Mine bricked in a firmware upgrader crash. :( Sent from my iPhone On Jun 19, 2017, at 14:40, william degnan via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
Most annoyingly, the CHIP has been unavailable for months. They're pushing the hell out of "CHIP Pro", which has little in common with CHIP, but what I (personally) want is more CHIPs. I have a bunch here, I use them for all sorts of things. They keep saying it'll be back, but it keeps not coming back. Very, very annoyed.
I have two that I keep busy.
Especially considering I ordered a replacement months ago!

Before you give up on yours, make sure you have a powerful milliamp power supply, they eat a lot of juice and you may find yours conks out when going into GUI mode if you don't have enough power. I use mine headless to attach to terminals with simH and/or as a "modem" kind of like the WIFIrs232. Another very reasonable replacement for the WIFI232 is a Rasp Pi Zero. I have about five of these I use for many things including a network device for terminals.
