Congratulations! My pre-order will be on it's way as soon as I know what postage to .au will be

I would like to offer the EPROM option at C4, but that depends on someone creating some 16kB cart images that can be loaded into the EPROM.

Well I'm pretty close to having a usable "netboot65" image that will fit the following in 8KB:
- a dhcp client that will initialize the IP stack via DHCP
- a tftp client (that will let you d/l and boot any prg up to 47K in size from a tftp server)
- an API that apps can use to access UDP functions, i.e.
- d/l a file via tftp
- lookup a hostname (or a "dotted quad" string like "192.168.1.1") to get the corresponding IP address
- listen on a UDP port
- send a UDP packet
- some helper functions for printing (e.g. to print an IP address, a hex digit or a null terminated string)
Was hoping to debug and upload this last night but a sev 1 at work took priority

A future release may add TCP functionality, but not in the very near term (unless someone else takes the initiative to add it

).
Given only 8KB of 16KB is used, it may also be possible to put a speed loader in, but that would require someone smarter than me to provide the necessary code.
BTW is it possible to turn off the ROM via software (ideally through the same mechanism used by Retro Replay to control GAME and EXROM, i.e. by writing a $02 to $de00?).
