Writing a PLATO terminal for IRATA.ONLINE for Amigas

[tschak909]

Hello, I'm the systems operator for http://www.irata.online/an on-line service for retro-computing enthusiasts.

As part of this service, it is possible to write terminals for this service, due to the unique protocol used.

I have attached a definition of the protocol used on port 8005 of this service, and there is example source code on the website (the pterm source), which can be used as a reference.

As I am currently working on the Android version of this terminal, I wanted to see if anyone else was interested in implementing a portal to a truly unique system and piece of preserved history?

Next IRATA.ONLINE meets are on Apr 21, and Apr 22, at 10am to 12pm CDT for both days. Google Meet links on http://www.irata.online/

 

I want to talk to Amiga programmers about making a terminal for this service, and this meet is a good place to do it.

Ok, I've now moved the meets to a self hosted service running on the same server as the main service:

https://meet.irata.online/demomeet This will be used starting with the demo meet, tomorrow.

 

Links on the website have been updated.

p.s. would really like to see some Amiga users.
