Commander X16

Kevin (TEXELEC) is developing one(a wifi card). There's already been a demo of a prototype, the 8bg has already written >95% of a terminal program and demoed that as well with TEXELEC's card. Last I knew there's still work being done because the current terminal program only has BASIC ASCII control...

Just my two cents here. For me, what would be period correct and hugely enjoyable is a simple wifi modem that allows for a simple terminal program to connect to internet-based bbses. One of my primary uses for my C64 was to connect to bbses for conversation, games and downloads. To me, having some s...

Similarly, I'd love to see the updates in a single, easy to find place with straightforward directions. Perhaps this exists, but I've yet to find it.

Thank you,

Perhaps this has already been suggested, or it exists in another text editor that I've yet to find, but I would love to see word wrap as a feature.

Your post actually got me thinking about posting info about it on my blog or website. I did develop a nifty keyboard controller that allowed my homebrew to use a C64 keyboard....

Cliff Stoll! Oh, how I love that human. I got to talk with him a number of times a few years ago as I was hoping to option his book and make it into a film or TV series. He's marvelous and his story is geek-tastic. The dramatization Falken links to is really worth watching, especially since Cliff p...

Picosecond, it's always a pleasure to meet fellow New Englander, though I must admit that I'm originally from New Orleans, so I'll always be "from away." And SlithyMatt, thank you for the clarification. Commandos is just fine. And I think I'm wearing unmentionables today. But it's hit or miss in th...

Hello my fellow retronauts. I am extremely excited about this project and have been since David first mentioned it. I built a 6502-based computer and OS a few years ago and found it to be one of the most exciting projects I've ever undertaken. So very excited to see how this progresses.    Cheers, ...
