Apple II Web Server version 2.0
Posted by: luddite on 2008-02-16 21:46:04
Okay, now it's getting serious... I've installed my Uther card in a 64K IIe with a single 140K drive. It's possibly the slowest server on the planet, and is very likely one of the oldest.

It's running Contiki Web Server version 2.0, which seems a bit more stable than 1.3. Anyway, I'm hoping a few of you will hit it over the remainder of the weekend so I can see how it holds up...

Did I mention it's really slow?

It seems quite finicky as far as browsers go... here's what I've tried

IE5 excellent

Safari so-so

Firefox terrible

Lynx pants

Sweet. You've even got it serving images; brave. 😉

No dynamic content?!

Not tooooo slow.

Firefox is fine here...

I've been tweaking the HTML... it's rather fussy about hyperlinks being in lowercase and tags being all uppercase. I think I'll have to ditch the linked stylesheet and embedded images though. Early days yet...

exaggerated yes, but still...i'm super serial.

that is impressive though luddite, very cool.

Oh, and the "Visual" page brings up a broken image link, and clicking on the image brings you to a dead link.

Again. Ridiculously pimp.

Works great under Safari 3.0.4 on 10.4.

"This is more-or-less what an Apple IIe looks like to another Apple IIe."

Nuh-uh! That's an Apple II+, every IIe knows that!

Contiki just sooo rawks my face! I need to dig out my IIgs and set it up sometime.

Wait - how is your GS on a network? Did they make ethernet cards for it??

They do (and/or did). The A2RetroSystems Uthernet card is a current one, waiting on another production run:

There was the LANceGS that doesn't seem to be available any more:

Ahh I get it - Neat!

It's not, yet. I got the GS and a "box o' stuff" several years ago, and I recognized one of the things in the box as an ethernet card. I've never tried it out.

I really need about a 2 week vacation without distraction so that I can "geek out" and get some projects done. 🙂

Problem loading page. No joy. 🙁

Will the Uther card and Contiki work on a IIGS?

It's not the most reliable server on the internet ;-)

Will the Uther card and Contiki work on a IIGS?
Yes it will.

It's probably a LANceGS card, since the Uther would have been quite new and unlikely to be found in a "box o' stuff". It will also work with Contiki AFAIK.
