1.70 Mhz 8-Bit Ataris Get 10 Mbit Ethernet

Posted by simoniker on from the next-up-firewire dept.

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."

  1. 8-bit ISA NIC for Linux? by benjamindees · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I guess this would be the place to ask, since I haven't had any luck with Google.

    Where would I get an 8-bit ISA network card that's supported in Linux? I've got a couple of Netgear NE2000 cards that were advertised to work in 8-bit slots, but the drivers don't seem to recognize them.

    I'm definitely not a hardware hacker, so I'd be grateful for any hints.
