The shell does, but I don't think the Beeb does.

Yeah, I got some of those from Amazon, really cheap and easy to make. You'll need an Arduino to easily program the ESP with the specialized modem firmware. Not sure if you can do it with a rpi.

You never forget your first RIFA. Thankfully, the PSU will run fine without them, it's just some voltage smoother or something like that.

Make sure you get all the cables you need too. If you have a floppy drive, you may need a splitter. Check with Mark to make sure.
