A Hardware Thing | Commodore 64 Accessing IRC

I have previously completed a written post on this subject but due to pressure from... well... one guy, I thought I'd turn this into a video for the world to see my low budget and low production quality video. I took an excessive amount of shortcuts to get this done with as quickly as I could and am still not exactly satisfied with it. As a wise man once told me, "Sometimes you just have to stop and let it be."

This video outlines the steps it took for me to get the Commodore 64, under it's stock power to get onto the Internet and access Internet Relay Chat (IRC) with its stock display and 64K of RAM.

The two accessories I purchased to make this happen was an SD2IEC from The Future Was 8-Bit

and the RR-Net Mk3 from icompe.de
