Re: Web browser for Apple IIe?
There is someone working (Did he ever get his Apple II unboxed and
working??) supposedly on the Apple II port of Contiki...
And I can think of no technical reason as to why what works so far on the
C64 can't be done on the Apple II.
I think most of the work (if I understand it) is actually in extending the
cc65 compiler to be aware enough of the Apple II specific functions (timers,
serial routines, etc) to allow the Contiki source to compile..
Considering a large number (majority??) of Apple IIs have 128 K(I mistyped
it "MB" originally.. Habit. Had to change it to K Still hard to believe K
not Meg.. :-) of memory or more, I would think it should be at least as good
for basic functionality.
I'm still hoping....
