FujiNet - The Atari 8-Bit Computer, wonder device

FujiNet is an amazing device for the Atari 8-Bit computer series.
Do you want a device that combines 8 emulated disk drives,
with local and internet server access, as well as bring able to print from legacy apps to PDF files?
Then you may need a FujiNet.

This device is a true liberator for my Atari 800.
Watch to see what it brings to your retro party.

It's certainly on my list to get one.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

I've got one, nice device I should use more, though with a Side3/UMB1 combo to hand I usually use that more.
Collector of many retro things!
800XL and 65XE both with Ultimate1MB,VBXL/XE & PokeyMax, SIDE3, SDrive Max, 2x 1010 cassette, 2x 1050 one with Happy mod, 3x 2600 Jr, 7800 and Lynx II
Approx 20 STs, including a 520 STM, 520 STFMs, 3x Mega ST, MSTE & 2x 32 Mhz boosted STEs
Plus the rest, totalling around 50 machines including a QL, 3x BBC Model B, Electron, Spectrums, ZX81 etc...

I have the opportunity to get a FujiNet Pro on loan, so I may do a follow up video on that device.
There is not THAT much different about it, so I may also focus a little on some of the features I did not dwell too long on in the original video.
I'm thinking of having a quick look at its printing features, and also its networking.

Anything advice on what else more experienced FujiNet users think would be good to feature, would be very much welcome?

Nice video, looks like a good device, but needs to have an ethernet port in addition to wifi.

Fantastic piece of equipment, using Fujinet for a year now.
Easy to setup TNFS server locally to access software.

The hardware used by Fujinet (ESP32) doesn't have built-in support for Ethernet, as it does have full built-in wifi support. Supporting Ethernet would require adding an external controller, not just the connector. This would complicate the design and make it more expensive.

But it is fully open source, if somebody is brave enough to implement Ethernet support.

Yeah, I would get one if that happened. Looks like a fun device. I don't do wifi in my house though.

I was going to ask why an ethernet port, but then I realised WIFI is not an option for some. Could you not get WIFI, or is it an ethical choice?

Well I wouldn't say it's an ethical choice, just a personal choice ;) .
