Ok, this is pretty cool. Using `DEBUG`, `MODE`, and `CTTY` I was able to bootstrap the #FujiNet driver over to a fresh install without having to resort to SneakerNet via writing the driver to removable media. I let the remote system take control of the DOS prompt through the serial prot and it moved the file over "ADTPRo style." #VintageComputing #RetroComputing

Fujinet-Chat is an #IRC client for #Atari 8-bit computers with Fujinet

It’s interesting to see how different our worlds were a few decades ago. Back in Switzerland (strongly influenced by Germany, even in the French speaking part)   Commodore was *the thing* in the 8 bit era.

I hardly even heard about 8 bit Atari computers (like the 800 XL) and they seem great based on what I see.

I just started to care about them because of #FujiNet .

Here's a sample screenshot of FujiNet-Chat running on #atari800 with #Fujinet-PC on #Linux. FujiNet-Chat is an #IRC client for #Atari8bit computers.

I got FujinetChat to work on my Atari 800XL! But only after fixing some code in fujinet-firmware to get the PROCEED signal properly handled for SIO2PC.

The fix was submitted as my first PR to the fujinet-firmware project on github. It was accepted. :)

#atari8bit user @w1k added TURBO 2000 cassette format support to #FujiNet. He's not a coder, so he asked Claude to help him. W guidance from us and our CI-CD pipeline, he was able to make it work, without a dev environment.

#atari8bit FujiNet gets a contribution with help from AI, Turbo 2000 Cassette loading.

All of the social networks have become so overrun with autoslop that I can't promote anything that #FujiNet is doing.

Need other options and other people to help cut through the noise.

====================

UPDATE: Just saw your first vibecoded commit. Of course it's your team's choice, but I'm literally avoiding (F)OSS projects with AI slop and thought your project held to this standard as well.

#NoAI

Your work with #FujiNet is incredible (I lurk on your discord as well).

On the Fedi, I don't think it's hitting several large groups that I think would be really interested: retro hardware and retro operating systems enthusiasts. There are also retro gamers and retro game developers here, but they use the following tags:

#retrogaming
#retroComputing
#retrogames
#retro

You'll hit a larger audience with these.

Also have Fujinet posts copied to a list, so I don't miss them and can boost.

@tschak Getting seen is hard :-/

Tagging related stuff with #Retrocomputing helps a bit.  Adding a cat on the helps a lot more (and I am not even kidding, plus cats are wonderful).

What you are doing with #FujiNet is simply amazing. It definitely needs to be seen by more people.

Are my #FujiNet post just going into a black hole, or?

This is extremely frustrating. Especially with the last post showing how #FujiNet can be incorporated into #gamedev flow.

Either nobody gets it, or nobody gives a s***.
