Of course, FujiNet is also coming to the Commodore machines, first with an IEC port, and then we can do an IEEE-488 version: video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izdCLDQ1ZxU What sets this device apart, is that in addition to doing drive emulation, it also handles printer emulation, a wi-fi modem, and a network adapter with tons of protocol offloading, providing a clean I/O interface to the target system, making software development for it a joy. -Thom On Mon, Dec 13, 2021 at 2:39 PM André Fachat <afachat_at_gmx.de> wrote: > > > Am 12.
