CPC AND THE INTERNET

[Misel982001]

Hello guys. Perhaps this is a stupid question but I always have it in my mind. Can someone connect to the internet with a CPC?

For native internet on the CPC, rpalmer is building a CPC TCP/IP stack with browser and it's currently still in development.

Alternatively, you can use the CPC as a terminal and log into a linux box over a serial connection, using a RS232 or something similar like the MiniBooster.

fano done some tests to connect the CPC to the cpc-power database through the MiniBooster, list it, send requests and download DSK to write them  to a floppy.

Redbox please clarify. Is it under development and will be released?Does Symbos support Internet use? IF yes, how can the 128k CPC load pages with millions of colors?

Simple

In MODE 2: INK 0,26 as background and INK 1,0 represent the millions of colours

Yes, it's under development (along with an Ethernet card).  Search for posts by rpalmer.

It's a text based browser, much like the Lynx Browser for *nix.
