    Posting a public follow up as email appears not to have been received.

    I see that GitHub allows donations to support Stephen however it requires
    entry & storage of credit card details. Does Stephen have a PayPal account?
    I have viewed the s-prize pledges and hope that people will back them up.

    Regards

    Donations through GitHub Sponsors are the most convenient mechanism for
    me, so I'd prefer to have people donate there if they are able to. If
    someone wants to donate but cannot use GitHub Sponsors, contact me
    privately and we may be able to work out an alternative.

    What about those that don't have a Github account?

    Ken Gagne at A2Central.com reports:

    Coinciding with his KansasFest 2024 presentation, Stephen Heumann has
    released his SMB FST for GS/OS. With this file system translator installed,
    any Apple IIGS (physical or virtual) with a Marinetti connection can use the Server Message Block protocol to connect to file servers that are compatible with NTLMv2 (Kerberos is not supported), including Windows, macOS, Samba, Solaris, and illumos file servers.

    The SMB protocol has been around since the 1980s, and support for the Apple IIGS has long been sought by retrocomputing enthusiasts such as Eric
    Shepherd, who in August 2013 announced the S-Prize as a financial incentive
    to develop an SMB FST.

    At KansasFest, Heumann fulfilled that promise by demoing an emulated IIGS
    using the FST to open, read, write, and copy files from remote servers. Accomplishing this feat required Heumann update ORCA/C to support 64-bit integers and develop cryptography routines for the 65816.

    Among the inspirations Heumann cited were not only the S-Prize, but also
    Kelvin Sherlock‘s KansasFest 2018 presentation,
    "So You Want to Write an FST".
