So you've gotten your FujiNet connected and now you want to try doing something with the N: network device? This quickstart guide will help you dip your toes into it via BASIC, and is by no means meant to be a comprehensive overview of everything you can do with it, or how it all works.
Using F-tools and N-tools
There are a variety of stand-alone programs, which can be invoked on the Atari itself, to operate the #FujiNet. They may be run from a command-line DOS such as SpartaDOS (e.g., FLS 1 to show files on the TNFS host (or micro-SD card) on slot 1), or from a menu-driven DOS such as Atari DOS 2.5 or MyDOS (e.g., [L]oad FLS.COM, and then enter "1" at the prompt).
The fujinet-sd-card collection contains these tools, and much more, which you may place on a micro-SD card inserted into your #FujiNet and mount onto one or more drive slots.
The tools are available...
- in a stand-alone disk image (
fnc-tools.atr) which contains no DOS; therefore, it is not bootable, and (unless you're using a cartridge-based DOS like Sparta DOS X) you'll want to: - within disk images containing a variety of popular Atari DOSes (Atari DOS, BW-DOS, DOS XL, MyDOS, SpartaDOS, etc.), found within the DOS subdirectory
Consult the fujinet-config-tools README for information on each command.
Programming with the N: device
Atari BASIC will be used here (and compatible BASICs, like TurboBASIC XL should work), but the concepts should work in other languages like C, Pascal, Action!, etc.
So, boot your Atari with BASIC enabled, or an Atari BASIC cartridge installed (400/800/1200XL models), or fire up TurboBASIC XL.
