Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I have heard of Eye-Fi but it was only a one way wireless comms and which I thought was only for some types of camera.

Toshiba are supposedly going to release a FlashAir 8Gb SD card which will provide 2 way comms. The new cards will be available early 2012 and are projected to cost 50 euro or about AU$70.

The FlashAir will supposedly work with any device that has WiFi but it says it will work with cameras that don't have WiFi.

I wonder if it will work with the Maximite or if the Maximite can be adapted to make it work. It doesn't give any indication of range so it will probably need to be within a very low cooee.

Any ideas???

it's possible to add such support but only in the firmware, MM BASIC will not handle complete Wifi protocol

Maximite do not use the 128K of available RAM efficiently, what actually user have to write code is 30K of program code and variable space 13K out of all 128KB memory so what geoff write in his manual: "The Maximite is a small and versatile computer running a full featured BASIC interpreter with 128K of working memory." is a kind of misleading, as when you read this you think you have 128K of memory to write code, but it's not quite so
