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>
Thomas Cherryhomes<p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/FujiNet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FujiNet</span></a> eh, you know, running Q*BERT from a web server, directly to my ATARI, using NLOAD (part of the FujiNet tools), as you do. :)</p>
Inverse ATASCII<p>Bingo! In earlier testing with cubeSQL, I was using a known seed to validate the hashes were being creating correctly. I now have the the Atari doing generating the seed and connecting to cubeSQL (running on Linux) via FujiNet.</p><p>I found an oddity in the FujiNet b64 encode that needs some more troubleshooting to isolate. And that was causing me much grief in trying to get these complex hashes put together successfully - thus the known seed that is now removed.</p><p>I can sleep now. :D</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/atari8bit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atari8bit</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/fujinet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fujinet</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/database" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>database</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/cubesql" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cubesql</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/vintagecomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vintagecomputing</span></a></p>

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.</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>
