HI all. I purchased a (beta) FujiNet connector at VCF-East few weeks ago to
use on my Macintosh Plus, would have bought one for my IIGS but they were
sold out by the time I got to the table. Anyway, these are awesome. The
retro computer has no idea it isn't using local storage but in reality it's
communicating over WiFi to an image server. No more image swapping or doing
anything on the retro hardware other than using the "local storage" it is
already using. 

 

Then it just hit me, why couldn't one of these go in a MessagePad/eMate in
the CF slot? It would solve the modern problem of no network connectivity
for safely saving notes and app data/interchange.

 

Those of you that know the Netwon platform hardware I/O capabilities, please
comment?

 

 

Thanks!

>From their website:

FujiNet is a multi-peripheral emulator and WiFi network device for vintage
computers. The first completed hardware was for Atari 8-Bit computers and
development has begun for other systems with the goal of supporting as many
as possible. What sets FujiNet apart from other WiFi devices is the new
Network Device (the N device, or NDEV). The N device allows vintage
computers that do not have enough processing power to handle TCP/IP
connections talk to the modern internet over WiFi. Virtual adapters have
been created for many protocols including: TCP, UDP, HTTP, FTP, TNFS, HTTPS
(SSL/TLS), SSH, TELNET, WebDAV and JSON parser.
