Igen durva kiegészítő van születőben Commodore 64-hez, a Comet+ képességei megdöbbentőek, az alábbi listát érdemes végigböngészni, vagy a honlapon tallózni. Nekem a wi-fi lehetőség tetszett a legjobban, komolyan mondom, ez csúcs. A prototípus elkészült, igényeket lehet leadni a honlapon.
és a kártya paraméterei:
Wi-fi (the first commercially available wi-fi 802.11b/g device for Commodore computers)
IEC to Internet (LOAD files directly from the Internet over the serial / IEC bus)
Access any Internet destination
Micro SD card with FAT-32 file system – access D64s like a disk drive
Emulated disk drive (device # selectable to access D64s or other content stored on the on-board SD card or cached in the flash RAM)
User port to Internet at 38.4K baud (faster speeds are expected, utilizing the C64s ability to do parallel data transfers)
Internet BBS capable (no external computer required), compatible with existing BBS systems and terminal programs
Open-source firmware, based on the Arduino development system
Customizable hardware and firmware (on-board breadboard for adding components and creating new peripherals)
Standard RS-232c DE9 interface to communicate with other RS-232 devices
RS-232 port can be used by other retro computers, offering all of same the Comet+ features and capabilities
Arduino controlled: Create your own sketches to access the different parts individually or combine to make your own peripheral (see the ideas list for possible configurations)
Comet+ can be used stand-alone as a disk drive, or an Internet Modem or can be plugged in to the User Port on the C64, C128, Vic-20, Plus/4 or Commodore 16 for additional use and functionality
4MB on-board user-programmable flash RAM (permanently store D64s or other data)
64K on-board user-programmable static RAM
4K on-board EEPROM
RAM programmable via the IEC or User ports
On-board TCP/IP stack (no need to use a software solution)
Compatible with multiple Commodore or other retro computers (IEC Bus, User Port, RS-232 port, and headers to comm lines for custom wires/ports)
Compatible with other Serial-to-Ethernet software
Compatible with the original Comet64 specification
Affordable upgrade option from the Comet64 Internet Modem
