intended to be a Rosetta Stone to show the same examples and pattern for every language. -Thom

    It feels like everything I post, even explicit calls to help with #FujiNet documentation, just goes into a void, with maybe a like, which feels like "Gosh, he's working so hard, it's pointless, but just look at him go." ... sigh.

      This post reminds me of a comic in which a pug is doing human things (including being at an office and and having his soul sucked out and stuff) being called cute. I can't remember which specific artist drew that, but it seems relevant now.

      I do actually wish I could do something to help with your project though.

    I need a command I can run as part of an automated backup batch file. Did someone write a recursive copy function for SpartaDOS 3.x? or am I gonna have to slam one together? -Thom
