Uther card works on Apple IIplus with contiki

["Vince Briel" <vbriel@comcast.net>]

I've been pretty busy this month but had to try out my Uther card I got from 
Glenn. My Apple II of choice is my original IIplus that I've had since 1980 
new from Computerland.

I installed the Uther card in slot 4 of my IIplus and kept my SSC in slot 2. 
I'm using a Saturn 32k card but I think a good working 16K card will be 
fine.

After reading Glenns notes about needing a 6502A I got to thinking about 
this. The clock speed is set but the II board, not the CPU so there should 
be no difference using the original 6502 processor with the Uther card.

Loaded up Contiki and it wouldn't DHCP, load pages, nothing. Then I noticed 
the 2 cards were seperated a little from the strain of the ethernet cable. A 
zip tie is a great fix for this and DHCP worked, I could ping the apple II 
from my pc. Loaded the web browser and it works like a champ.

While typing this message the screensave failed to load because "out of 
memory", no major deal.

Overall the Uther ethernet card is a great ethernet solution and my hats off 
for the fine work. I recomend this product.

I'm going to configure mail next and give that a try. I'll post more results 
on that this weekend.

Cheers,
Vince
