From Github:

I have been building a GEM-based LLM chat client for the Atari ST in GFA BASIC 3.5E. What if an Atari ST could talk to a modern LLM? Not a fake retro skin in a browser, no emulator (though I love Hatari!), but my actual old Atari Mega STE. GFA BASIC was developed by Frank Ostrowski in 1986 and was hugely popular among ST users at the time. So I chose it in the hope that there might be still some resources out there. Did I learn GFA Basic properly for this project? No, but i dug out all the old docs and books and forced codex to learn it. Ha,ha. Poor thing.

The setup :

• Atari Mega STE in high-res monochrome
• GFA BASIC 3.5E on the Atari side
• Raspberry Pi and python 3.12 on the other side
• Nullmodem serial cable (StarTech 30cm USB Nullmodem Seriell Adapterkabel, USB-A auf RS232 DB9)

[ Atariscne.org - News ] New version of FreeMiNT distro

Krupkaj writes:

After six months, Michal has released a new version of his FreeMiNT distribution for 32-bit Atari computers.

This release uses the HDDriver demo as its disk driver, with Uwe providing a special version specifically for the distribution.

A notable new addition is stool, a MiNT tool that replaces the uiptool utility known from TOS. It provides web-based access to Atari disks.

All included GEM/TOS tools are now stored on the GEMDOS C: partition. The distribution also features an experimental 060 kernel, improved SCSI write support, RAW access through devfs, and plenty of other improvements.

The image is available on GitHub.
