Re: Contiki for Apple II sightly held up on networking question

["desiv" <desiv@attbi.com>]

I posted this once before, when the Contiki news first broke...

The C64 Ethernet card info on the Contiki website says:
"The TFE cartridge is designed around Systor Vest AS' CS8900a-based Embedded
Ethernet board."

I found this link for an Apple II ethernet card project, which is a bit
outdated, but: http://aiiethernet.tripod.com/

Notice the chip they're using???  Here's a quote:
"This is the chip that makes it all possible. Produced by Crystal
Semiconductor -- a division of Cirrus Logic -- the CS8900A"

Sounds like these projects need to be introduced to each other!!!!

There's also the "official" Apple //e-GS Ethernet card, the LanceGS, but I
don't know if it uses the same chipset.  However, it's been out and working
for awhile...

It should be doable!!!!
