Stephen Heumann releases SMB FST for IIgs

Ken Gagne at A2Central.com reports:

Coinciding with his KansasFest 2024 presentation, Stephen Heumann has
released his SMB FST for GS/OS. With this file system translator installed,
any Apple IIGS (physical or virtual) with a Marinetti connection can use the
Server Message Block protocol to connect to file servers that are compatible
with NTLMv2 (Kerberos is not supported), including Windows, macOS, Samba,
Solaris, and illumos file servers.

The SMB protocol has been around since the 1980s, and support for the Apple
IIGS has long been sought by retrocomputing enthusiasts such as Eric
Shepherd, who in August 2013 announced the S-Prize as a financial incentive
to develop an SMB FST.

At KansasFest, Heumann fulfilled that promise by demoing an emulated IIGS
using the FST to open, read, write, and copy files from remote servers.
Accomplishing this feat required Heumann update ORCA/C to support 64-bit
integers and develop cryptography routines for the 65816.

Among the inspirations Heumann cited were not only the S-Prize, but also
Kelvin Sherlock‘s KansasFest 2018 presentation, 
"So You Want to Write an FST".
