That could virtually double the fun, I suppose.cc65 has an extended memory API that could be used to make use of the various kinds of memory extensions, not only the 128 kb of C128 RAM, but also REUs and the 64kb of extra graphics memory that is available on certain kinds of C128Ds.I hardly dare to ask if it would be possible to make use of the 2 MHz mode, too... ;-)Ullrich von Bassewitz have already started adding code to cc65 which makes use of the 2MHz even in C64 mode... :-) /adam
More interesting to me, is any support for 80-col/VDC graphics? A lot of people find pure C64 GUI stuff drool-worthy, but beyond technical astonishment it does nothing for me. I've been in 80-col world for so long unless the Contiki graphics system can be extended to VDC on C128 I don't see ever trying it.
Also I couldn't tell whether the 3 applications (http-in, http-out, and telnet-out) are built into the OS or are actually applications you load and run. If more applications are written, is this like a regular OS that they can be delivered individually or are they compiled into the Contiki binary and released that way? Some of the source code made me think the latter, but I only skimmed it.
