TCP/IP test on the SAM Coupe with the Trinity Ethernet Interface

This is a small program to test transfers via TCP/IP using the Trinity Ethernet Interface with the SAM Coupe.

What this program is doing is fetching a 32K file from the web straight to the SAM Coupe via ethernet using the Trinity Ethernet Interface. The video shows the SAM Coupe booting B-DOS from startup (the SAM has a Trinity Boot ROM installed so on powerup/reset it will load in B-DOS from an EEPROM that is onboard the Trinity) then via BASIC commands I'm typing in a virtual disk is selected on the SD card that's in the Trinity (As well as an ethernet port the Trinity interface also gives mass storage via SD / MMC memory cards) and the test program is then loaded. This then fetches a 32K file from the web containing the picture (24K) and a piece of eTracker music (8K).

In essense it's just a simple file downloader that can fetch files from web space - but it shows the great work that's progressing for getting the SAM Coupe online!

For more information on the Trinity Ethernet Interface and everything else I produce for the SAM Coupe please see my website at: www.samcoupe.com

I've put this test program together with help from the following talented people:

Adrian Brown - top SAM Coupe coder - who has ported a TCP/IP stack to the SAM Coupe (converting by hand C code to Z80 assembler!)

Simon Owen - another top SAM Coupe coder - who coded an Trinty Ethernet Driver. (visit Simon's website for more SAM Coupe stuff at: www.simonowen.com )

Warren Lee - cool artist and SAM game programmer - I converted one of his digital paintings to 16 colours for this demo. (Check out Warren's blog at: http://duncansguide.blogspot.com/ )

David Sanders - great SAM musician and a dab hand at knocking up tunes in Etracker! (The tune used was a conversion by David of some of the music from the Amiga/Atari ST game 'Harlequin', which was converted for a potential port of the game to the SAM a couple of years ago)
