  • garberstreet downloads - swyftcard

    From Andrew Roughan@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 7 10:23:39 2022
    Did anyone take a download of whatever Bill had in his downloads section?

    For example, I found reference that Jerry had uploaded patent information
    on the swyftcard to Bill’s site but I don’t see this material in the Wayback Machine.

    If Jerry is still around and still has this material I’d be interested in making a copy available to Jeff Mazur for possible use with the ROM X
    project.

    Thanks
    Andrew

    I have two swyftcard patent PDF files (I generated them from uspto.gov).
    I have uploaded them to asimov, and I can email them to you if you like.

    They are in the pub/apple_II/incoming directory for now, until the
    maintainer moves them to documentation/ somewhere.

    Searching by patent number also turns up these links, which are viewable
    now:

    https://patents.google.com/patent/US4806916A/en https://patents.google.com/patent/US5019806A/en

    Interesting that it appears to be built around Forth...some recent browsing around turned up Collapse OS, which is also Forth-based and has an Apple II port:

    http://collapseos.org/

    The Apple II port seems pretty rudimentary. I've toyed a while with trying
    to contribute an enhancement - primarily ProDOS disk I/O support via MLI.
    But I need to stop getting side tracked...

    Regards,
    Oliver

    Any way to download them without signing up for Yet Another Service I don't want?

    Clicking the download button (the down-arrow-looking thing) worked for me.

    Thanks! I am very talented at missing the forest for the trees...
