  • Prototyping - tools for prototyping with ethernet - interesting to anyone wanting to do an 8 bit ethernet hardware project.
  • Logic design - how the board pages memory, traps execution, and works with other hardware.
  • W5100 - The ethernet PHY/MAC/TCP offload engine. Also of interest to other 8 bit ethernet projects.
  • Memory - Spectranet memory layout and usage.
  • Parts list - the "bill of materials" for those who want to roll their own.
  • Spectranet Schematic - PNG and PDF versions of the schematic
