Yes the ESP-12 works really well. The ESP-8266 is now integrated with the Arduino IDE so moving code around is a breeze. Although there are still some issues with sleep etc. There are also a bunch of libraries like WiFi Scan, FTP, TELNET, NTP and OTA updating which make it quite simple to add in those features. The 8266 is a bit of a power hog but otherwise it worked really well as a WiFi link and SD-Card interface. I did put together a OSH board some time ago to build an ESP-TPDD based interface, it should be shared on OSH
In my case I just used the TELECOM program to set up the FTP or TELNET. The FTP is only to the local SD-Card which can then be accessed via TP-DOS. The only clunky part was booting from the ESP-TPDD as it does not support the control lines – too few pins – to react to the Model Ts serial pin status. There are also some ESP-12 boards available with RS-232 ports that can be plugged directly into the Model T, I do not have the link though.
