Open hardware SCSI emulator with SD-backed storage, optional Wi-Fi networking, and host-side management tools.

Current seller checks on 2026-07-27 found a $39 internal 50-pin Pico 2 W kit, a $49 assembled external DB-25 model, a $49 PowerBook model, and a $59 assembled Ultra Narrow 50-pin model at authorized seller ToTs RETRO. JCM also carried assembled Ultra hardware and model-specific Macintosh adapters. Prices, stock, included media, and support differ by seller. Ultra models require Berg or Molex power and cannot run from SCSI termination power. The initial Ultra hardware release is not yet open hardware, although its firmware remains GPL; the project says hardware licensing will open later.

Buildable NodeMCU Wi-Fi modem for the Commodore 64 user port with voltage level shifting and status indicators.

The complete project remains downloadable. Retro-Updates listed an assembled revision-2 version for the C64 and C128, but it was out of stock on 2026-07-30. Revision 1 fits only the smaller WeMos NodeMCU v3 form factor; revision 2 supports both common board widths.

Adds Hayes-style Wi-Fi modem access and ZiModem networking functions to a Commodore 64 through the user port.

The maker page exposed current eBay and Amiga on the Lake purchase routes on 2026-07-30. The buyer's-guide card and cased listings are one hardware family; confirm the enclosure, board revision, and installed firmware with the seller before ordering.

Connects an RC2014 serial port to a Wi-Fi network.

The ESP8266 and 3.3 V regulator are surface-mount parts that the builder installs. GPIO pads, status LEDs, a small prototyping area, and FTDI programming mode are provided.

Adds high-speed Wi-Fi networking, file-transfer protocols, and SD-card storage to computers with a standard RS-232 interface.

The maker page exposed direct eBay, Sphere Cube, and Arcade Shopper purchase routes on 2026-07-30. Tavily could not independently extract the exact eBay or Sphere Cube destinations, recorded as WF-044 and WF-045, so confirm current stock before ordering. A user-supplied 5 V micro-USB supply is required; the SD card, serial cable, and computer-specific adapters are not included.

Combines a SwiftLink-compatible high-speed serial cartridge with an ESP8266 Wi-Fi modem for Commodore 64 and 128 systems.

The assembled Tindie listing was retired by 2026-07-30. The project repository retains Eagle design files, case files, firmware, software patches, and setup documents. The maker says prebuilt units sometimes appear through the linked eBay seller page, but no specific current listing was verified.

Current ZiModem-based Wi-Fi modem for Commodore 64 and 128 BBS access, Hayes commands, and incoming connections.

Retro Rewind accepted orders with a displayed 2-3 day fulfillment estimate on 2026-07-30. Suitable terminal or BBS software is still required.

Replaces a C64 or SX-64 KERNAL ROM with 36 selectable ROM or program slots, file browsing, firmware updates, and optional WLAN and FTP access.

No current official retailer or reproducible fabrication package was verified. A July 2026 hobby report says units had reappeared on Kleinanzeigen, so treat SuperKernal as used-market hardware and verify that the module, WLAN board, headers, firmware, and documentation are included. Supply only ROM images you are licensed to use.

Adds an internal SwiftLink-compatible ESP8266 Wi-Fi modem to the flat-model Commodore 128 while leaving its cartridge port available.

The assembled Tindie listing was retired by 2026-07-30, while the open project retains hardware and firmware material. The archived Tindie instructions specify socket U4, but the maker's merged README says U2, and human review found no surviving material that resolves the conflict. Do not install from the catalog summary; inspect the project files and verify the correct CIA socket against the exact board.

Adds an internal SwiftLink-compatible ESP8266 Wi-Fi modem to supported Commodore 64 longboards and Commodore 128DCR systems.

The assembled Tindie listing was retired by 2026-07-30. The open project retains Eagle design files, firmware, patches, and installation material. This is a board-specific internal installation that requires removing and reusing a 6526 CIA plus routing flying leads; verify the motherboard revision and instructions before fitting it.

DIY Commodore 64 wireless-interface project built around a MicroView display.

The project files remain downloadable, but no current assembled seller was verified. The readable top-level project material does not specify the computer connector, supported online services, transfer speed, or complete present-day parts requirements, so builders should inspect the repository before committing to a build.
