   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".
