"busy - MEFISDOS filesystem currently in use. Please try a little bit later again ..."<p>Gotta love this message. It conveys the feeling that this thing is for real.

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

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

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

Is this real? I wonder how the networking gets in/out? AFAIK, there's no port for that.<p>Also, does anyone have a cache? Looks like it couldn't cope with the traffic.

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.

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