Retrofitted a TRS-80 Model 100 laptop with wireless connectivity by soldering a BlueSMIRF Bluetooth module directly to the HD-6502 UART on the motherboard, enabling it to function as a networked terminal. A MacBook paired with the Bluetooth module, exposing the remote TTL UART as a device file for telnet access to remote systems. Executed as an office prank for a new employee’s first day.
