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". https://a2central.com/2024/07/stephen-heumann-smb-fst/ https://github.com/sheumann/smbfst
