Thom is a force of nature. Great talk! FujiNet forever!
Not sure if Thomas will read these, but we can see that you were nervous to present; just wanna say that yer a rockstar, man - THANK YOU for presenting. Full of the info I needed to hear - we support you and I hope the talk brings more excitement to FujiNet. Awesome!
Great stuff! It's a little hard to wrap your head around how this is different than typical WiModem type stuff. The first "cross-platform" microcomputer game that I'm aware of is Scott Adams' COMMBAT ("comm" as in over a modem) - Scott didn't actually write it but published it in his TRS-80 Adventure Game stuff (he sent me some notes about it). A TRS-80 person could dial an Apple2 person and they both exchange turns in this game - and as Thomas says, it's no reason we can't recreate that experience today. An intermediate host could know the capability of the respective systems, and a protocol used to convey the game state to those respective systems (something more specialized than VT52/VT100 - at the tail end of the BBS days, there was AVATAR, that just used a more efficient packed protocol to be 2x faster than ANSI, but it requires all new terminal software - these days, we could probably auto-generate a protocol and terminal program on the fly to dynamically create more efficient exchanges depending on the nature of the content). Anyhow, I see a lot of potential here, looking forward to learning more about it.
That's exactly what I THOUGHT FujiNet was... another wifi modem. It wasn't on my platform of choice, so I didn't look. I'm pumped about FujiNet!
@@paullee107Fujinet skipped all the 'trying to make a web browser and tcp/ip stack' -- went to disks, printers and modems, which makes the whole thing a lot less heavy on the vintage PCs.
Nice video! I had never heard of FujiNet until this last week when I saw photos of a table set up at VCF and I asked what is that item. I just watched this talk and learned a lot of its history and future plans. I like how at 12:27 it shows Commodore in the list of more platforms to be added. I'm a Commodore FANBOY and this is probably why I have not heard about FujiNet until now. Serious question: What do you think are some things this can do for the C64/C128 that my 4-year-old Ultimate 1541 II+ cartridge and my brand new Ultimate 1541 II+L cartridge doesn't already do? I ask because I wonder if I need to get on the preorder waiting list when one comes around or is it something I really won't need having these 2 cartridges?
Thom is one of the best engineers I know. He is self taught and very knowledgeable. He and I were very close friends and one time and I can’t think of anyone who could get the job done like him. Mad respect.
I suspect demand will be so great for c64 that I’ll never be able to snag one :)
May the odds be ever in our favor!
anyone can build them so absolute worst case you'll have to build one yourself.
I love it 🙂
