#### Upgrade from Rev. 00 (A) to Rev. 01 #### and Firmware Update
The quickest way is to cut a single trace, and solder a wire; this change provides CP/M support to any Rev. 00 (A) board.
This change is needed if you planned to use CP/M support, otherwise no additional benefits.
These images show how to perform the upgrade to a Rev. 00 or (A) board; in the first image, solder a wire in the 6th pin counting form left side, to the SD card holder cut pin shown in the second photograph:

#### How to use CP/M support?
As well, in order to use CP/M support you need to install all the downloable files into a CPM folder (create CPM folder in your SD card root) and execute VT100.po
=>You will need to put the cpm files on your sd card (https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-platformio/wiki/CP-M-Support#are-there-any-archives-of-software) and load vt100.po from apps.irata.online/appleii/needswork tnfs
#### Why did you make it?
Its a customized version from the original shape of the Fujinet for Apple II in order to massively reduce its size, remove the need of an extender IDC20 cable; and convert the device into a tiny sized version.
As well, weight is extremely reduced, less than 50 grams. in order to be worldwide shipped to any international destination.
Printable case 3D file is included with the tracking number message,
#### What makes it special?
Tiny size, intended to create an easy to manipulate, to create a very confortable device that can be plugged into the back of your Apple II computer in order to enjoy internet services or classical disk emulation via SD card.
#### How to use it?
The Apple IIGS can autoboot: just turn it on and with a properly wired and firmware-loaded FN it should load the CONFIG screen.
Apple IIc cannot autoboot. To boot it ensure there is no disk in the internal drive (you can leave the drive connected). Then power on the Apple IIc. Hit CTRL-Reset to get to the ] prompt. Type PR#5 and the FN should load the CONFIG app. After you select a host and load a virtual slot you use ESC to boot. You must again CTRL-Reset and the PR#5 to 'boot' that virtual drive and the disk should load. Check your logs if it doesn't (keep the USB connected and watch the logging output real-time).
As well, view the provided video links in order to see the device under operation :)

#### Recommendations:
PLEASE NOTE: FujiNet is powered by the Espressif ESP32 chipset, which works on 2.4GHz WiFi networks ONLY. If you are using a "mixed" 2.4GHz/5GHz WiFi network (using both radio bands with the same SSID), you MAY have problems connecting your FujiNet device with other devices on the network.
Currently the Apple II implementation only works with HDV and PO images, so ensure you have those. More disk image formats for the Apple will be added in future firmware releases.
