Last week I released a project a couple of years in the making which allows the #atari8bit to communicate with a #cubeSQL database. cubeSQL wraps #SQLite as a server. I made an admin program called CubeDot (dBase dot prompt style), a POC todo manager called Fuji Do, and a spoof called Fuji Poo. This allows the Atari to handle over 100,000 records with full featured browsing! You can find out more and download them (with complete manuals) at my website:

I waited to post here until I got some screenshots posted.

I've resumed my #atari8bit project to use a remote #cubesql instance over #fujinet. Progress has been made! The last parsing routine that had me scratching my head back in May has been solved. Now it's just function implementation. Teaser for one tool attached.

Bingo! In earlier testing with cubeSQL, I was using a known seed to validate the hashes were being creating correctly. I now have the the Atari doing generating the seed and connecting to cubeSQL (running on Linux) via FujiNet.

I found an oddity in the FujiNet b64 encode that needs some more troubleshooting to isolate. And that was causing me much grief in trying to get these complex hashes put together successfully - thus the known seed that is now removed.

I can sleep now. :D

It didnt come easily, but.... Voila! Atari 8 Bit connected to CubeSQL via FujiNet! Code written in C with CC65. Now to code up some test DB stuff...

After much persistence, getting very close to a successful CubeSQL connection from the Atari 8 bit via FujiNet.
