Thomas' Atari Project EtherNE

Atari Logo

ETHERnet solution with NE2000 card using the ACSI port or Cartridge (ROM) port or Milan ISA slot.

The latest version 1.15 is from 2004-04-17. It adds:

STinG drivers support IP-broadcasting (thanks to Jookie and Ronald)
"How-To-Compile" document.

What does this package provide?

You want to link your Atari (Mega) ST/TT/STE/Falcon or Milan to an ethernet network and are looking for hardware and software? Here is another solution!

Prerequisites:

An Atari (Mega) ST/TT/STE/Falcon compatible machine with either Cartridge Port (ROM port) or ACSI-port or a Milan machine equipped with standard ISA slots
STing or MagiCNet or MINTNet networking software
A standard NE2000 networking card for the ISA bus as was used with PCs

This package contains a set of circuit schematics and driver software including source code. Both can be used under the GNU Public License. Please do read the file COPYING.TXT.

Adapter hardware comes in two flavours:

The ROM port (cartridge port) adapter hardware I co-designed with Lyndon Amsdon. This adapter is called EtherNEC
The ACSI port adapter hardware is called EtherNEA and was designed by me.

For the Milan, a built-in ISA slot is used.
