• MSX(1) and modded MT-Telcom II modem

    From Niels Haedecke@21:1/168 to All on Sat Apr 19 23:27:56 2025
    Hi there,
    I've recently modified a Philips MT-Telcom II modem for MSX computers
    by desoldering the relays and replacing them with an ESP12 based WiFi
    modem connected to the Intel UART in the cartridge.

    It comes with a built-in but very plain (no VT terminal emulation, due to 40 columns of the MSX1 video) terminal program. I have successfully tested
    this modification with my Sony HitBit HB75 and connected to Particles!
    BBS in 40 column ASCII mode.

    Fun stuff ...


    Greetings, Niels Haedecke
