Combined with <code>rlfossil</code>, a telnet-to-serial-port emulator for DOS (yes, really!), you can now read and write messages in my little forum!</p><p>Just telnet to <code>floppy.museum</code> on port <code>8023</code> - I recommend using <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.anduin.net/tag/syncterm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SyncTERM</a> or some other client that implements the IBM 437 codepage, or 850 in a pinch. The experience should be fairly period-correct, something akin to a 1200 baud modem based on my testing.</p><p>And just a reminder: This is a 286 machine, which also runs a web server, an IRC server, an FTP server <em>and</em> all of the above at the same time. It's not fast, but it gets the job done.</p><p>Also: Only one node at the moment. If it's busy, try again later! Consider it an early beta, for the moment! :D</p><p>[1] <a href="https://dcclost.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://dcclost.com/</a></p><p><a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.anduin.net/tag/retrocomputing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RetroComputing</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.anduin.net/tag/why" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Why</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.anduin.net/tag/patience" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Patience</a></p>
Josh Renaud<p>Deuce recently added support for the Atari ST flavor of VT52 to his SyncTerm program.</p><p>I first requested this feature 14 years ago. I was so excited it finally happened, that I made a new VT52 animation to celebrate.</p><p>Plus I dug up six more that I have never seen published anywhere else.</p><p><a href="https://breakintochat.com/blog/2025/02/15/some-love-for-vt52-on-the-atari-st/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">breakintochat.com/blog/2025/02</span><span class="invisible">/15/some-love-for-vt52-on-the-atari-st/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://digipres.club/tags/atarist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>atarist</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/atari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>atari</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/textmode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>textmode</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/textanimation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>textanimation</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/animation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>animation</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/asciiart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>asciiart</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/vt52" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vt52</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/syncterm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>syncterm</span></a> <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/textart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>textart</span></a></p>
