PiServe
[ Show youtube player ]
Using the Pi as a serial to lan converter is nothing new but i wanted to make one completely automated and here it is, its more or less finished..i may add a status LED but especially its finished. The C64 only needs 9600 baud or less but i will also try it on the Amiga and other computers later. Networking is such a pain on old systems - i want an easy solution... Apple II ST Ti99 Atari 800 not sure if i can rig it up to a PET but i'll have a go. mike. |

I recently did something similar for the Amiga. You have encouraged me to publish this!
I've documented the steps here: http://c0dedbad.co.uk/raspberrypi-amiga-ppp/ It's still work in progress! Last edited by nogginthenog; 29 March 2016 at 20:14. |

Ideally I want to find a MAX3232 that has hardware handshaking. I think it will reduce CPU usage and stop the occasional 0 CPS I am seeing in large downloads.

I've seen one with a wifi aerial too! Do they have a PPP server?

my plan is to refine the PiServe so it works on all my 8bit and 16 bit systems.
C64 C128 Ti99 PET 8032 ZX Spectrum Atari800 (maybe) BBC B Amiga 1000 + 4000 ST FM time will tell, i may fit an LCD too and case it all up and if people are invested i may build a few. |

How do you physically connect the C64 and the Pi in this case? I fail to see an adapter.

The Pi is connected to a 9600 baud User port adapter (serial 9 pin) and to USB on the Pi, but a hand wired user port RS232 can give from 2400 to 9600 baud also.
for a bbs 2400 baud is fine and is what modems of the era used anyway. mike. |

The PI2 can handle 115200 easily. 230400 is possible if you tweak the boot.txt (I didn't try any faster).

Are any of these able to offer a turnkey 56k modem?

There are plenty of turnkey rs232 56k modems available, why would you want a raspi in between?

I have something similar in my 4k, a hardkernel board connected by ethernet to the 4000.
The board bridges the Amiga's connections to Wlan/external-Ethernet exports a NFS mount and provides RSH. With a bit of code this gives that you can issue commands to it straight from Amiga shell with a shared filesystem and for connecting to modern services just mount them inside the NFS root which is how i connect to SMB/SSHFS/etc. Another fun one is 'edit' locally and cross compile on the ARM, while invoking from Amiga shell. |
