I was browsing around some of my favorite Apple II projects to see what's
new, and I saw that the new A2osX Unix-like operating system is now in
release candidate!

https://github.com/burniouf/A2osX#news

Here is the latest news:


2019-12-05 - Media have been updated based on Build 1784.

2019-10-31 - Media have been updated based on Build 1694. This version fixes
issues with Piping of commands, adds new READ functionality. Please note,
KM.NSC is no longer loaded by default on any media. If you have a No Slot
Clock in your system, you should move the file KM.NSC from ./SYS/KM into
./SYS which will make it load on boot.

2019-10-26 - Starting with Build 1675, the SH(ell) command TIME has been
removed and the DATE command will now return both the Date and Time.
Additionally, if DATE command has been updated to support options for
returning formatted strings with just the portions of the date and time you
desire. Consult the Shell Developers Guide for syntax.

2019-10-24 - Created STABLE images with Build 1669 with improvements to TCP
networking. There is also a new DEBUG 140k disk image. See the media guide
for more info.

2019-10-22 - Updated RC images to Build 1664 which fixed RESTART SYSTEM bug
on //GS.

2019-10-19 - Updated RC images to Build 1653 which fixed bugs in CUT and
includes a patched version of ProDOS 2.03 to correct year display for
ThunderClocks.

2019-10-18 - Updated A2osX Release Candidate based on Build No 1650 is now
available and can be found in our Media directory. In addition, a new disk
image TDBOOT has been created that is preconfigured to automatically load
Uthernet2 driver, start network services and launch the TelnetD server
process (hence name TD for TelnetD Boot).

2019-10-15 - The first A2osX Release Candidate is now available and can be
found in our Media directory.

it's pretty cool but they need to make that double-lores splash screen stay up longer :)

I really like to use the Telnet function of a release from month ago - but it’s working very good.
Hope they will add a very good manual as it was a lot to learn how to adjust and work with A2osX.

I am having a problem with network setup.

A2osX-SH 0.93

root@/HD1/A@OSX/root/$ insdrv uthernet2.drv
INSDRV:Loading uthernet2.drv...
Uthernet2/W5100 Driver.
Uthernet2/W5100 Installed as Device : eth4
root@/HD1/A2OSX/root/$ networkd libtcpip libetalk
NETWORD:Bound To Device : /dev/eth4
NETWORKD:Loading libtcpip ...
NETWORKD:Loading libetalk ...
NETWORKD:Running ipconfig ...
IPCONFIG:Reading ${ROOT}etc/hostname...OK.
IPCONFIG:Reading ${ROOT}etc/tcpip.conf...Not Found. [46]
IPCONFIG:Reading ${ROOT}etc/hosts...OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
OK.
IPCONFIG:Searching for DHCP servers...
IPCONFIG:Time Out [01].
  
(system is locked up/hung,need to reboot)

My HOSTS file contains added lines using my rpi Linux /etc/hosts file as example.

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 A2OSX-host

Where is A2OSX ipconfig looking for DHCP server?  How do I specify where to look?  I guessing it should be my apple time maching router 192.168.1.1.

Can anyone help me?  Please.

Steve,

Can you tell me what build you are running?  There should be an ISSUE file in the ETC directory that if your cat it will tell you the build number.  If you are running the "RC/Release Candidate" Builds, can you you try one of the stable media.  Did networking ever work?  What else is in the system (what cards are in what slots)?  FYI, we have a slack forum with a support channel if you would like to join, I can send you an invite and there is some real time response (well depending on TZ).

Patrick
