Uther card works on Apple //e with contiki

["Doug Flowers" <d_flowers_land-at-hotmail.com>]

Got my Uther card connected to my Apple //e with no problem in slot 1. Used
small rubber feet to make sure that the card would not touch the neighboring
cards, worked well.
I had no problem setting the IP address manually, and then using DHCP. Both
worked well and I was able to ping.
Made the mistake of setting the screen saver to 0 timeout. Don't do that,
especially if you have transwarp active. Very difficult to backtrack through
menu's with the screensaver kicking on constantly. I figured 0 would disable
screensaver, wrong.
HTTP worked well definately looks different without multicolors and
graphics, but speed seemed more than adequate for text only.
FTP still needs work, but that information is on the web site i believe.
Would be nice to have a simple ftp from the command line, that you could
use.
Out of memory problems are interesting. Don't seem to affect anything. Never
got one with the screensaver, but did when switching from other programs.
Maybe they don't happen on a GS. When/If I ever get the GS I won off ebay
I'll try it out. Of course that is nothing to the5 weeks waiting for a spare
power supply from this guy with an answer "I think I sent it today, not
sure", Sorry, digressing.
Anyway the manufacturing of this product is very professional. Just waiting
for FTP.

I'll post more as I get the time, been playing with adding hard disks and
transferring disk images.

Have a fine Apple Day.
