FujiNet VirtualMachine

Using the FujiNet VirtualMachine makes it possible to try out a FujiNet device on either an Atari or Apple II computer without having to purchase any hardware.

VM Features

The VM is built as a VirtualBox OVA appliance file which should be able to be importad into VirtualBox version 6 or 7. The VM includes the following functionality currently:

• Debian 12 Linux with the XFCE 4 desktop environment
• Altirra Atari emulator installed & run via Wine (Desktop Launcher)
• AppleWin Apple II emulator installed using native Linux port (Desktop Launcher)
• FujiNet PC for Atari plus netsio bridge emulator for connecting Altirra to the virtual FujiNet (starts automatically)
• FujiNet PC for Apple for connecting AppleWin to the virtual FujiNet (starts automatically)
• Epiphany web browser for connecting to the virtual FujiNet device's web UI

Importing the VM

The easiest way to import the OVA into VirtualBox is by using the GUI:

1. From the File menu, select Import Appliance...

2. Select the OVA file that was downloaded & click Next

   

3. Optionally change the Machine Base Folder on the following page to where you'd like to store the imported VM. Most other items on this page are just informational & can be left as is.

   

4. Click Finish & wait for the VM to be imported

Once the VM has been imported the various settings can be customized to your liking. However, the VM should work without any modifications. If more memory is available it will make a noticeable performance difference to increase the VM's allotted RAM as much as possible.

See other technical notes in the documentation available in the project's repo at https://vm.fujinet.online.

Usage

When the VM is started it will boot & login automatically to the desktop. The following user credentials have been setup but the user has the ability to use unrestricted sudo without the need of a password.

• Username: fujinet
• Password: online

To start either Altirra or AppleWin, simply double-click on the appropriate Desktop Launcher icons. While it's possible to run both at the same time, performance may suffer significantly.

To manage FujiNet hosts & mounts use the virtual FujiNet's web UI's. The web UI will only work once the appropriate emulator has been started. Open the web browser application & navigate to one of the following URLs:

• Atari - http://localhost:8000
• Apple - http://localhost:8001
