Contiki for Internet-enabled Apple II

Posted by pudge on from the just-because dept.

indyV writes "Most of you probably remember the Contiki OS which previously have been used to Internet-enable both the Commodore 64 and the 8-bit Atari. This video shows the brand new Apple II Contiki port in action, booting up on an Apple IIe and surfing to www.apple2.org. The network connection was made with a specially crafted Ethernet adapter."

    but of course, hardware being so diverse as it is, programming for 1 platform just isn't feasable any longer
