the
Xee module, I had haeard of that. But do any of them work without any
flow control lines back to the host? The simple radio module (on the
433MHz band) that I looked at certainly eneded the RTS/CTS flow
control
or something equivalent.
If you build something yourself (which would obviously then
meet the "maintainability" requirements), you could throw
in some reasonable buffering. 128MB SDRAM is dirt cheap
(?1 or so) and that is likely to be enough buffering
for almost any classic machine. So even if your radio chip
wants to pause for breath, your classic computer doesn't
need to know.
Basically this is a (bidirectional) print buffer with
a radio welded on the end.
You'll obviously need N of them, one per simultaneously
active classic machine.
