CDTV to Raspberry Pi for Internet?

[chocolate_boy]

I recently saw a guide on hooking up an Amiga to the net via a Raspberry Pi, only thing is the software all needs 3.0 or above.

I have the null modem cable, is there anyway to do this on a 1mb CDTV? Just for running terminal/bbs telnet services and file transfers?

if lack of RAM is a concern you can always expand your memory in the CDTV, there are expansion boards available

I think 1.3 compatibility may be more of an issue?

Amigakit.com and others do sell kickstarts so you can check with them, 1mb of ram will not go far when trying to surf though

Yeah wasn't looking to surf the web, just telnet and IRC. Rather keep it on 1.3 as I already have a beefed up 3.9 A1200, just wanted to see how much I could do on a low-end system.

Would it be possible to use a Raspberry Pi with null modem instead of that Frizzbox?

Certainly, all you would need would be a disk (if you have a floppy drive for your CDTV) or CD with a terminal program (JRComm, etc..)
Then you just have a serial terminal to the Pi with a standard Linux shell.
From there, you can telnet to wherever you want...

There are rz and sz programs for Linux.
I used those back in the day to transfer programs with my Amiga and Unix servers.
Basically, you download the files to the Linux box from your shell using Telnet (or minicomm or ??).
Then you use the sz command to "send" the file using ZModem to your Amiga.
As long as your Amiga terminal program of choice supports Z-modem, should be good.
I believe the Linux package you would need is lrzsz. You might also want something like minicomm on Linux probably, as I think it might be more compatible with BBSes????
(Been a while..)

p.s. I did this on my A500 with 1M RAM quite a lot, so memory shouldn't be an issue.. And that was with 1.3.

You need to upgrade the extended roms to 2.70 or 2.3 before you can use ks2.0 & above
