One can use an #Atari8bit computer like an #Atari800XL, or #atari800 emulator with #FujiNet-PC to connect to a CP/M #cpm emulator.

There's a 2.9kb binary file that runs on #Atari8bits with #FujiNet that quickly connects you to the Southern AMIS Projects 2026 - #Atari Gateway.

Here's a short demo.

btw, the "app" is even smaller than the animated GIF here. :D

I discovered that B. Watson (Urchlay) ported #Taipan to the #Atari8bit recently (2026). Obligatory screenshot below. It's still work-in-progress, but it's already pretty good.

I had wanted to port Taipan too, and I've posted elsewhere about my own feeble attempts. At least now, I can just enjoy playing the game on my Atari 800XL. :)

If you want to check it out, it's available at https://slackware.uk/~urchlay/repos/taipan/about/

today, i worked on implementing netsio proceed signal handling in the #atari800 emulator. after hours of dev, I got it working and submitted a PR to the github:atari800/atari800 project.

Being new to the #Commodore world, I'm strangely thrilled to discover there's an implementation of #COMAL80 for the C64.

I was first introduced to it on the Apple ][ in secondary school. I didn't take it seriously at the time because it was so similar to BASIC, and because the Apple ][ was so clearly crippled compared to the #atari800 I had at home.
