Any other takers?
The proposed spec of the machine has improved a little and it will be a lot
faster than a SGC, with 64x the memory, too...
What would you do for developer access to new hardware? :)

With the W5300 on-chip implementation, you depend on one specific
manufacturer. If the TCP/IP stack runs on the QL side, one is more
flexible to use different hardware. In my case, the NE2000 or Realtek on
the Q40 and Q60, but the CP2200 on the Q68. Even TCP

On second thought, maybe not.
Obviosly no one will want to set a color on a TCP channel nor will anyone want
to send a packet to a high-res screen channel.

Thank you George, that's an interesting piece of information.

The WS5300 is not recommended for new designs, so I would need to buy a
lifetime supply, yes, which is a drawback. It, like the CP2200 can be
configured to use any MAC address but does have one configured in its
internal NVRAM, whereas the WS5300 requires an external EEPROM. Given the
cost differen

I had a working native TCP/IP stack plus applications a decade ago, so in
my case, the easier way is trying to reuse that.

Good questions, Petri.
Given the structure of C, SuperBASIC and Minerva/QDOS in general, I think
it's important to have at least a functional subset of the POSIX socket
API. However, while that would bring functionality it would be strictly in
the realm of the experienced programmer. The great thi
Nice thing about the W5300 is that it has a TCP/IP stack implemented on the
chip which makes the driver *much* simpler to implement.
One interesting question regarding this whole conversation is: what is
meant by a "driver" here?
Does driver in this context mean a SuperBasic device interface? I.e.
Hi Peter,
In all cases, I would like to go for compatibility with other systems.
Drivers are a huge obstacle, so any kind of progress is a head start.
I did a quick read of the datasheet, and I can see that this device does
have a couple of advantages over the WS5300 - the onboard MAC eliminates

For your information:
Hi all,
We are looking for someone with experience developing custom yet highly
compatible versions of Minerva. The revised version of Minerva may have
features like a very large amount of physical RAM, and exist on
system-writable flash memory. This provides an exciting opportunity for
