We are proud to announce that we have designed and implemented a fully
working Ethernet adapter for the Commodore 64. We call our design TFE
- The Final Ethernet (a pun on the name of the TFC :-). It consists of the
Embedded Ethernet board from Systor Vest AS
(
http://www.embeddedethernet.com/) and a single 74LS139 decoder chip
mounted on a custom made printed circuit board.
To show off our card, we have connected a TFE-equipped C64 to the
Internet. It is running the uIP TCP/IP stack
(
http://dunkels.com/adam/uip/) including the web server as well as a
real-time streaming audio server that streams audio sampled from the
Datasette player. It can be reached at
http://tfe.c64.org/.
More information, including pictures of the cartridge, PCB layouts,
and source code can be found at
http://dunkels.com/adam/tfe/.
Note that this is not the same Ethernet adapter that Bo Zimmerman
talked about a few weeks ago.
