In the next weeks I should receive a BroadBand Adapter (it cost me a lot of money btw ;) ). Someone suggested me that it could be used to browse and download games directly from (e.g.) wos. What do you think about this idea ? Can it be done ?

_tyrell_It's possible. Sam Steele (c99koder) did this for his DreamZZT interpreter. You used the BBA to connect to a site to download the small games the interpreter uses.

It is, but only because World of Spectrum (WOS) carries only PD roms (of which there is a huge library for the Spectrum).

I got my broadband adapter (cost me a *lot* of money btw :() ! Now I can start looking if I can add support for online games browsing. I suppose it would be a feature not very widely used (the number of bba owners must be very low) but still it could be interesting no ?
