The close integration of the application and IP levels is nice, and certainly removes a lot of buffering complications (despite it not being compatible an interface compatible with anything else). It's all impressively small too, so there'd be no need for SAM paging complications either. :-) I've been playing with some basic SLIP stuff between my PC and the SAM, though nothing beyond ICMP yet. All in Z80 too, which is definitely too much like hard work! A C version would be a lot easier to manage... Si

Frode is the only person I know that has, and I think that was more on the z88dk development side to add SAM mode 1 support. I've seen screen shots of sample's running on the SAM, but haven't built anything with it myself yet (I got as far as unzipping it, but have been too busy to dive in). Si

As I'm a SAM nutter, my pants are still slightly moistened. If this was ported, would we be able to run native SAM apps on top of it? Could we drop down into BASIC?

Perhaps only as much as you could with Driver, by suspending the GUI to return to BASIC. That would halt all Contiki activity while you're running the external program/BASIC tho, including the networking. It'd also rely on applications observing any RAM pages flagged as used, to avoid Contiki being overwritten. You might manage to keep the comms running if interrupts remain enabled, but the close coupling of the application and network layers makes it difficult without periodically scheduling some time for the Contiki kernel to run. Even if that's possible, it might make BASIC basic horribly slow to use. Has anyone tried an interrupt driven comms routine that runs in the background under BASIC? (Cookie?) If we couldn't do these things, it wouldn't really be like using our SAMs - very interesting but not SAM-like. I know what you mean, but if you think of it as an application instead of part of the system, it'd still be mightily impressive for the SAM. I was chuffed enough to get my SAM pingable from the Internet (routed through my Linux box over SLIP), despite it being an exclusive app which did nothing but respond to ICMP ECHO requests. Completely useless, but seemed like an interesting goal to aim for at the time! I still dream of seeing my SAM on the net with a little text web browser, basic email client, telnet, IRC etc - whilst still being able to access BASIC Contiki covers most of the functionality you want, but returning to BASIC is a problem. You could probably manage short exclusive trips to BASIC, relying on TCP retries to keep any active connections alive, but that's a bit risky. The alternative is to have other small applets running under Contiki to do what you want (DIR disks, etc.). All fascinating stuff anyway... Si

I'll see if I can get round to start testing Contiki on Z88Dk this evening (in between curling, nappy service, etc.) and see how far it will go before I run into problems. :) -Frode -- ^ Frode Tennebø | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ^ | Ericsson AS.| Isebakkeveien 49 | | N-1788 Halden | Phone: +47 67 25 09 39 | | with Standard.Disclaimer; use Standard.Disclaimer; |

Gavin May I humbly suggest ProType from Fred 60? It's crap in some (most) ways, but I'm certain it should be able to keep up with your typing :-) I have it here on the SAM beside me and it does indeed pretty much keep up with my typing - it's missing a few things though as you probably know :) Like it craps out on you if you decide not to load or save a file etc. Speaking of which, it seems to look for a .p extension when loading files - can this be got round? Still, assuming it does indeed save plain text, that's my text editor of choice now :) And interestingly, in relation to an earlier email of mine, it's written in SAM C - cool. Do you have the source? Can we have it? :) Did you do a later version that the one on Fred 60? *goes to get ice cream* Gavin
