No Login prompt

Closed this issue 3 years ago · 5 comments

I installed apple2pi on a raspberry pi running Raspbian Stretch.
Connection is establish, utils like a2mon a2term are running fine but I have no login prompt on the Apple //.

Any clues ?

Hi Xavier You won’t see a login prompt on the Apple II itself. It is being used as a peripheral to the Pi. Kind of backward from how it normally works If what you type on the Apple shows up on the Pi, then you are good to go

Oh yes, I used it some years ago but forgot this :)

"If everything is configured correctly, you should be able to login to the Raspberry Pi"
I got this sentence wrong :) and as I'm connected to the pi through ssh I can't see the output of the virtual keyboard !

Many thanks for this great work, nice to see my Apple //e coming back alive after so long.

Is there a way to start it without Apple/Mouse preemption on the Apple 2 ?

Just don't boot the A2Pi floppy. But in order to communicate between the Pi and the Apple II requires the client program running on the Apple II.

And I had the same issue surface when trying out the program suite on an emulated Apple 2 via one of the ones from the Asimov collection. The screen confirmed that it was connected, and I could see the effects of accessing the disk drive from the Pi screen. I decided against_opening an issue here because I worked out that what I was seeing was the normal activities of the programs. Next step is to track down one of the old fellows perhaps a 2C to confirm that everything works.
