my interest is in getting old network cards (which don't have any
software) to work with apple iie. this is not to bring it to it's
previous full blown operational status, but to get it working.
i got a network card from ebay sometime back, .. SCNET card. i posted
several times asking for info and it seems that no one got any
software.
But later i did some "research", posted to lot of groups and lot of
people helped. And ultimately found that it is a mass storage card
based on ethernet.
so i read the ROM and wrote the necessery software. Now card functions
very nicely and boots from my PC.. i have a 32MB apple disk image....
and iie boots in less than 5 seconds..
now that apple iie has contiki with TCP/IP, i am planning to write a
driver to access internet, this infact needs lot of work ...... ( i
think it should work at 750Kbps.. if my calculations are correct.. but
usuallly they are wrong.. heh heh.. let's see..)
if your digicard is ethernet based, then you can try using my software
(of course you have to modify a lot...) to boot a iie from a PC.
(again this may be not what you really want) but i can certainly help
you.
regarding any other card (digicard old versions, compulynx,
etc)...which is not ethernet based, this is non triavial as you need to
establish a connection with PC. which needs protocol conversions... if
some form of connection is established then everything becomes less non
trivial or probably trivial.... as there are lot of libraries to detect
and manipulate packets or data using a PC.
