  Here's the link to the server: http://c64-webserver.tplinkdns.com http://c64-webserver.tplinkdns.com

    It’s been about 20+ years since I last saw a webpage served by a humble C64. Amazingly, this one did indeed load after a few seconds. If it weren’t for the noise from loading the page from disk, I’d be tempted to set up my own at home.

      I used to host a little site on an 8 bit homecomputer; it ran from a ramdisk so it would not load from floppy. I guess you will need to mod (mine was a Japanese machine with 256kb memory mapped memory which I controlled with a webserver (well… it could only do GET) written in Pascal & some z80 asm) by adding memory, but still, it would be fun. Let me dust off mine if I can find it and see if it still works.

        Your comment made me buy a whopping 512kB GeoRAM expansion on eBay, just to be sure :)

      If it weren’t for the noise from loading the page from disk, I’d be tempted to set up my own at home. Running a BBS out of my bedroom with three 1541's and a 1571 taught me to sleep through anything. It wasn't until much later that someone figured out a patch for the 1541 DOS that would keep it from dropping the head at each track between multiple track movements, making the drive almost silent. That would have been awesome.
