While I too have been disappointed in the recent lack of traffic here,
and wondered whether it is due to Google's decision to no longer offer
access rather than just to being caused by a general lack of 'red meat'
Apple II news, this group will remain my primary method of interfacing
with my fellow Apple II fans.

That said, there are some interesting new Apple II projects out there
that seem never to be discussed here. That surprises me, but what's a
guy to do?

I remain grateful for all our stalwarts here.

The Slack channels have seemed kind of slow lately too, as compared to a
few weeks ago. Maybe it's just a lull in hobby activity?

Nope and nope. All the intelligent Apple II users went to https://apple2infinitum.slack.com/

Ew. I don't like Slack. :(

Hi David,

Maybe I'm missing some irony here, but otherwise I think that "rube" isn't
an appropriate name for Hugh. Something like "traditionalist" seems to fit
way better from my POV.

Just my two cents,
Oliver

Thanks Oliver,

But I'm good with 'rube'. Also 'bumpkin', 'hayseed' and other
pejoratives for males in the Southern U.S. ;-)

If the shoe fits, ...

Plus, I *think* David was joking. In any case, I laughed.

Perhaps you may be intrigued to be informed that there is an SMB FST for
Apple IIgs presentation in the schedule for Kansasfest 2024.

Was that the 'bounty' that Sheppy put on the project? It seems like it's been a while.

Since we're on the subject of a SMB FST, would this require an Uthernet card (or perhaps Fujinet) to function?

Also, would it preserve file attributes (and resource forks) with AppleDouble?

Yes, about 10 years ago.

I don't know anything about this particular project, but if it was written
to use the Marinetti tool interface, it ought to work on any Marinetti-compatible network interface.
