From Github:

I have been building a GEM-based LLM chat client for the Atari ST in GFA BASIC 3.5E. What if an Atari ST could talk to a modern LLM? Not a fake retro skin in a browser, no emulator (though I love Hatari!), but my actual old Atari Mega STE. GFA BASIC was developed by Frank Ostrowski in 1986 and was hugely popular among ST users at the time. So I chose it in the hope that there might be still some resources out there. Did I learn GFA Basic properly for this project? No, but i dug out all the old docs and books and forced codex to learn it. Ha,ha. Poor thing.

The setup :

  • Atari Mega STE in high-res monochrome
  • GFA BASIC 3.5E on the Atari side
  • Raspberry Pi and python 3.12 on the other side
  • Nullmodem serial cable (StarTech 30cm USB Nullmodem Seriell Adapterkabel, USB-A auf RS232 DB9)
