ETA on the WiModem-232?
#1
Has there been any news on the WiModem-232 that plugs into standard serial port for Amiga, DOS, etc?

I have read threads in here that seemed like it was coming soon but that was 5 or 6 months ago. Just curious if there is an update as my Amiga want's some BBS goodness too. Thanks!

I have a solution in production, but I don't give release dates.

Pre-production samples will arrive tomorrow.  Case has been designed and submitted for tooling.

The WiModem232 supports all of the RS-232 lines available (Rx/Tx/RTS/CTS/DTR/DSR/DCD/RI), so running a BBS will be possible.   It includes an OLED display and multi-colored LED, just like the WiModem for the C64/128.

No firm release date, but I am hoping for next month.

After some failed actual production samples, I *think* I have working boards in production.  The WiModem232 has been tested with a dozen different computers, and works great up to 115200 baud.  I am going to try a PC with dedicated serial card capable of 230400 baud.  The WiModem232 hardware can actually support up to 1Mbaud, so it should work.

Me too!  This has taken a lot longer to get resolved due to the various computer systems that I wanted it compatible with.
