Re: Netrom

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Let me know if you cannot find it as well as which version.. I recommend ThjeNET 2,08b I believe is what I always use..

Ill dig out that version and have it on hand.. May have to fire up my old WiNXP Machine. That is what I use it for with my eprom burner¡­.

?

I did fine Thenet? x1j4 I have never used it. I think it needs 27c512 Chip and a slight mod where u lift one leg of the Eprom and run a wire to a location on board near by. It supports IP over Radio if you are on NET44..

?

There are 2.11 and 2.12 version of TheNET node that are not as bug free as 2.08b

?

The non x1j4 use a 27c256 Eprom..

NET/ROM and TheNET were very similar. ?Both run in an EPROM in a Z80 TNC-2 made by TAPR or licensed from TAPR. ?Companies that made these include AEA, PacComm, MFJ, DRSI, maybe others. The EPROM was a 27256 or 27512 (maybe 27513) depending on the vintage of the program. ?

?

TheNET and NET/ROM both included elements of the same open source project.?

?

The were functionally compatible on the air and had similar programming. ?TheNET was free, and released in a dozen different versions by several different authors and was itself open source. TheNET had the callsign and node-name set in the EPROM which could be read and modified if you had the appropriate programs and EPROM tools (hardware).?

?

NETROM was closed source and sold as a commercial product by Software 2000 for about $70 per EPROM. ?The callsign was encrypted in the EPROM but everything else could be changed over-the-air. ?

?

If you want to write an EPROM for a TNC-2 compatible TNC, look for TheNET.?

?

I edited a book on the subject of TheNET back in 1994 that was published by NEDA. (North East Digital Association). ?

It¡¯s on?.?
