The Amazing FujiNet!

The FujiNet is an SIO peripheral for Atari 8-bit computers (400,800,XL,XE) that emulates many classic peripherals, and then some.

At its most basic level, the FujiNet can emulate an Atari disk drive and serve up disk images from an SD card. It can also act as a WiFi modem, with no need for an Atari 850 (RS232) interface. And since it has WiFi and can serve up disk images, why not serve up disk images from anywhere on the internet? Yep, it does that, too.

The FujiNet also emulates a variety of vintage printers, not just on the interface side but on the printing side as well. It doesn’t actually print anything, of course, but instead renders printouts as printer-realistic PDF files, which can be downloaded from the FujiNet’s built-in web server. The web server also allows for managing various settings of the FujiNet.

The fujiNet’s capabilities are also accessible from AtariBASIC.

On top of all that, the FujiNet also contains an emlated Z80 processor running CP/M which can be accessed via the emulated modem.

If you’d like to check one out, more information is available at the FujiNet website and you can purchase one from Vintage Computer Center (no affiliation).
