I’m pleased to announce updates to A2SERVER and A2CLOUD. They run on a Raspberry Pi, a premade downloadable virtual machine, or any Linux computer. Get them and read about how to set them up at http://appleii.ivanx.com. If you’re already running and want to update, type ‘a2server-setup’ and ‘a2cloud-setup’.
Raspple II, the “suite” which makes it easy to load a Raspberry Pi with A2SERVER and A2CLOUD, along with David Schmenk’s Apple II Pi, has also been updated to include the new versions. It’s at http://ivanx.com/rasppleii
