woot!

finally got reading and writing to work with the ADTpro 1.2.4 version (no date time, likes to clash with just about everything, but simpler version) ... so yea, this is a real thing now!

Sure is satisfying when the data just starts flowing, isn't it? Keep in mind that server versions beyond 1.2.4 still speak the non-time protocol, so later versions of server are backwards compatible.

Utility software is like 10 lines of applesoft, and maybe a page of simple menu commands over serial to the AVR.

That would be cool - and of course would still be applicable to the Apple with an umbilical back to a host.

To drum up interest, keep in mind this will run on any apple II that can run ADTpro currently (with an ADT compatible modem cable, not included) ... II's with a SSC, IIc, IIc+, GS. I have no idea about the III, I have only seen one in person once, in a closet at school while I was in 5th grade back in the late 80's

The /// speaks the exact same protocol, so booting with the VSDRIVE device driver on the /// will work with it as well.

My model... Heres a snapshot of the model I made
