This video explains the #FujiNet N: Handler for #Atari8bit systems, and puts it in perspective with the other devices in the system. It also explains the N-tools, which can be used when the N: handler can't be used. #retrocomputing
Because we always have new users, and because I am trying to build interest in this area, I will be going over both old and new subjects.
Also, because the video is long, it has been split up into chapters:
CHAPTERS
00:00 Introduction
01:00 Existing CIO devices
01:41 pre-made DOS disks with N:
04:42 Loading BASIC game off HTTP (web) server
09:00 Using the FTP protocol adapter
22:00 Compiling Action code from the network
25:00 Using the SMB adapter to access Windows Network Shares
26:30 Glitch, using multiple N: devices via NDEV
28:00 Saving Action! code between Atari and PC using NTRANS to set line ending translation
38:00 Music Composer, DOS 3, and using N-Tools to work around brain-dead DUPs
45:00 Using N: and the N-Tools from SpartaDOS
52:00 A detour showing a terminal emulator in BASIC that uses N: to connect to TELNET
55:00 Changing N: endpoint from TELNET to HTTPS to read something completely different
58:00 Second glitch, reading file from web server using Action editor.
1:01:00 The N-Tools
An Apology: I wanted to show the NOS, but the video was getting long, and glitches were happening.
