I'm (kind of) working on a port of UDPSlave from the C64 to the
Apple2. I've been using it successfully on a CBM machine I bought on
eBay without any floppies.

As far as I see this could very well enable ADTPro bare-metal
bootstrapping with Uthernet, couldn't it? At least that's the primary
reason I'm interested in porting it to the Apple2.
