I really wanna join the FujiNet project to help out in any way I can. They are supposedly working on Apple IIe and C=64 support - which I could take total advantage of.. and, can build a FujiNet for those platforms now; they're just not baked like the Atari FujiNet is.

While I'm hunting for an Atari 800, XL or other, I have an Atari 400 available for VERY cheap [$40...] - so I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on it. Its a known-good machine - only - so I've also located a pack of 5-6 cartridges for it; BASIC, a few games and some other stuff. 

I'm gonna source all those things and order [or build] an Atari FujiNet.
