@azekill_DIABLO, please note I did some rewrites today to get proper handling between system booted from floppy or hdd. The API documentation I plan to update tomorrow. In short: app:get_storage_ref() does not exists anymore. Instead you have mtos.bdev:get_app_storage('ram', 'calculator') for example.

So please use the version from the development branch or my master.

PS: The Pentium 3 can boot the modern OS from floppy now, but without mails because no network card available ;-)

Looking at those marvellous computers, I can't help myself but thinking an Amstrad PCW8512 (with its CP/M+ system) would be a fine addition to this. And I would definately download this mod... :D

@azekill_DIABLO, just set the "custom_launcher" in hardware definition to yours and then create a new launcher using the default one for behold. Nice to see an other dev on lua-site for this mos ;-)))

This is sweet! I use Minetest in the classroom with elementary students who are getting used to me introducing WIP Mods... lol. They might just go crazy for this. I'll be testing today for the first time in class. This is a very cool feature tho. Thank you!

Hopefully the last big thing. The items handling is implemented. This PR contains:

- A lot of API breaks and enhancements
- Floppy/USB-Stick removable Item #46
- Storage framework and removable manager app #17
- Different capabilities each computer definition (hdd, floppy, usb, net, floppy-boot)
- Backup/Restore Computer on USB-Stick in removable manager app
- Old computers can boot from floppy
- Save as/load file dialog
- Support for per theme node coloring (Palette still missing) #34
- Sticky Notepad App: can save/load files on hdd and on floppy/usb-stick #43
- Mail-App: Simple select the mail receiver from dropdown

I finally got to try this with a full class this week. The kids loved it but it was crashing when the email was accessed (might have been old minetests client - checking) and it wasn't sending/saving all the messages. I can always shutdown access to the email until such time as its 'ready for prime-time' as the kids love it and have wanted something like this since I discontinued the use of the decorative computer mod I had.

Over all - this is some great stuff and we (my classes and I) are anxiously following the development of your mod. You guys are great!

I will download and update regularly.

Yes, please check the client version. It should be at least the current stable 0.4.16
Emails uses the mod-meta that is new in 0.4.16. The same for item-meta used to save data in items.

I'll bet thats it. Every so often I update the clients with the latest version I building with, and I am guessing that at least some of them ore older. Thanks for all your work!

Ok - this sounds like a dumb question, but is there an easy way to know if I have the latest version?
