Oh yes, I am ready to get started. I have been studying the "Programming the 6502" book which I obtained just for this project. I now know the equivalent of Applesoft's PEEK, POKE…

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. I've seen you quite a few times on csa2 as well. UNIX on the Apple II is something that people have been talking about for over 20 years…

Unix for 8-bit Apple — #18

I don't think that it does. I just read the manual last evening, and it looks like it's a bunch of BASIC scripts all tied together. It does have a task scheduler, though. Click …

Well, the browser is a damned handy thing... with serious limitations. It's not really much good for modern web content, but it is a great way to download files to your Apple II. Y…

Unix for 8-bit Apple — #15

I don't think not programming for Contiki disqualifies you from commenting on its use. Anything about the (user perspective!) differences between 1.x and 2.x, using the UI or …

Unix for 8-bit Apple — #14

Unfortunately I don't have much to contribute... I haven't done any programming for Contiki. As far as using it goes, I'm running the 2.x version on the web server and I use 1.3 fo…

Unix for 8-bit Apple — #13

Maybe luddite could write a bit about his Contiki experiences for us, and explain the differences between the 1.x and 2.x branches. I recently read something about 2.x being focus…

I played with it a bit last year... I was hoping to get a proline bbs online, but the message board part is pretty archaic and I wasn't up to the task of writing a new one. Neat to…

I think the closest you'll come to something that works out of the box w/o a lot of work is Contiki. I don't have any experience with it, but some people around here do.
