Folks,
I was going to install RaspberryDECnet on my Linux VM (running on PC) but is
only designed for Raspberry Pi cards. Will they work on x86/x64 linux
distros or Ubuntu 20.04?
I am waiting for new Pi Case 40 package that I backed on Kickstarter and
submitted survey on backerkit soon. I am also getting 2 Pi 4 8GB cards. New
Pi Case 40 now provide new SSD slot for larger SSD drives.
I did not see any lat login programs on that because it is not part of
DECnet kit. Are you still working on LAT login programs and latd daemon
server? I have old DECnet for Linux package that includes lat login
programs. There is a copy of LAT specification on bitsavers.
Thanks,
Tim

Speaking of larger SSD drives: the sizes are getting to be pretty amazing. I just bought
a 1 TB SSD (internal 2.5 inch SATA). And while in the store I spotted microSD cards, 256
GB capacity. Yup, 1/4th of a TB in a package about half the size of a postage stamp.
I thought my BeagleBone was roomy with 32 GB in its microSD slot.

The Raspberry Pi (and PiOS in particular is where I do all my testing). I did have it
running on an early Debian Buster release (both 32- and 64-bit versions). It should work
on Ubuntu but I haven?t done any testing and you will have to work out the correct build
procedure. The current kernel code has been tested as far as kernel 5.4.70.

I have no plans to to work on the LAT protocol. You may be able to use the older programs
but any kernel mode code will probably need changing.
John.
