Am I supposed to get some kind of notification if there is a task that requires attention?

Also, have you made a final decision about the board's future? I know you made a shutting down announcement on Facebook a few weeks ago which likely is not helping the already sparse traffic...

This is the first time I've heard about Mastodon. Intriguing idea. I have long dropped Twitter and considering dropping Facebook as well, so the idea of creating my own little server for family and friends to connect is interesting. I'll have to dig into this a bit further.

EOS • ANN: JSON parsing and the example Mastodon client.

2022-05-13T20:49:43-04:00

@everyone
world's simplest #mastodon client for #FujiNet. This is using the JSON parser built-in to #FujiNet to parse the data, and return it to the computer as needed. This is the #ColecoAdam version. Code here: https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet- ... odon/adam/ #RetroComputing

That's totally awesome.
What is the source of the news content?

The #ColecoAdam version of the #Fujinet News program has been released. Like the #Atari8bit version, It provides a viewer into a bunch of aggregated news sources.

You can run it on adam-apps.irata.online/Displays/news.ddp

OK I'm willing to give it a shot. If it becomes too much of a time hog, then I suppose you'll have to shut it down.
Let me know to get set up for this.

I don't even know what it takes to maintain such a site, assuming I even have the time to do so.
What do you need to do on a daily basis here? It seems to me that it's mostly self-running.

I find myself not having time to maintain or promote it. I know you use it and if you would like to step up and be an admin I’ll let you run it and I’ll keep it going. It’s what I did with the archive, James Notini is doing a great job running it for me.

Miscellaneous • Fujinet questions

2022-05-09T08:31:50-04:00

I've been playing with my Fujinet device and it's really great overall. I do have a few questions:

- What are the plans for the 2 leftward buttons?
- How do I know which firmware version I have?
- There is an OUT Adamnet port on the device, but when I connect a Virtual Disk Drive to it, it locks up and refuses to boot
- I have a Micro Innovations disk with TDOS set up to use the serial port for output which I use to display CP/M on an external terminal. This does not seem to work when I boot the disk from Fujinet.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Why is that Milli? Facebook is not an ideal forum for archiving technical conversations and file sharing. I realize that this forum does not get much traffic, but it's a great reference site and all my work is here.

EOS • #FujiNet disk/tape block read/write to network redirect

2022-05-05T16:55:28-04:00

#FujiNet working on idea: block (sector) to network redirect.

Would allow for a program to mark a sector such that:

given a mounted disk. A sector or block # could be marked with a N: URL.

* On read of sector, it would read from the N: URL
* On write of sector, it would write the sector data to N: URL.

This would allow for existing games that write their hi-score data out to disk, to be sent to a server to be processed and filtered.

I will be using it on the #ColecoAdam Super Games to implement high score leaderboards for Buck Rogers, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Sub-Roc, and Zaxxon.

Anyone wanna hack on it too?
