Made a cartridge for the #FujiNet #PicoROM prototype. All data is transferred over the bus, it doesn't plug into the serial port in the back of the CoCo. As a prototype it's still missing things and has to be plugged into a computer which is what the USB-C connector is sticking out of the top. #RaspberryPiPico #RetroComputing #VintageComputing #TRS80CoCo
The timing on the #TRS80CoCo leaves me a very narrow window to return data. I'm not quite sure how we managed to make the MSX #FujiNet prototype work, and yet it does. I'm going to have to see if I can optimize my code even more on the #RaspberryPi Pico to be able to return the data sooner.
Finally got this TRS-80 online with #fujinet. What a wonderful community of brilliant minded developers and engineers. I used NETCAT to Telnet to a DX cluster just because it can. Watching spots scroll realtime on this 43 yr old computer is a bit surreal. #hamradio #trs80coco #retrocomputing
Prototype of #TRS80 CoCo #FujiNet which uses the cartridge bus –and not the CoCo RS232 serial port– booting up the FujiNet CONFIG program. Shows the splash and goes into the menu! The prototype board uses a PicoROM wired direct to the bus, all IO is sent out over the USB port. This is the same technique currently being used by the MSX FujiNet prototype too.
There is now an integration test suite for #FujiNet which runs on:
* #ColecoAdam
* #AppleII
* #Atari8Bit
* #TRS80CoCo
* #MSDOS
Still need to do #C64, but I'm going to need a lot of encouragement to tackle that.
For #Atari8bit #FujiNet users, fnc-tools has been updated
* NCOPY NOW RETURNS PROPER ERROR CODE
* ATARI DOS 3 SCREEN IMPROVEMENT.
* ONLY SHOW PRESS ANY KEY IF NEEDED.

@christopherdrum Do you have a #FujiNet? :)
Because @tschak keeps me so busy debugging so many different versions of #FujiNet, I need to setup a "Wall of FujiNet" in my office. Plan is to build some kind of small rack where the Adam and PVM are so I can jam in a CoCo 3, Atari XEGS, and Commodore 128. This is the before picture. #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

FujiNet for RS-232 is in the house! Currently supports MS-DOS/PC Compatible systems (like these Atari DOS World beauties). Video veeeeery soon 😎

I'd love to just hack on #FujiNet all day, and make ways for our #retrocomputing and #retrogaming systems to be able to work and play together.
But there aren't enough of you that feel the same way to even engage, much less even help. so. *shrug*
As an exercise (in patience) I'm implementing a TNFS server in Rust.
Today I reached the point where I can mount a disk image (Read only) in #fujinet and boot from it on my 600XL. Now I just need to add write support before I start the refactoring. 😅
