[9front] 8-bit 9p

[Glenn Holmer]

Has the 9p protocol ever been implemented on an 8-bit machine (like a
6502)? Assuming an 8-bit machine with a network adapter (which is common
nowadays), would such a thing even be possible?

Echoline's ninepea library for the arduino 8bit atmega 2650 is an example.

Sigrid wrote 9c, a "Low level 9p client and server." It looks very
embeddable. I believe I one asked her this question and she told me
that indeed it can be used on a micro so don't see why you couldn't
run it on a 8bit machine with a uart or ethernet.

Correction:  arduino mega 1280. not 2650.

Though it is likely portable since they are similar.

i did have a 9p server running on a 16bit embedded system 10years ir so ago. that was easy, just a port of u9fs.

it has been a long time since i used 6502s and 8085s, the embedded world is an arm in the circles i move in.
