Virtual Net 96: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 12:09, 30 January 2025

The Virtual Net 96 was developed by Wizcat. It is a combination of hard- and software, which was developed to connect two or more CPCs. The hardware consists of a simple transistor for each CPC and a wire which connects each CPC with another. Therefore, the data is transmitted serial to each CPC.

The software consists of applications or games which use the Virtual Net 96 routine pack. This collection of routines is able to transmit data with a speed of 46400 Baud.

See too Net Library.
