#FujiNet needs a firmware maintainer for #ColecoAdam

- Work on #ESP32 C++ code
- Periodically test nightly builds
- Improve AdamNet routine reliability
- We can teach every aspect.

@GamesMissed we've done Fujinet bring ups for a wide variety of machines. Such as #atari8bit #colecoadam #apple2 #trs80coco #msdos #msx and even #atari2600 . More are happening as we speak. Any and all, come join us

@joany we currently have production hardware for #atari8bit #apple2 #colecoadam #trs80coco and #msdos (via RS232)

User Documentation for the #FujiNet #WiFi Adapter for #retrocomputing and #retrogaming systems is starting to appear, thanks to the hard work of Ben Krein, and others.

#FujiNet - a WiFi Adapter for many #retrocomputing and #retrogaming systems. Coming soon for #MSX.

Also for #Atari8bit, #Apple2, #ColecoAdam, #TRS80CoCo, #MSDOS, #Commodore, and more.

https://fujinet.online/

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.

🪨 dBASE on the Kaypro II 🛠️

Armed with nothing more than a blinking cursor, I build an inventory system for my failing software retail shop (just play along with me here). I also explore #cpm add-on options for the #apple2 #c128 #colecoadam and others, and whoops! Did I accidentally become a #dbase programmer in the process?

That was one heck of a battle. But I finally got the tests to run! I only had to write my own fopen/fread for Adam CP/M, figure out why all the #FujiNet networking stuff was completely different than every other FujiNet platform, and improve the stability of the AdamNet bus on the FujiNet side. #Coleco #ColecoAdam #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

I think I'm making some progress on AdamNet stability on the FujiNet. I've been booted into CP/M for over an hour while trying to debug an application, constantly loading my program from FN disk and then dropping back to the A> prompt, and I haven't had to hit reset once.

The 5 stages of ~~grief~~ AdamNet

1. The existential question: do I exist?
2. Are you ready for a purpose?
3. Your purpose is to fetch data.
4. Have you filled out your reports?
5. Please turn in your homework.

#FujiNet #Coleco #ColecoAdam #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

Put together a Python script to decode the capture into AdamNet packets. It prints the timestamp in µs, the offset from previous packet as +µs, the command byte, decoded command name & device along with direction arrow. If there was any data in the packet then it is decoded and printed as both a hex dump and the decoded fields. I love how the endianness varies between packet types. Sometimes it's little endian, sometimes big.

Anyone ever use cpmtools 2.23 with #Coleco #Adam CP/M 160k disks? cpmls will give me a complete dir listing, but cpmcp complains "Attempting to access block beyond end of disk". Current diskdef:

The #FujiNet project needs maintainers for each of the production platforms:

* #Atari8bit
* #ColecoAdam
* #apple2
* #trs80coco
* #msdos (RS232)

People who can help keep on top of firmware and application fixes that need to happen, as we branch out on platforms.

It's a purely volunteer and thankless job, but I ask because this project belongs to all of us.

Help needed to port #FujiNet Battleship to:

#Atari8Bit #Apple2 #ColecoAdam #MSDOS #C64 #Plus4 #VIC20

Code is here:

Can you help?

I keep trying to tell people about #FujiNet.
That it is a WiFi adapter for your favorite #Atari8bit, #Apple2, #ColecoAdam, #TRS80CoCo, #Commodore, #Atari2600, #AtariLynx, and #MSDOS machines, with more to come.

But word isn't getting out.

Can u help?

The #ColecoAdam, supports two tape drives, using the same AdamNet device identifier.

This is accomplished by specifying the unit number in the device control block (DCB) when communicating with the tape device ID.

This unit number winds up as the last byte in the MN_SEND command sent to the tape drive, and this is why these packets are 5 bytes long, with 4 bytes containing the block number (as a 32-bit integer), followed by the unit number. As with all AdamNet packets, the last byte is the checksum.

This also means that unit numbers are only relevant to block devices, and character devices (such as the FujiNet network devices, the printer, or the keyboard) can't use them.

Anyone want to hack on Battleship server and clients for #FujiNet? We can target #Atari8bit, #Apple2, #ColecoAdam, #TRS80CoCo, #MSDOS, and others.

Spent today implementing all the Fuji device functions in fujinet-lib (C library) for #ColecoAdam.

It's an easy-to-use lib for accessing #FujiNet network and control functions from the Z88DK C compiler, so that #ColecoAdam can be a cross-platform target.

Come see the #FujiNet WiFi Adapter at the VCF SouthWest Show in Dallas, TX this weekend. Table 135.

You can see it in action on #Commodore, #Atari8bit, #Apple2, #IBM, #ColecoAdam, #Trs80CoCo, and others.

#FujiNet is a Wi-Fi Network Adapter for #retrocomputing and #retrogaming PCs.

This is an example #Gamedev application: A Sprite Editor running on the #ColecoAdam.

It is dumping its result back to a PC over a TCP socket.

Interesting article looking back at the Coleco Adam. Things get pretty wild at the end:

"If it hadn’t been for the Coleco Adam computer, the Nintendo NES might have come to market sooner, and with an Atari logo on it."

Want to help the #FujiNet project? Take the example programs we've made here, and make better ones. https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-apps #retrocomputing #atari8bit #Apple2 #ColecoAdam #Atari2600 #AtariLynx #RC2014 #trs80colorcomputer

It's nice seeing #colecoadam users use Netcat to dial into BBSes.
I had started work on a comms program with a more complete UI, but had to pause because I had more pressing matters to attend to (finalizing Apple2, starting macintosh bring-up, starting the TRS-80 Color Computer bring-up), but as with all things, the source code to "FujiLink I" was posted into the fujinet-apps repo on FujiNetWiFi's GitHub.

It's written in #C and builds with #Z88DK. Does somebody want to pick it up and finish it?
