(the only downside for prototyping is that the header is 2mm spacing instead
of .1" ..which require the aquistion of 2 converter boards)

The module I am using is the wiznet IIM7010. The module is based on wiznets
W3100A chip. It is a 3.3v based device that has 5v tolerant io. My current
schematic can be found at

Done with eagle.

For more info have a look at my website
http://members.rogers.com/rg.jones/apple.htm ... from there choose hardware
projects -> a2ethernet ...

The entire thing could be squeezed onto a 1.5 x 3 inch PCB

I was planning on doing a link layer driver for Marinetti but may look at
getting uIP running on it first since I am more familar with c and 6502
assembler vs 65816

I just finished redoing the board in wirewrap and it's looking good  ..my
simple starter code sets up an interupt handler, then sets up the mac, ip,
mask and gateway  ...does a sysinit ... from there it's pingable from
another machine on the network...

Let me know if you have any questions ...

I notice you are using a GS to test your card. Are you anticipating it will work in an Apple ][? IF it is similar to a TFE, it may enable a TCPIP stack to written or adapetd to the Apple ][.
