FozzTexx<p>And now I can run a .EXE from TNFS!

FozzTexx<p>I can't believe how much special casing <a href="https://mastodon.fozztexx.com/tags/MSDOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MSDOS</span></a> does when it comes to files. First there was a difference between COPY and TYPE. Now there is a difference when trying to run a .EXE. Nope, can't just read bytes from a file and run them, there's some additional field somewhere that has to be set "just right.”</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.fozztexx.com/tags/FujiNet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FujiNet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.fozztexx.com/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.fozztexx.com/tags/VintageComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VintageComputing</span></a></p>
FozzTexx<p>Quick proof of concept demo using the <a href="https://mastodon.fozztexx.com/tags/FujiNet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FujiNet</span></a> RS232 with DOS to provide a network mapped drive. The drive comes from my TNFS server. I'm able to get a directory listing, filter the listing to see just the .EXE files, and copy a file off.</p><p>It's all read-only at this stage, but it's nice to be able to use it on real hardware, esp. since the T5200 has no WiFi. Less clunky than xfer via modem. Getting SMB protocol working is next.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.fozztexx.com/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.fozztexx.com/tags/VintageComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VintageComputing</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AArUN3Z84VM" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/shorts/AArUN3Z84VM</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

At last, some real progress with getting the network redirector working with #FujiNet! This was far more difficult than it should have been; partly because the DOS books are terrible (“look how clever we are!” making Watcomable code examples), partly because DOS makes me do all the heavy lifting, partly because I wanted to do things "the Watcom way” which makes using `__interrupt` extremely difficult.

Using RS232 FujiNet to map a TNFS server to a DOS drive letter and then getting a compact directory listing of the drive.

@tschak what's the current state of the #JSON parser in #FujiNet? Does it implement a jq like interface by now?

I found this example video, linked from fujinet.online/2020/10/03/json, to be a really helpful summary! Thanks!

It seems the page on XIO commands for the FujiNet is well out of date, though: github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet

What's currently the best way to figure out what's implemented? Look at the FujiNet firmware code?

(Perhaps all the lore is shared on Discord; I don't use it. I detest it with a vengeance.)

A screenshot from a video of an Atari 8-bit screen showing a series of Atari BASIC commands entered in interactive mode. Superimposed on top of the video is a simple JSON object, shaped as follows: { "userId": 1, "id":1, "title": "delectus aut autem", "completed": false } The BASIC session looks like this: READY DIM A$(99) READY OPEN #1,12,3,"'N:HTTPS://JSONPLACEHOLDER.TYPICODE.COM/todos/1" READY XIO 128,#1,12,3,"N:" READY XIO 129,#1,12,3,"N:TITLE" READY INPUT #1,A$ READY ? A$ delectus aut autem READY

After banging my head on bizarre MS-DOS driver APIs and lack of coherent documentation for a couple of weeks: progress! My #FujiNet RS232 SYS driver not only is able to automatically set the time on boot, but I can remotely access a 360k disk image from @tschak's TNFS server and run a program from it. (Albeit quite slowly since the disk interface speed is throttled at 9600 for the moment. Still faster than C64 though!)

My Toshiba T5200 screen showing that it was able to fetch the current time from the RS232 FujiNet and set the MS-DOS clock to it. Below that is a directory listing of the D: drive which is a disk image that lives on a remote TNFS server.

Program from remote TNFS server display a sine wave on the screen of my T5200. Next to the T5200 is my HP4957A showing all kinds of RS232 data while I was debugging. Far off in the background is a sleeping dog wearing his red bonnet while his ear heals.
