Holy crap, it worked!

Credit goes to @Mozzwald for this video, as this is his setup, my board interface broke, the day before, so I was unable to do this test.

This is the #AtariWiFi interface booting a copy of Jumpman off of a hosted server on DigitalOcean (therefore, over the Internet). The disk image is being hosted by a TNFS server running there.

The reason the beeps are so slow is literally because of the round trip of debug messages appearing in the ESP8266 serial monitor, with these disabled, the boot time is almost as fast as a real disk drive.

The next test program will be implementing a track buffer to improve performance.

My god, this is so awesome! :)
