Notes

The MIB238 is the modern all-in-one interface board for the ADAM, descended from the legendary (and now nearly unfindable) Micro Innovations MIB3. This WiFi version trades the usual external serial port for a built-in WiFi modem — internally a Wemos D1 Mini (ESP8266) running Zimodem firmware — so the ADAM can reach the internet and telnet to BBSs at up to 19.2k baud with no external modem.

It carries the rest of the MIB feature set on the same card: a terminal port for adding external 80-column video, a parallel port for a printer, a socket for a boot PROM, and the memory-expander "addressor" signal needed by RAM cards larger than 64K. Installs in expansion slot #2.
