tschak909 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I am nearing an initial alpha test release for PLATOTerm 64, and I need testers. You will need the following: * A Commodore 64, if you have a SuperCPU, let me know. * A way to load the D64 image. * One of the following connectivity devices: ** A WIFI (ESP8266) Modem attached via User port ** A WIFI (ESP8266) Modem attached via Swiftlink Cartridge ** An ethernet card supported by IP65, e.g. *** RRNet *** Wiznet If you are interested, please sign-up on the IRATA.ONLINE website, and either shoot me an email or talk to me on google IM @ thom.cherryhomes@gmail.com indicating that you want to test, and what your system configuration is, so I can make an appropriate disk image, for you. -Thom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) I have an SX-64 as well as a couple C64's with the 1541's.. And a C128 with a C1571... I am trying to locate my RS-232 Cart.. I have some ESP8266 devices that will connect up to the RS-232 Cart, once I find it... I don't have a NIC for the C64 yet, but planning on getting one... I have some version of the Super CPU for the C64, but I have not tested it yet... MarkO Edited June 13, 2018 by MarkO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tschak909 Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 With the implementation of flow control, I've cut an alpha release of PLATOTerm, it's here: http://github.com/tschak909/platoterm64/releases/ It does not have character set loading yet, so some things will still look a bit weird. It is HIGHLY recommended that you enable hardware handshaking (e.g. &K1 &P0) to improve reliability. More to come! -Thom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tschak909 Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 A public alpha release of PLATOTerm is available for Commodore 64 and Apple II users to connect to both http://www.irata.online/ and CYBER1.ORG. Download links available on site. Preliminary documentation for Apple II users is in the release notes. Commodore 64 users can use documentation linked in the previous pre-release. You will need a C64, or Apple II with appropriate serial port hardware and WI-FI modem. If you can, please test, and provide feedback!
