tschak909 #1 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 @ [email protected] 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkO #2 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tschak909 #5 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tschak909 #7 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
