FujiNet is a multi-function network adapter. It was initially developed for the Atari 8-bit systems, but we started adapting its firmware, and building other hardware versions for other platforms.

To date, we have implementations for Atari 8-bit, Coleco Adam, Apple // and ///, TRS-80 Color Computer, Atari Lynx, Atari 2600, Commodore (64/128/Plus4/VIC20). There are also system bring-ups happening for many other computers, such as ZX Spectrum, IBM PC (ISA and RS232 versions), RC-2014, BBC Micro, and more.

It provides virtual disk, for loading software from the Internet, a virtual printer which rasterizes to PDF, a network adapter with tons of protocol offloading, and a whole host of other subdevices (e.g. CP/M emulation, speech synthesizer, and more)

It is a public project, that anyone can jump in and hack on, and we want people to come in and help hack on versions for their favorite systems.

Thank you for clarifying. The Fujinet site doesn’t quite show whether the connector is one for all computers.

I’ll have to keep digging around so I can revive a ZX Spectrum!

We are working on a version for the ZX Spectrum that connects via the expansion bus.

This work is part of a much larger push to create a generic bus interface.

If you can help, please join the discord. :)
