<![CDATA[The C64 goes Internet]]>Using a very cheap ESP8266 controller and a simple PCB, we can lift the C64 into the modern era of having internet access. We evaluate two different WiFi modem firmware solutions, and I will show you how to connect to a BBS with gateways to modern websites. You can now read the news, look up things on Wikipedia, and most importantly: download software for your C64!
