I love minimal web server projects.

Here are a few more.

Sadly, a bunch of my links are dead now.

"busy - MEFISDOS filesystem currently in use. Please try a little bit later again ..."

Gotta love this message. It conveys the feeling that this thing is for real.

I appreciate that by posting it here, it has almost no chance of standing up to the traffic... But it was too cool not to share.

Is there an HTTP response code for RAM pack wobble?

[smoyer]

Ugh ... that edge card connector and the RAM's vertical orientation was horrible. I tore mine out of the original case, found a real (mechanical) keyboard, built a better power supply and added a weed-eater style battery. I could move it around (unpowered) for quite a while before it lost it's memory and there were several times I took it to the local TSUG without having to reload the program I wanted to show off.

A local jeweler designed what he called a "winky board" and sold it to thousands of TS owners. It provided an AGC for both the audio input and audio output as well as shaping circuits to eliminate noise from the signal. This little board actually made storing programs on cassettes reliable.

Ah ... memories!

EDIT: It was a Winky Board - There are references here:

I have a ZX-81 (that I built from the kit version) and two TS-2000's in my basement, perhaps if you clustered them, the page could survive the HN effect.

EDIT: Two of them have the 16KB RAM expansion modules if the system is memory limited.

[cromulent]

16KB! How luxurious, I had the standard 1KB. I saved my pocket money but by the time I could afford the expansion pack the industry (and I) had moved on.

[taylodl]

That poor Sinclair ZX81 can't handle HN load! It's probably done more work today than it has its entire lifetime.

[rman666]

Cool. I'll have to put mine back in service. It's currently being used as a door stop ;-)

[ancarda]

Is this real? I wonder how the networking gets in/out? AFAIK, there's no port for that.

Also, does anyone have a cache? Looks like it couldn't cope with the traffic.

Not anymore, it isn't!

[lifeisstillgood]

I am soooooooo happy - where is the source code ! :-)

[reeses]

He can ship it to you as an mp3.

You can do similar things on the Arduino with an Ethernet shield. There a single IC which contains a hardware implementation of the TCP/IP stack which takes the load of the AVR itself.

[LandoCalrissian]

I found one of these at a thrift store the other day for $4, fun to see what people are doing with it now.

[desireco42]

Oh the beautiful times I had with my ZX Spectrum and how much you could do with such little

I've been hitting refresh for ages and I still get nothing :-)

[cslarson]

yes, with a loose definition of "served". :-)
