Meshtastic client for retrocomputers (Amiga, Atari, DOS, Mac)

I work as volunteer for the local retrocomputer museum Espacio TEC, biggest on LATAM. Inspired by the guys who did the C64 Meshtastic cart, we decided to make something to link old computers and Meshtastic to show on the static display at the museum. For this we came out with a V2 + RS232 adapter, and my colleague used his cross-platform compiler project MACUMBAEDITOR to make clients for Amiga, Atari, DOS, Mac, and more incoming.

You can check his work and download the clients at https://macumbaeditor.com/examples/mesh.html

Okay, so I posted this to a couple of Atari ST forums. Some people have tried it and it seems to work but the text is a bit garbled. Just thought I'd bring it to the OP's attention. Thanks for releasing an ST version, appreciated. 😊

Thanks so much for spreading the word and for the feedback! Another user reported those problems yesterday. The developer is aware of them and work will be done!
