What a great concept, made into reality. A tiny little board, that plugs directly into the CIA socket on a c128. Thus intercepting all the important signals that would normally go to the User Port.
This board hosts the standard WiFi module with the wifi modem firmware that is used in the other WiFi modem projects, so it's compatible with existing terminal software. This little puppy takes up no additional space on the disk, requires no external power, requires no wires running into your computer at all. And yet it gets you onto modern standard networks and lets you use your preferred terminal emulator software (with a SwiftLink driver) to get on BBSes.
In my opinion, this is a quintessential device that characterizes the renaissance of retro computing.
Someone on Twitter commented that the price, at £60.00 ($78 USD) seems a bit high. But, I disagree. Retro hardware is produced in very small quantities, we should be so lucky to even have the hardware options we have.
Next, high prices for what amounts to hobbyist hardware is not new. I distinctly recall a friend back in the 90s being astonished at how expensive a CMD FD drive was. "Just for a floppy drive?!" he asked. No, the embedded PC floppy mechanism was as cheap as any other, what we paid for was the joy and delight of having that hardware hooked up to our favorite computer.
This does bring me to my last thought. The description on Pyrofer's Project's site only mentions its use on a c128. I'm not sure why it wouldn't be compatible with a C64. That's something I'll look into, and if I find out more I'll update these notes.
