2.5x faster over-air speed! 2x faster CPU 7x the RAM Individual LEDs for Tx/Rx/RTS/CTS/DSR/DTR/DCD states Based on the same reliable code that has made the WiModem family the standard for the past 8 years! Uses more common micro-USB connector

The WiModem232 Pro is next generation internet modem for any computer with a RS-232 interface port that emulates a standard Hayes compatible modem. Just plug the WiModem232 Pro into the “serial” port and connect to BBS's all over the world or run a BBS of your own!

The WiModem232 Pro requires access to your local router and supports easy WiFi setup, including WPS one-button setup, manual SSID entry, or an easy to use WiFi portal on the your smart phone or tablet.

Firmware updates are done using a simple command that fetches the latest firmware from the CBMSTUFF.COM server and updates the WiModem232 Pro - all without ever having to remove the WiModem232 Pro from your computer!

The WiModem232 Pro hardware supports 75 baud to 230400 baud and every possible parity, start bit, and stop bit configuration. Note: the terminal software you are using determines the maximum baud rate.

The WiModem232 Pro requires external 5v power. Connect any 5v source (PC, phone charger, etc.) using a cable having a micro USB connector.

The WiModem232 Pro controls ALL of the standard RS-232 lines: Rx/Tx, RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR, and DCD all at the same time. This means that you can use the WiModem232 Pro to run a BBS!

A DB25 to DB9 or RS-232 gender changer may be required for your particular computer. These are available separately. The WiModem232 Pro uses a DB25 female connector (plugging into a DB25 male port).

You can use two WiModem232 Pro units together in NULL-MODEM mode. This allows you to plug one into your computer and one into any RS232 compatible device (such as a printer, plotter, or another computer) and use the two devices together without the normally required NULL-MODEM cable! It's a wireless and direct connection and no router is required!

This version of the WiModem232 Pro comes with the full color, hires TFT screen and resin 3D printed case.

Atari ST (all models) Commodore Amiga (all models, A1000 requires gender changer) IBM PC (all models wtih DB9 or DB25 - may require converter or gender changer) Apple 8 bit (all models, requires proper cable) Apple Mac (all models with AppleTalk/Modem port, requires proper cable) Geneve Tandy 100/102 Atari 400, 800, 800XL Colleco Adam TI99-4/A BBC Micro RS-232 dumb terminals …and many others! https://www.cbmstuff.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=113

CCGMS 2021 *FREE* $0.00Price Download CCGMS 2021 Here. Info from Alwyz: CCGMS 2021 Released!

Allows you to connect to your favorite Commodore BBSs via telnet. Supports speeds from 300 to 9600 baud. For use with Commodore 64 up to 9600 baud, a Commodore128 up to 2400 baud, Vic-20 up to 1200 baud, and also a Plus 4 - I have no personal experience with this one.

This new design features switches to enable and disable 9600 baud to make using with your 128 simple and easy! Also has a switch on the right to allow modem to be powered from and external USB source, like the ATOM with USB. If you want to power from a USB then the switch on the right needs to be in the ON position. In the OFF position the modem is getting power from the Commodore. Powering from USB will eliminate any chance of interference as some have experienced, especially with the Reloaded MK2 motherboards.

If you are using this modem with a 128 and 1581 or 1571 then you will need to turn off the 9600baud switch on the modem (left switch). Then you will need to skip the below steps for setting up 9600 baud. Instead you will leave the modem type at userport and set the baud rate to 2400. If you are NOT using a 128 with a 1581 or 1571 then you will be able to use 9600 baud.

• Plug the modem into your Commodore user port with the chip side up and then power up your Commodore. If you do not see a solid blue light on the modem then it is not getting any power and you will need to trouble shoot your Commodore. I suggest cleaning the contacts of the userport first.

• If using a commodore 64 or 128 is 64 mode, Load CCGMS 2017. If you are using a 128 in 128 mode Load a term program of your choosing and follow the setup instructions according to the program you use. (I am assuming you know how to load a program from media such as a floppy disk or SD Card)

• Select modem type as User Port, and select 300 baud. You must do it in this order. If you select the baud rate first and then the modem type second the baud will change when the modem type is selected!

• Enter your ssid and password with the following terminal commands: at$ssid=ssid and at$pass=password (Your Password and SSID CAN NOT contain any special characters. For best results SSID and Password should only use lower case letters and numbers.)

• Type atc1 to connect. You may have to do this a few times to get it to connect

• Type the commands at&p0 then at&k1 . Without doing this 9600 baud will lock up your Commodore.

• Press Return to go back to terminal. At this point if your terminal will not respond to any type of input, you will want to start all over. This time instead of changing the modem to up9600 and the baud to 9600, leave the modem type at userport and change the baud to 2400 and then continue. up9600 is a hack that tricks the userport into going 9600 baud and in my experience has issues on some machines, WHY? I could not tell you. Sometime if you repeat the setup steps several times the modem will allow 9600 baud.

This is a WiFi modem for the User Port of the Commodore 64 and Commodore 128 It can connect to your wifi router and “call” BBS from internet.

There is a modem reset button and 2 micro switches that allow to disable UP9600 hack to be able to use the modem in C128 mode together with 1571 drive by falling back to 2400bps, if there is no 1571 drive connected it can work in C128 mode with UP9600 hack enabled. The second micro switch is to enable or disable powering the device from computer itself so it can be used with external usb power incase you have instability because of power supply.

There are instructions included for configuring CCGMS 2021 terminal client and configuring the modem for use in a C64.

There are a TON of active BBSes for Commodore Computers and new active developing software clients for it like CCGMS 2021 With this you can connect and re-live the “internet” as it was back then :)

This Wifi modem is based on the Strikelink firmware by Alwyz which is the active developer of the famous CCGMS client for Commodore 64 and the case is 3D printed. If you want another colour for the case, please message me and I will print a case with your colour preference.

Up for auction is an Amiga 500 Parallel port Ethernet adapter. It is powered by a 5 volt DC CENTER positive 2.1mm plug power supply that IS NOT INCLUDED. You can NOT power the unit by the USB connector on the Nano. I removed Diode D1 as it was dropping the voltage down by .5 volts and causing power up / connection problems. I only created the Parallel port circuit board, I didn't do any of the programming for the firmware in the Nano, See this guys site for all install instructions. You will need to get the 'plipbox.device' driver from the link below and copy the driver file to the Amiga in to the proper directory the rest has been done for you. : http://lallafa.de/blog/amiga-projects/plipbox/ for any questions.

You will need to get your own TCP/IP stack software, it doesn't come with a tcp/ip stack and miami,roadshow,amitcp,etc work

This has ONLY BEEN TESTED on an Amiga 500, It's all I have currently so I'm not selling it as “WORKING” on any other type of Amiga Parallel port.

It is a COMPLETE Unit with Pre-Programmed Ardunio Nano with the 0.6 firmware from the above link.

NEW in v2021: Punter stack and Unlisted dialer bugs have been eliminated Support in autodialer for Zimodem and related WiFi device firmware that prefer an ATD prefix to ATDT. As always, Easyflash cartridge version with save/load phonebook from cart option available To set up your Ultimate for Swiftlink emulation: – ACIA / Swiftlink on. – DE00/NMI – CTS Active (low) – Command interface off if you want to use the 64k REU Buffer. (looks like there may be conflicts) – Cartridges off (Swiftlink uses DE00 cartridge area) – In CCGMS, Set modem to Swift / Turbo DE, and baud rate to 38400. What is here: Pretty much anything you could want in a modern C64 Terminal program 40 column Color Graphics Petscii / Ascii / Ansi terminal modes Punter / Multi-Punter / Xmodem / Xmodem-CRC File Transfers Support for User Port / UP9600 / Swiftlink serial devices Baud Rates from 300-38.4k 17XX REU Buffer 64k Support Easyflash Cartridge Phonebook / Configuration load/save Autodialer phonebook to store all of your BBS addresses, user names, and passwords DOS Wedge with support for drives #8-30 Macros, Screenshots, Themes, and lots of little extras NTSC and PAL compatible for proper user port timing. What isn’t here: RR-Net Support. IDE64 Compatibility. 80 Column Emulation. Protocols for XModem-1k / YModem / ZModem / HModem Support for devices other than a 17XX REU, Easyflash, and Swiftlink which use the cartridge port (Lt. Kernal I’m looking at you) 100% support for hardware acceleration devices (SuperCPU etc). Certain conditions may affect file transfer handshake timing. This is my final version of CCGMS. As I’ve found all of the bugs I’ve been able to find, and added all the features I wished to add, I will no longer be maintaining this program or running the support BBS for it, Afterlife. Source code is in the download link for those who wish to take over and add more features.

BBS Server for putting Commodore 64 BBSes on the 'net (Visual Basic 6)

Commodore Telnet BBS Server

A simple Windows program that acts as a 'bridge' between serial and TCP/IP, allowing you to set up a Commodore BBS that can be Telnetted to (really just a raw TCP connection). Also allows a C64 to “dial out” over Telnet. Yeah, yeah, it's Visual Basic 6.

A list of Telnetable BBSes can be found here. http://cbbsoutpost.servebbs.com/

My own BBS is still up and running, telnet to bbs.jammingsignal.com port 23 .

Compaq Portable II - 286 - https://www.oldsilicon.com/compaq-portable-ii - I used to carry this 24 pound beast in 1986 on the train commuting and there was only one outlet per train reserved for the vacuum cleaner. People often gave up their seat next to that one outlet to watch me with a “portable” computer… and that was in Silicon Valley. Yet I was the only one I ever saw carrying this back-breaker luggable as a commuter. It weighed a ton lugging it for 6 blocks to the train station, but I was 20 years old then. I used Borland Sidekick TSR for preparing my daily checklist. The power would go out from time to time when the train stopped at the station…no battery like later laptops. But it booted quickly into Sidekick “app”. .

Borland Sidekick

https://winworldpc.com/product/sidekick/2x

Snippet from Wikipedia: Borland Sidekick: Borland Sidekick was a personal information manager (PIM) launched by American software company Borland in 1984 under Philippe Kahn's leadership. It was an early and popular terminate-and-stay-resident program (TSR) for MS-DOS which enabled computer users to activate the program using a hot key combination (by default: Ctrl-Alt) while working in other programs. Although a text-mode program, Sidekick's window-based interface echoed that of the Apple Macintosh and anticipated the eventual look of Microsoft Windows 2.0. It included a personal calendar, text editor (with WordStar-like command interface), calculator, ASCII chart, address book, and phone dialer. According to the prospectus for Borland's initial public offering of stock to the public, Sidekick sold more than 1 million copies in its first three years.

Snippet from Wikipedia: Surface Book 2: The Surface Book 2 is a 2-in-1 convertible laptop developed by Microsoft as part of its Surface line of personal computers. Released on November 16, 2017, it improved upon its predecessor, the original Surface Book, with enhanced performance, expanded hardware options, and introduction of a larger 15-inch model alongside the original 13.5-inch. In addition to functioning as a traditional laptop, the Surface Book's detachable touchscreen display allows it to be used as a standalone tablet or reattached in reverse for a convertible "Studio" mode. The device supports full touch and stylus input. The Surface Book 2 was succeeded by the third-generation Surface Book 3 in May 2020, and Microsoft officially ended firmware and driver updates on May 30, 2023, marking the end of official support.

Quantity 7 of Intel NUC Mini PCs - all with either 16GB or 32GB of RAM

Snippet from Wikipedia: Next Unit of Computing: Next Unit of Computing (NUC) is a line of small-form-factor barebone computer kits designed by Intel. Previewed in 2012 and launched in early 2013, the NUC line continues to develop over generations of Intel-based CPU launches, spanning from Sandy Bridge-based Celeron CPUs in the first generation, to Raptor Lake-based mobile and desktop CPUs in the thirteenth, and more recently Meteor Lake-based processors with AI capabilities.
The standard barebone kits consist of the NUC board, in a plastic case with a fan, an external power supply, and a VESA mounting plate. The plastic case is typically offered on one of two chassis, Tall (allowing for a 2.5" drive bay) or Slim (no 2.5" drive bay). The NUC motherboard measures approximately 10 × 10 centimetres (4 × 4 in), although some models have had different dimensions. Intel also sells bare NUC motherboards, which have a built-in CPU.
In July 2023, Intel announced that it would no longer develop NUC mainboards and matching mini PCs. They subsequently announced that NUC products will continue to be—and since that time have been—manufactured, sold and supported by ASUS under a non-exclusive license.

Snippet from Wikipedia: IPhone 6: The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are smartphones that were developed and marketed by Apple. They are the eighth generation of the iPhone, succeeding the iPhone 5, iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s, and were released on September 19, 2014. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus respectively include larger 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch displays, a faster processor, upgraded cameras, improved LTE and Wi-Fi connectivity and support for a near-field communications-based mobile payments offering. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus were replaced as the flagship devices of the iPhone series by the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus on September 9, 2015.
The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus received positive reviews, with critics regarding their redesign, specifications, camera, price point, and battery life as improvements over previous iPhone models. However, aspects of their design were criticized, including plastic strips on the rear of the device for its antenna that disrupted the otherwise metal exterior, and the screen resolution of the standard-sized iPhone 6 being lower than other devices in its class. The iPhone 6 sold extremely well, making it the best-selling iPhone model and the most successful smartphone to date. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus supported iOS 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 before being dropped by iOS 13.
The phones have been the subject of several hardware issues, including being susceptible to bending under hard pressure, and as a byproduct of this lack of rigidity, the touchscreen's internal hardware being susceptible to losing its connection to the phone's logic board. Additionally, some iPhone 6 Plus models were the subject of camera issues, including some with malfunctioning optical image stabilization or other defects on rear cameras.
The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were moved to the mid-range spot in Apple's iPhone lineup when the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus were released in September 2015. The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were discontinued in most markets on September 7, 2016, when Apple announced the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Their spot as the entry-level iPhone was taken by the first-generation iPhone SE, released on March 31, 2016. The iPhone 6 was relaunched with 32 GB of storage in 2017 as a midrange/budget iPhone.
