RE: Amstrad CPC464 - The 'Biggest' Retro Computer of the 1980s

in #retro15 hours ago

I'm envying your collection. I'm impressed that people are still creating add-ons. Of course most of the old computers have been emulated, but the real hardware has that certain something. I expect any sort of internet library would be too big to run on these things.

Sort:  

Most 8 bits use serial connections with the heavy lifting done on the “modem” side, but the 16 bits like ST, Amiga, etc did have web browsers and such :)

I used a browser on my Amiga 1200. It probably helped that it was upgraded. Was using a modem, so downloads were slow anyway.
