Warning C128DCR owners

For Swift-L Internal Wifi Modem for C128, 38400 Baud

Warning to all Commodore 128 DCR owners. This module is pin compatible, but will not fit inside the case because of where the L4 MOS 6526 is located.

This is made only for the flat 128. Quoting the description.

"Internal Swiftlink compatible Wifi Modem for the Commodore 128 Flat model"

I doubt that it will work even if you do get it plugged in, because of the metal case of the DCR. That would block the Wifi Signal from passing.

Product looks like it would be great

For Link232-Wifi, Swiftlink Compatible WIFI for C64

Processing and delivery was excellent. However the resources for making this function are very lacking. I’ve spent a lot of trial and error finally got it to see the WiFi network have yet to get it to work with a terminal program. The documentation is more of a hodge-podge of taking parts from various projects and referencing them together through GitHub ....very confusing....

Great potential use cases however back to my user port modem or swiftlink cartridge through a Linux machine which I wanted to eliminate with this....maybe someday I’ll figure it out for now I put it in a box with the other projects that sounded good but I couldn’t get working.....

Feel free to message me with any problems you are having, and I'll be happy to help troubleshoot.

I'll try to work on making the quick start better, I guess adding a quick setup for one terminal program would help new users.

Great product and excellent value!

For Swift-L Internal Wifi Modem for C128, 38400 Baud

Currently using the internal modems on flat C128 computers. Very convenient to have internal modems which keeps the cartridge port free so I can use the Lt. Kernal hard drives without needing a cartridge port expander.

Have personally used the modems with CCGMS 2017, CCGMS 2019, CCGMS 2020, Desterm v2.00, and with Centipede BBS. Work perfectly.

Very easy to install and setup as long as you are comfortable opening up your computer. Seller is very helpful and responsive to questions with some configuration problems I was having. Since uses Zimodem firmware as a base, there is plenty of documentation available.

FAST modem for C64 and C128

For Link232-Wifi, Swiftlink Compatible WIFI for C64

This modem is a good value considering its a WiFI modem + Swiftlink + a high quality 3D printed case. I Have used with CCGMS 2020 on a C64 and DesTerm 128 v3.02 on a C128. Zero issues getting it only my home's WiFi. This modem uses Zimodem-based firmware, so documentation on that is plentiful. Highly recommend, fast shipping too!

Also great post-sale support from seller! Answered all my questions. Thanks!
