Hi,

I have p112 and a question about "Terry’s Ethernet p112 serial adapter board".? What did you get from Terry's site to connect the p112 serial to the Ethernet?? Just the "LAN Terminal daughterboard" or is something else needed?

Thanks
?? David,

I'm using his "P112-4 Port LAN" card.

"The production 4-Port LAN adapter provides 4 LAN-based 10/100BaseT connections.? One connection is dedicated to Terminal I/O; the remaining three can be assigned as desired.? Uses can include Printer I/O and a general purpose data link between CP/M machines.? Very fast Terminal I/O!? We've tested a stack of adapters consisting of the P112, two GIDE adapters, plus the 4-Port LAN adapter - operations were flawless.? The P112 communicates directly with the 16C554 Quad UART, so all LAN operations 'look like' standard serial I/O to the P112."

I suggest e-mailing him terryg@... and see if he can provide more details -- I thought there was more documentation about it on his site somewhere, but can't find it.

The TCP/IP "heavy lifting" is provided by some little module, so I was thinking this might be similar approach to use for the Z80MC.
