27-Jan-2016    Added a video clip showing the 'Interface 1bis' connecting over Ethernet to both servers and peers. 25-Jan-2016    Support for message 'broadcasting', via station number 0, was added. The difference to the original ZX Interface 1 is that messages must be delivered also beyond the local area network, so that 'broadcast' has to be understood as: 'all linked stations'. 20-Jan-2016    A control protocol for communication over IP networks and a driver for the Microchip ENC26J60 Ethernet controller were added to the microcontroller firmware.    This enables buffered data exchange between 'Interface 1bis' units using the OPEN#, PRINT #, INPUT #, INKEY$ # and CLOSE# statements, in a manner strictly compatible with the original ZX Interface 1 'extended BASIC'. It also allows all file-oriented operations to be performed on up to seven networked 'stations', which can be server PCs or other 'Interface 1bis' units. |
