Want help: Fold RunCPM Emulation into #FujiNet

[Want help: Fold RunCPM Emulation into #FujiNet]

Link to DT80.CAR?

I want to try this.

 

[(potentially dumb question) How to boot into Fujinet with U1MB installed?]

Could a method be provided where we could type FUJUNET -CONFIG /C or something like that to disable / enable Config boot from the Atari side?

Useful for SDX.

 

Example: -CONFIG to turn it off. +CONFIG to turn it on. /C for coldstart.

 

This would be useful for those who don't have a Windows / Mac / Linux machine.

Yes. Those users exist.

 

[#FujiNet Hardware Discussion]

What is the maximum capacity of SD card? I have a 64G in mine and it can't see it.

 

[It's possible to write a BBS using N:, does anyone care?]

@_The Doctor__ This isn't about the 850. It is about packets vs concurrent mode.

 

I would welcome a BBS based on the N: device. It has been too long since I have coded, and I have the store now, so not much time available.

If anyone wants to take this on, I'll test it on my Incognito [WHEN I get video fixed].

 

[Asking for Basic++ beta testing]

:)

 

[CONFIG Improvements?]

Does it really take up too much space in the device, or is the Atari too low on RAM to view a text file catalog of disks so I know which one to mount as D1:?

Config sounds like the perfect place for it. I need to read the file so I know which disk to mount.

There are readme's in the homesoft game collection? Must be on the disks side, as I use the individual xex files lots, and don't see them there.

What would be a use case for doing it in config? README?

-Thom

It would be very helpful when using the Homesoft game collection.

 

[Running a BBS in CP/M (BYE and LISTEN)]

That's great. I love the speed. Now, about the memory... I suspect I already know the answer, but: Is Z380 with some RAM out of the question?

Wishful thinking...

:)

 

[R: driving loading with U1M]

It should be RHND850, IIRC.

why would you need to use a t: device, fuji could just drop the file on the sd card or slot/storage place and the BBS could just read the file in...

It could, but wouldn't T: be nice? Nobody uses it anymore. Let 1030 Express work again. [And so much more possibilities].

 

[It's possible to write a BBS using N:, does anyone care?]

This would be AWESOME. Could BBS Pro! modules work, or do we need to write a whole new system.

Thanks for your input.

 

[CONFIG Improvements?]

An interface to the old non used T: device could be redirected to a RasPi device on the network running Telegram. A module to link Telegram to BBS Express Pro would be possible and wonderful.

 

 

[CONFIG Improvements?]

V: devices are reserved for the Votrax speech chip, per Atari 14x0XL(D) specifications.

Please do not use for other things. It will create an incompatibility.

 

[Aide - The Absolute Disk Editor by Roklan, found and released!]

I'll try to look at this Sunday if I have any time [is hard to find].

 

[CONFIG Improvements?]

If this can be done using SIO commands, then it should be easy to script in SDX with POKE commands to the DCB followed by RUN $E459.

I see a huge conspiracy around the corner. 😎

Instead of making fun of me, why don't you look into the problem and help fix it?

 

[S.A.M Question]

Stock (2 chip) 1200XL OS doesn't seem to work.

I did exactly this...

 

Loaded DOS 2.5 w/ a BXL cart in a 1200XL. Only mod to 1200XL is bypassing the evil SIO resistor. FujiNet has full power.

 

BASIC XL version 1.03  (c) 1983, OSS

Ready

OPEN #1,8,0,"P4:"

 

Ready

?#1;"HELLO. I AM SAM."

 

Like Schultz, I hear NOTHING but a quick SIO transaction and I see a blink on the orange light.

 

Since CIO/SIO worked w/o error, could be the firmware? I updated it a few days ago.

 

[GSX]

OK. Make a card in 800 form factor that has a PBI port right inline w/ Incog's port. Use slot for stability and power if needed.

For XL users all you need is a case and possible power supply for it. Just have a PBI ribbon cable coming out of the case.

 

It can work both ways.

 

Edit: and put a daisy chain PBI port on the back of the card as well for future devices.

 

[#FujiNet Testing and Bug Reporting Thread]

Shit! Now we know the pins aren't long enough.

 

Edit: I mentioned this before and was discredited, BTW.

 

[#FujiNet Testing and Bug Reporting Thread]

Belt sander time.  Hold the SIO port FLAT w/ the belt and remove 3/16 to 1/8". Trim off the burrs w/ a small pocket knife.

 

[Problems booting software? Post here.]

I'll see what I can do. I don't have a Win 10 machine anywhere near the Atari. I'll try to boot WinPE and see if I can capture an image or text file for you.

 

[Want help: Fold RunCPM Emulation into #FujiNet]

@tschak909 I am very forgetful. Sorry if I ask more than once. I am a scatterbrain. I don't mean to offend you. I hook it it up to a 1200XL w/ SIO resistor fix ONLY. Rest is stock.

I get Fortress to boot from TNFS server Ras Pi. 64GB card. Direct cable plug in to WRT1900AC.

I used a Win 10 machine to D/L the latest firmware. It looked like it worked.

I still can not boot MOST things I try.

This thing really SUX at this point.

 

I KNOW it can be better.

 

Fortress will not boot again.

 

Very un-reliable at this point. NOT at all being negative, just Reporting.

 

[GSX]

I want an 800 card.

:)

 

[Want help: Fold RunCPM Emulation into #FujiNet]

@tschak909This is beautiful. I love WordStar. My question is (and I may have asked b4 [I am VERY forgetful]): Can I print from WordStar (or an Atari program) to a normal Windows network printer DIRECTLY w/o using .pdf?

Example hp OfficeJet Pro 7740

I hope this can be done. Just set a default printer on your network and change if necessary.

That would be great.
