Re: [MSX] ObsoNET: Ethernet for MSX
I'll buy one! Jetze http://www.mellema.net/homecomputers - Original Message - From: Néstor Soriano [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Lista MSX holandesa [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 15, 2004 9:27 AM Subject: [MSX] ObsoNET: Ethernet for MSX Dear obsoletes, We are proud to announce the development of ObsoNET, an Ethernet card for MSX. The developers are Daniel Berdugo (hardware design and manufacturing) and Nestor Soriano (software). In this moment we have already a working prototype and the software development has started. ObsoNET will be a 10Base-T card, Konami cartridge sized and with RJ45 connector. It will have a BIOS with routines to send and receive packets, as well as for basic configuration tasks. The BIOS will be stored on a Flash memory, so it will be easily updateable. There will be enough free space on the Flash so an adapted DOS 2 or any other useful software can be installed on it in the future. Besides, an ad-hoc version of InterNestor Lite for ObsoNET will be developped, which will be compatible with the existing version at the IP and higher levels. If everything goes well, we hope to have an initial release of 20 cards ready for the next Barcelona meeting on october 31th. The price has not been decided yet, but it will be probably around 40 euros. We would appreciate your comments about your interest on ObsoNET, mainly to know whether the quantity of the initial release is appropriate or too big/small.

Happy obsolescence! *interested* Can you add, like, 4mb RAM for random usage .. the inclusion of custom RAM is a pro of the Sunrise design.. \/\/olf ___ MSX mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Info page: http://lists.stack.nl/mailman/listinfo/msx
