The Commodore folks have one, I believe.

The Apple IIGS has one, but it does not count because as
a 16-bit computer with a 16MB memory space (up to 8MB
usable for RAM), it is not really in the same league (it is
easier to implement TCP/IP on it than on the more
challenging 8-bit units).

For years, SOME people here on csa2 flamed ANYONE
suggesting it MIGHT be possible to implement TCP/IP
on the 8-BIT (non-GS) Apple II units.  Funny how Atari
and Commodore folks could do it.  Luckily, those "flaming
elements" have now left csa2.

Like Randy Shakelford said, I am very happy that the
PRINCIPLE flaming element has left csa2.  ;-)
