<h1>netboot65</h1>
<p>
netboot65 is a project to support network booting Commodore 64 computers. It is based on the <a href=http://ip65.sourceforge.net/>IP65 TCP/IP stack</a>. Current components are:
<ul>
<li>a server (written in <a href=http://www.ruby-lang.org/>ruby</a> for maximum portability) that provides a TFTP server with some proprietary extensions to allow clients to request a directory listing.
<li>clients (currently <!--available as a disk image for Apple ][, and either--> a cartridge or a standalone prg file for C64) that initialises an IP stack, acquires an IP address via DHCP, queries the local LAN for a TFTP server,
and then allows a program file to be downloaded via TFTP and executed. Currently only 'single load' programs are supported, but many old games and utility programs can be run in this way.
<li>the KIPPER API (currently for C64 only) that allows for IP aware applications to be developed without being tied to a specific MAC address, IP address or network device, as is the case with most existing
IP libraries for 6502 computers.
</ul>
