KuroBox/HG
Been playing with my kurobox/hg, its pretty cool little embedded linux NAS box.
Currently the only thing it serves me up is being a samba share holding all my infocom story files (i have a full archive of all the different versions)…
Id love to use rendezvous or whatever its called to write a serverice that lets you find and play IF. like mt-daapd for itunes. Use zeroconf to advertise a service. browse by game type (zmachine, tads, agt etc), genre, version etc etc etc. lots of nice metadata…
One thing I need to do is update the box, the stock install is an oooold linux 2.4 setup. The biggest hurdle is the kernel resides in flash and has some secret flash bootloader that nobody understands or has access to.. The two biggest projects in the kuro/hg world right now are trying to replace the loader with uboot and getting a 2.16 kernel working properly…
I just need to get a cross tool chain for gcc 2.95.3 working and I can start hacking away....
