Bill Kendrick edited this page Oct 14, 2020 · 2 revisions

For this test, you will need

  • Atari
  • #FujiNet
  • Working WiFi Connection
  • atari-apps.irata.online in an available host slot.

Steps

  1. Power on #FujiNet
  2. Power on Atari
  3. Wait for CONFIG to boot.
  4. In Hosts, select atari-apps.irata.online host slot.
  5. Select Tests/ directory
  6. Select n-handler-dosxl.atr, select D1:, mount as R/O
  7. Once HOSTS/DEVICES appears, press OPTION to boot. Keep holding OPTION to disable BASIC.
  8. Wait for DOS XL banner.
  9. Change N:'s directory to FTP.PIGWA.NET by typing (being sure to unlock CAPS LOCK!):
D1:NCD N:FTP://FTP.PIGWA.NET/stuff/collections/
  1. Verify that N's directory is correct by using NPWD:
D1:NPWD N:
FTP://FTP.PIGWA.NET/stuff/collections/

D1:
  1. Get a directory of the FTP server using DIR.
NDIR
... Press [Return]... A list of files in this directory, mostly directories...
  1. Move into the "holmes cd" directory using NCD
D1:NCD N:holmes cd/
  1. Get a directory.
D1:DIR N:
Holmes 1
Holmes 2
Holmes 3
  1. Change directory further in to Holmes 2/Atari Archives/Antic Files/88/
D1:NCD N:Holmes 2/Atari Archives/Antic Files/88/
  1. Verify that the directory is changed with NPWD. If no devicespec is specified, N1: is assumed.
D1:NPWD
FTP://FTP.PIGWA.NET/stuff/collections/holmes cd/Holmes 2/Atari Archives/Antic Files/88/

  1. Try to load KENO.EXE from this directory
LOA N:KENO.EXE
  1. Keno should load.
  2. Cold start the Atari, leave option un-held to load BASIC (or insert BASIC cartridge if needed)
  3. When BASIC loads and you see #FUJINET READY, try loading SUNSET.BAS
READY
RUN"N:SUNSET.BAS

(Note that the directory is still set to the above.) 20. Power off the Atari

Expected Result

  • KENO.EXE should load from the FTP site. SUNSET.BAS should RUN from BASIC from the same FTP site.
