ACML Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 https://www.cbmstuff.com/proddetail.php?prod=WiModem232OLED Looks like an awesome idea. A wifi modem that can hook right up to your 850 or P: R: Connection. Fully Hayes compatible. Anyone have one running on an 8-bit Atari? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Both Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) It is CBM stuff !? Aren't you scared, you will end up in hell? No, I don't use exactly this model, but it will probably work. There are some other solutions for the Atari 8bit here on Atari age. You may search for "esp8266" or WiFi.

_The Doctor__ Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 It's been improved over some of the original stuff, as it has hardware flow control and states for use on any computer. Not fond of the update method though.. runs back to mommy for updates, I'd like control over that sort of thing.. Looks good as I read. Little high in price. I wonder what the oled splash screen looks like... can you select your own splash or wall paper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGeezer Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 The wiMODEM 232 w/OLED is just one of these eBay Auction -- Item Number: 362406257089 with a level shifter and uses the Zimodem firmware that incorporates RTS/CTS flow control. I Plan on making one for RS-232 and one that uses the SIO port... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimDrew Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Not hardly. The WiModem232 is my own hardware design and my own firmware, written from scratch. In order to make the communications truly asynchronous (so file transfers work perfectly) I also had to re-write part of the ESP8266 library. There are literally hundreds of hours into the WiModem/WiModem232 coding to make it 100% fully Hayes compliant. This is why people can (and do) use it for running a BBS. You might also want to note the timeline in history. The WiModem for the C64 came out years ago, long before other solutions started appearing. The WiModem and WiModem232 are commercial products with lifetime warranties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Thomas Cherryhomes (tschak909) has been working with someone on a ESP based WiModem solution that plugs into cartridge interface that will remove a lot of the CIO bottlenecks caused by the SIO and the 850...
