- Maybe not all Apple II C programs want to use the special I/O buffer setup.
- All Make-target-specific variables should go at the top of the Makefile as they are user settings.
The W5100 can be accessed pretty well from C without any library. A C program doing so is of course incompatible with the Uthernet and the LANceGS. So the program needs to make sure that that there' an Uthernet II. It can do so by comparing 'eth_driver_name' with "Uthernet II". However, when space it tight it doesn't seem reasonable to link all Ethernet drivers in the first place.
The Apple II file I/O needs a $400 byte page-aligned buffer for every open file. The default implementation takes those buffers from the heap. However, if a program doesn't use the heap for anything else it is more efficient to place those buffers below the program at $800 by linking iobuf-0800.o and thus avoiding to link any heap code at all. If a program never opens more than one file at a time it can have its start address at $800 + 1 x $400 = $C00.
It may be useful to be able to run the C programs right from the selector (without loading BASIC.SYSTEM first). Or maybe run them on boot by placing the LOADER.SYSTEM as first file in the root directory.
If there's RTC active then the user can at least have the current date set. However, if the machine runs for several days the user needs to re-run Date65.
HttpFileServer65 is inspired by "HFS ~ Http File Server" (http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/). It features an intuitive mapping of local disks and directories to HTTP paths. This allows to not only navigate to some file but to directly enter some file URL. This is especially usefull for downloads via wget, curl or alike.
However, in contrast to HFS it doesn't allow file uploads, only file downloads. On targets with complete DIO support it additionally allows disk image downloads.
Note: The Atari build currently fails as there's so far no getdevicedir() in the Atari C library.
This is just for the "C" interface of IP65. clk_timer.s replaces
atr_timer.s (on Atari) and is new for the C64 (there wasn't an
implementation for the "C" interface before).
