 Or can it be done over SLIP from a comms interface?

I went with SLIP for my network experiments a few months back, just because
it was easiest to implement.  I'm not sure the speed is going to be too
great though - Simon Cooke is probably the person to ask about that.  If the
Embedded Ethernet provides more buffering, maybe it'll help cut down the the
processing overhead?


 Speaking of which, weren't there some modifications that 
 needed to be made to the comms i/f to actually make the RS232 usable?

It already works fine for connection to a modem and in a SLIP setup to my
PC...

I got somewhere. I endt up patching the compiler, getting som help from
the compiler maintainer, fixing some code and still haven't compilled
everything yet. :(

I know Simon also was into it, but I don't know how far he got.

Will that require something like this to work: h

And while I've thought of it, what was the mod to stop the ghosting on the
video output - I might get one of these

it's going to look as horrible as it does on my little SCART monitor I'm
not sure I can justify the cost.

Interesting. :)

 Or can it be done over SLIP from a comms interface?

My initial idea was to use PPP over the emulated serial device
in SimCoupe (since it's my current platform).

 Speaking of which, weren't there some modifications that needed to be made
 to the comms i/f to actually make the RS232 usable?

Wasn't that just to make it compatible with PC mice?

 And while I've thought of it, what was the mod to stop the ghosting on the

Short out inductor L5 (to the left of the ASIC) to remove video shadow.

No warranties. :)

Apropos: Does anybody have the scematics in digital format easily
available? My printed copy is starting to fade.
