Copying files from my Fujinet to an 8” floppy as you do 🙂

@hkz here is a couple of projects out there:
Fujinet - I personally like this one with is ability to source the disk images over WiFi/Internet. Its open source. No through hole design yet for the Apple2, worth a look though.

And this one:

Here is a shot of the current menu you get on power on. And the accompanying flash utility disk to flash it in place

This is coming along nicely, it’s an updated version of the the Titan 3 plus 2 card for the Apple ///. It’s designed to attach as a daughter board to the main 3plus2e card. This then saves a slot that can be used for some cards. It also has a 128k flash rom with the emulation software modified to load on boot with a tweaked menu.

All playing the same networked game. Together.

More to come.

That's FujiNet.

I've put a gallery of photos I took during the INIT HELLO Apple II conference at the System Source Computer Museum this past weekend online for anyone who might like a look at some of the festivities.

What a wonderful time it was! Can't wait for next year!

Two-players #Shufflepuck news: I've cleaned up and abstracted the serial code from the two-players code, and put an effort into describing things, so I've opened issues to point out that if someone were to implement it, Shufflepuck could get #Uthernet and/or #Fujinet support.

It's just a matter of four callbacks (and the actual driver).

See https://github.com/colinleroy/a2tools/issues/7 for details.

Come learn about programming the Fujinet and Apple2 in cc65 at the show.
#init:hello

These last days I've actually implemented the things I wanted to do since a while in my 6502 debugger, and it now counts cycles with page-crossing penalties, resolves y-indirect "($nn), y" memory accesses, warns me when a function returns with a stack imbalance.

It can now also exclude files or segments from the symbol-resolving, which is good when your projects have nine opponents sharing the same segment at different times.

I'm impatient to use all that extra help on my next project!

#WOzFest 38.1 yesterday was great fun.

Jon brought a repro Pac Man board and worked on Ian’s Second Sight card, Tony brought lots of goodies for giveaway, Steve worked on retro scans, David tried to get his IIe working, Tim got his Mac Classic working, Adrian populated his MacEffects IIc clear case, and we all got to meet Dolly (whose project was to chase a ball and warn us of intruders!

Four first-timers (incl. Dolly).

Jon and Steve have arrived for Day 2, looking forward to other attendees arriving!

Checked the emulation on apple2ts.com and it has issues (like MAME, AppleWin and Virtual II).
This project is breaking all the emulators whereas it works great on real hardware, I'm a little bit proud 😅

Looking for any disk images or documentation for this Saybrook 68000 card for the Apple II.

Glider for Apple II's first beta release is available at https://www.colino.net/wordpress/glider-for-apple-ii/

I hope you'll enjoy it, and be sure to report issues if you find some!

Continuing my adventures with the Grafex-32 upd7220 graphics card for the Apple II. Finally worked out the issue with syncing multiple cards together. This is four cards running to produce 640x400 interlaced with 16 colors. 1 bit per card to achieve the 16 colors. Each 7220 performs the drawing for that bit of color.

Had some fun dumping the micro controller rom from the Street Electronics The Cricket. First had to work out what the microcontroller was, turns out it’s a MC6801.

#WOzFest 35 update: NEWPRINT/Multi built at #OzKFest2023 on the network and printing through a Grappler+ clone secured from @Jongleur!

Checking if we can get colour next!

Huzzah!

@europlus great it’s arrived already. One thing I have done is setup a local tnfs server. The performance using the US based ones is quite slow from down under. I think the details should be on the Fujinet wiki somewhere. #fujinet
