8-bit Micro Does Wifi! (Spectravideo SVI 328 PicoROM)

The title of this is correct, we are going to get Wifi running on an 8-bit micro, none other than a Spectravideo SVI-328 Mark II. Not much is needed: a simple circuit board (from PCBWay), a Raspberry Pi Pico W (Wifi model) and a single 5V diode.
ROM Files are sent to the computer from a modern computer (in my case, Windows 11) and load almost instantly.
I will go through the build, and we will also have a look at the code that drives it.
