Hi everyone, in case anyone is interested, there's a pic of the second prototype version of an ethernet / TCP/IP expansion card for the QL available on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/petrip/6883064083/
Fresh off the production line, it was finished tonight :) And the amazing thing is that it actually works. To me, the hardware side of things was the scary/educational part of the project. Now I feel confident that this prototype can be used as a nice starting point for prototype v3 with an actual printed circuit board. I was forced to take a long (10 months!) break from all hobbies due to hectic personal/business life but finally had some time to put this second version together. Now that I have hardware that can actually be handled without fear of tearing a wire loose I can concentrate on the software side of things. I have the source code for a rudimentary socket layer interface for the WizNet module (the TCP-IP-on-a-chip on the board) and will try to compile something with it. A very simple command line HTTP client would probably be an interesting starting point as that would open up all kinds of possibilities (file download, REST client, etc).
