CS/A65 WWW server running on a C64!

C64 and Internet? C64 and Web server? You can't imagine that? You think it's impossible? But it works!

This very file is stored on a VC1541, connected to a C64. This C64 has Daniel Dallmanns 9600 baud RS232 userport interface. This serial line is connected to a SLIP (serial line internet protocol) host which is connected to the internet.

The C64 runs a new operating system, i.e. the OS/A65 multitasking OS. Once this OS is up and running, a server task that serves the serial line with the SLIP protocol is started. This server then responds to the internet and WWW requests. The server is included in the Operating system.

The version currently running is OS/A65 1.3.91g. Expect version 1.4 quite soon.


Many thanks to Michael Hettenbach for providing the hardware and the SLIP connection at his provider base in the domain rhein-neckar.de.
