Announcing the latest update to PERQemu! Version 0.5.5 is a feature release that adds several new capabilities:
* An initial whack at implementing the Ethernet driver (OIO)
* Canon laser printer interface (OIO)
* CLI screenshots are re-enabled
* Numerous little bug fixes and enhancements, documentation updates, etc.
In addition, new source and binary floppies for the CPrint package for POS F.15 are available in the PERQmedia archive as well. The bundled hard disk images distributed with PERQemu have been updated so Canon printing is available out of the box; other OS images will be updated eventually.
More information about the new features is available in the User Guide, and copious notes in the Docs folder of the source tree.
The original PERQemu is here:
https://github.com/jdersch/PERQemu
The v0.5.5 release (binary) and source links are here:
https://github.com/skeezicsb/PERQemu/releases
The "experiments" branch where you can follow ongoing, albeit glacial, development:
https://github.com/skeezicsb/PERQemu/tree/experiments
NOTE: As Google says they're shutting down posting to Usenet (er, "Groups") this will be the last PERQemu update announced here, unless I dig up some old NNTP software and find someone to exchange a UUCP feed with over my landline. (You can look up those terms as you're searching for what a "glacier" used to be.)
If you want to keep up with the emulator or all things PERQ, I'm easy to find on Github, Mastodon, BuyMeACoffee or even the googly email place. So long, Usenet, I hardly knew ye.
Share and enjoy!
