Re: TI-H: TCP/IP
Well, I would, but I lost the code when that machine crashed. I need Disk #1
of MacOS8 to get the files back... :)
(For those of you who don't know, this is a reference to Grant's "I need
precopy2.cab!" explanation for the lack of any posted info a while back...
hehehe)
Seriously, I don't have it anymore, because in case you're forgetting, it
sucked, and was a development tool at best. I was basically using the PC
hardware as a modem & TCP/IP stack for the TI, all through the parallel port.
Aka, I was testing the feasability of such a system. It's since been deleted
in the no-so-grand cleansing of my hard drive, mainly because I was running out
of space and got sick of not having the code work properly. Sorry :(
And be careful with a 68040... they're not exactly hobbyist-level chips to work
with. If you want a production model of an mp3 player, go ahead. Otherwise,
use smaller, simpler components, so you can more easily squash any bugs.
Although, if you want cheap CPU's for basic control capabilities, a 286 might
do the trick. A socketed version is easier to deal with, and x86 code is a
cinch for even me to write (well, mostly).
