Well... TK85. Close enough.

Found this while going through some blog entries over at Hackaday.

Network/internet access has been done before on the ZX81. But using Wi-Fi, that's new I believe? Cool in any case though.
Based on the omnipresent ESP8266 as could be expected. Which has more compute power built in than a whole cluster of ZX81's but who cares.
