Forgot to post here as well, I have TashTalk 2 RPi hat kits back in stock over at my Ko-fi shop! They're now (optionally) available with stackable headers: And fully assembled/tested:

To anyone who was waiting, I have some TashTalk hat kits back in stock, and I'm ordering some parts to put together some more.

Hm. I've done too much wheel-reinvention in my time to cast stones, but I certainly wish they were writing it in Python... =)

The protocol in question is AURP, documented here. Implementing it in TashRouter would be a fairly significant undertaking, but should be doable... it'd likely just be another subclass of Port, alongside the ones that support TashTalk, LToUDP, and EtherTalk. If anyone's interested in taking it...

Sudden unexpected uptick in popularity since the whole GlobalTalk thing came about. =) I have PCBs on order, once they're here I'll be able to make more kits and will update this thread.

Aha, I was wondering why my entire stock of TashTalk hats and kits suddenly sold out... I've got some more PCBs on the way so I'll be able to put together some more kits when those arrive. @mejs Thanks for the blog post! One detail, though, it's not TashTalk that has a wifi problem - as I...

TashTalk 2 Raspberry Pi Hat kits are back in stock again (I reordered PCBs, so hopefully the stock will last a bit longer this time). For those who'd rather a finished product than a kit, I'm also offering them assembled and tested now, testing the waters to see how much interest there is.

Some updates: TashTalk 2 Hat kits are back in stock at my ko-fi store! I've made up kits from the last PCBs I have, but if these run out, I'll order more. TashTalk v2.1.3 and v1.0.1 have been released! These releases put in place a fix for a smattering of issues that have been reported...

If you're still interested in this (two years later, sorry for the thread necromancy), you might find TashRouter interesting - it's a full-fledged router, not merely a bridge, which is capable of connecting to TashTalk directly as well as EtherTalk and LToUDP. It works well installed on a...

For those of us not lucky enough to own a Shiva or a GatorBox... Introducing... TashRouter! Elevator Pitch It's an AppleTalk router written in Python that runs on modern hardware and supports LocalTalk (via TashTalk and/or LToUDP) and EtherTalk. Project Status Ready for some real-world...

I had a few almost-complete TashTalk 2.x kits (just missing the RS422 transceiver) that I decided to complete as part of a larger Digikey order... anyone interested? Still just $12 plus shipping, shoot me a DM.

I should make the point clear that the PIC16F1825 firmware is deprecated at this point and anyone building a device should be using the PIC16F1704 and its associated firmware. I would have pointed this out to CayMac Vintage, except I didn't know they were selling TashTwenty devices until someone...

So I've been doing some work on the IBM PC 5150's little-used cassette interface lately, and I've made a couple of projects that might be useful on the off chance that someone out there besides me cares about it. =) https://github.com/lampmerchant/cass5150 - cass5150, a Python library for...

Aaaaand they've all been snapped up! Anyone else who's interested, be sure to contact me anyway, if there's enough interest, I'll make more.

This project might be old news by now, but there have been a couple of new developments and I haven't announced it on TD yet, so here I go. (Re-)Introducing... TashTalk! Elevator Pitch It's a LocalTalk interface, contained entirely within a single Microchip PIC12F1840 (8 pins, ~$1.50)...
