I had some cool conversations in the #Chat64 yesterday. Plug and play chatroom cartridge for the #C64, #Atari8bit and #ZXSpectrum. Really neat project. Video coming soon(ish)! #RetroComputing #VintageComputing
A Commodore 64 bread bin and an Atari 800XL leaning against the backdrop of my workbench, with the matching Chat64 cartridges propped up in front of them.

Anybody here who has a #Chat64 cart and can quickly go online to confirm the server is working? I can't get access ("Server Setup" screen just beeps on me with the standard address) for some reason, I think it's either my home network or the chat64 server itself. #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

El resto de la revista Microhobby está bastante bien. Me ha llamado sobre todo la atención el artículo acerca del periférico Chat64 para nuestros micros (págs. 16 a 23).

Don't have a cart, but found their website. Looks like there are 3 users online currently, which may or may not indicate a problem (I don't know what the usual online count is!): chat64.nl/whoisonline....

The source code shows a connection test page, which shows as "connected" when I query it. Command I used is:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d "checkcon" www.chat64.nl/connectivity...

@visitthecave.bsky.social I came across this which could make an interesting video, a cart system for various retro systems that let people chat via the internet, perhaps you could even help them build them for more systems! www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7gf... www.chat64.nl

I spent all morning looking for C64 cartridges to buy, but I couldn't find any used ones that ship to or within Canada. For repros (expensive) I couldn't find anything interesting.

Chat64 looks neat, but I really just wanted some game carts lol.
