  • Surf the web on the Apple II ????

    To get web access on the Apple II, the usual way is to run a terminal
    program and then dial up to some shell account.

    However, there now is a TCP/IP stack, telnet client and minimal
    web browser available for the 6502, with source, at:

    Currently, the Contiki environment (which includes TCP/IP,
    Telnet, HTTP, HTML) runs on the Commodore 64, but it's written
    in a way such that it should be easy to port to other 6502-based
    environments (VIC-20, 8-bit Nintendo consoles, Atari, Apple II,
    etc)

    I guess that's the theory but it hasn't happened yet. It doesn't seem to be THAT easy to port or someone would have done it by now.
