Atari 800 Networking

Imagesource: HomeComputerMuseum / Dylan van Voorthuijsen

In Issue #28 we already spoke about a very special piece of hardware for 8-bit Atari machines: FujiNet.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of a test system, we couldn't take a closer look at the cartridge ourselves. Lawrence Popa from AuvikNetworks has now taken care of that for us, and he took a look behind the silicone scenes of the mighty dwarf.

The task: Connect an Atari 800 to a modern network.

The result and a whole lot more insight can be read in Lawrence's article. Assuming that the release of the 800 will soon be 43 years ago, I'm personally looking forward, to what the next 40 years will bring in terms of hardware and software for 8-bit'ers!
