This is all very hilarious, but I'm actually quite serious about the effort to get my favourite 8-bit machine from the 80's - the Oric-1/Atmos/Telestrat machines (which also use 6502-based CPU's) - onto the Internet.
So, actually this could be quite useful - especially if we treat the machine state of the local system as transmutable, to be transferred up to "6502Cloud" for execution later. This could indeed be the beginning of an Oric-1/Atmos revolution in Internet communications!
(Disclaimer: TODO: Give the Oric-1/Atmos a Modem/Wifi device ..)
- Gracana 9y agoGet a Wifi232 card when there's another run. They're wifi modems that connect via RS232 and provide a hayes command set interface.
- mmjaa 9y agoYeah, thanks for the advice - I'm considering a lower-tech solution though, using just a plain ol' ESP32 board, wired up to the ol' Oric. Actually thats not the hard part - once this is working, we'll still have to write a TERM app for the Oric, which is all the fun I suppose ..
- 6502cloud 9y agoI have plans on getting my c64 to talk to 6502cloud, to do some parallel processing. Why? Because I can.
