Howdy, folks.
So, I'd bought a WiRSA modem kit off of eBay about a month ago and used all my remaining solder in my workshop to piece it together.
So far, the WiFi to serial connection does what it should with little to no issues (the firmware updates are hit-or-miss as far as downloading is concerned).
Anyway, I'm 32 years old and an avid user of Windows versions prior to Windows 10. When I'm not fixing up arcade machines at the local Chuck E. Cheese's where I work, I tinker with older technology (and use it unironically afterward to cheese off my coworkers :P ).
One example is right here: this IBM PC 300XL I'm restoring and using to connect to Synchronet.
I did have to resort to a CompactFlash to IDE adapter as I made the grand mistake of buying a pre-owned hard disk rather than refurbished...and thus had nothing to access BBSes with for a good two weeks.
My goal this year is to make identical retro builds for my mom, my sister, and my brother for their birthdays or Christmas.
Anyway, gotta catch up on laundry before heading to bed for a grueling work day. Toodles. :D
