Network services
Telnet sessions and native TCP functions are goals for applications and BBS use.
HARDWARE / IN DEVELOPMENT
CoCoWiFi. A new connection for the original machines.
A network cartridge project for CoCo 1, 2 and 3. We're working toward a practical bridge between classic Color Computers and modern network services.
Development status: Cartridge hardware and firmware are under development. Compatibility and production availability have not been established.
PROJECT GOALS
Give the old bus somewhere new to go.
ESP32-S3
Networking is built around an ESP32-S3 with a carefully verified bus-facing register and buffering interface.
CoCo 1 / 2 / 3
We are targeting three generations, with electrical, bus-timing, and software compatibility testing still required.
OUR APPROACH
Respect the original hardware.
A network adapter shouldn't require hand-waving about bus behavior. We are building and verifying the hardware/firmware boundary before making broad claims about compatibility.
CoCoWiFi and PeTerm are complementary projects: an interface to the network, and a terminal to explore what's out there.
