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."

Current Status:
# Compiling: Contiki, UIP, CS8900A driver, Telnet, Email, Web Browser.
# The Telnet only version works under SpartaDOS.
# Pings work, but many packets dropped.
# Telnet works, but looses connection.

So there is still a way to go. They have a work in progress but are not fully up.
