#Apple2 #FujiNet users: This is a network file transfer/utility I am putting together to elicit comment and engagement on making the best possible fujinet utility for apple2

Power and new users alike, please comment.

#FujiNet protocol adapters work on ALL of its platforms.

Does this mean #Apple2 can use the new Google Drive adapter? YES.

The new revision of the #MiSCUSI SCSI card for #apple2 works! (Almost fully SMD SCSI card with active termination)

This one uses CMOS 53C80 controllers (easier to get in PLCC format than the NMOS ones, tested several zilog and an AMD one), replaces the 'LS133 with something cheaper to get and shuffles around some components.
I was even able to test the fuse protection 😬

It's currently running some games on my Delta Apple2e clone using #BlueSCSI .
