  1. "Dialed" into the Mac Studio wirelessly across the room for some IRCing on old hardware, here as the snow falls. ❄️

    I had to modify the plist and shell config scripts I'd setup on the Mac since "upgrading" to macOS 26 Tahoe to get this working without gripes in the terminal.

  6. @paulrickards I assume something based on the @[email protected] / with a matching -HAT would be able to to it.

    Espechally since that is easy to obtain and relatively cheap (compared to a / which were used for the adaptor and are still not widely available at )...

    The tricky part would be , not ....

  7. @paulrickards I assume something based on the @Raspberry_Pi #PiPico / #RP2040 with a matching #Ethernet-HAT would be able to to it.

    Espechally since that #uC is easy to obtain and relatively cheap (compared to a #Pi0 / #Pi0W which were used for the #DreamPi #Dialup adaptor and are still not widely available at #MSRP)...

    The tricky part would be #Firmware, not #Hardware....

  9. @blakespot Great write up! I'll be selling a small batch of #WiFi232 modems this Saturday at the VCF/System Source Swap Meet outside of Baltimore. What doesn't sell will go in my online shop afterwards. Cheers!

  10. Considering attending the swap meet this Saturday. Currently sold out of #WiFi232 modems so I’m making one of the last batches for a while. Also have lots of #C64 stuff I could sell. Are you going?

    (See previous post for swap meet details.)

  11. Restocked a small quantity of #WiFi232 serial modems in my shop. Connect your retro computer or terminal to the world of the BBS again!

  12. So, now I just need to figure out what I want to do with it. And maybe upgrade the RAM (and ROM maybe). Is eBay the best place for memory?

    Also, to my shame, I can’t find a mini-DIN to DB25 anywhere. So, will need to wait for that to be delivered before I can hook up the #WiFi232 I just got (from mastodon.social/@paulrickards/).

  13. Ok, I wrote an #AREXX script that uses a #WiFi232 modem to grab the current time from NTP and sets the #Amiga clock. First time in almost 25 years since I wrote something in AREXX!

  14. Incidentally, connecting my #Wifi232 to My Apple IIc will have to wait a few days :(

  15. @paulrickards just got the #Wifi232 in the mail! Can’t wait to play with it 😊 thank you!!

  16. Yes, the #WiFi232 works on the Amiga CDTV running A-Max 2.5, booted into Mac System 6.0.8 running ZTerm v0.85 31 Oct 1989, communicating over the serial port. 😅
