1.70 Mhz 8-Bit Ataris Get 10 Mbit Ethernet

point writes "Thanks to Chris Martin, 8-bit Atari power users can now enjoy 10 Mbit Ethernet, something that the Commodore 64 crowd have been able to do for over a year now... Time to pick up that age-old flamewar? An Ethernet-enabled Atari port of the Contiki operating system has already been completed, and brings the Atari users telnet, e-mail, a web server and a web browser. Pictures and schematics for the Ethernet card, as well as screenshots of the system in action on an Atari 800 are available from the project's webpage."

C64 die-hard alert

[Neo-Rio-101]

I am actually looking to get the ethernet card for the Commodore 64 and run Contiki. Should be fun .... even better when a solid version of Wings gets nicely completed to handle it all. Then I can hack an Atari 8-bit webserver with my C64! But come on, we all know the C64 was way better than the atari... at least the C64 has hard drives to host files off. There's no way I'm using the 300 baud datasette. "Are you keeping up with the Commodore? Because the Commodore is keeping up with you."

Flamewar? Flamewar?

I thought we settled that _long_ ago.

The C64 ownz. It's was a significant advance over all its successors and imitators, including and especially those Atari "computers".

Does that hit the spot? /flame.
