Commodore PET on the 'Net

With the combination of two of my other boards I was able to actually connect a Commodore 8296 to an ethernet, running the TCP/IP protocol.
A 8296 with Ethernet
The links on the side show the two boards I used. The PET CS/A board adapter allows to use CS/A65 boards on the Commodore PET. The CS/A ethernet board then implements the actual ethernet connectivity.
Note that you need to use the CS/A adapter that includes the 3.3V generation, as the ethernet board needs that. In the picture on the right a 1.1A version was used but the 3.3V generation was added separately.
The driver basically is the same as the one shown on the ethernet board page. But due to the adapter card the address range changes and the adapter card has to be initiated separately before accessing the ethernet board.
PET CS/A uIP Stack
This is the adapted uIP stack. See the pet subdirectory. The bindings.s file
shows the adapted addresses. The cs8900a.c file shows the added board initialization.
