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

A2SERVER is a free file server and network boot host for Apple II computers. Version 1.2.0 has the following improvements:

– supports Raspberry Pi Model B+
– handles potential AppleTalk-related crash on newer Linuxes (e.g. latest Raspbian)
– starts up faster
– installer script is much faster on Raspberry Pi and Debian x86
– virtual machine is available with A2SERVER only, or A2SERVER+A2CLOUD

A2CLOUD is a free internet access device, virtual drive, and floppy transfer tool for any Apple II. Version 1.7.1 has the following improvements:

– supports Raspberry Pi Model B+
– supports non-Raspberry Pi computers and virtual machines (no longer “beta”)
– Uses ADTPro 2.0.0 for faster floppy transfer, and easier file selection
– KEGS and Linapple are installed on non-Raspberry Pi computers
– installer script is much faster on Raspberry Pi and Debian x86
– adds unbit/unexec/usq unarchiving tools
– available in a premade virtual machine

Enjoy,
Ivan.
