I just put together a PiDP-8 computer simulator.
(https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-8) It's
pretty cool and is helping me re-live my high school youth.
Right now, I ssh into the PiDP8 via wireless from any computer in
my local network. However, I'd also like to have a hard-wired
network connection to an old Eee netbook terminal so I can easily
take the thing on the road and show it off to others.
So, I want to:
- Keep the PiDP8 on the existing home wireless network so I can
ssh in as required and run updates
- Keep the Eee PC netbook on the existing home wireless network
so I can update it as required
- Use a cross-over network cable to connect the EE directly to
the PiDP8 (no router between them) so I can telnet/ssh into the
PiDP8 simulator, regardless of whether either of them is
connected to the wireless.
Here's my current idea:
- Keep the existing wireless setups on both the PiDP8 and the
Eee (set by configuration files, since both are text-only
non-GUI systems)
- Assign an IP address on a different subnet to the ethernet
port on the PiDP8
- Assign an IP address on the same alternate subnet to the
ethernet port on the Eee
- Telnet/ssh via the ethernet cross-over from the Eee to the
PiDP8
But will this work? Wouldn't the system try to send the
telnet/ssh via the wireless as the default route?
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
