Right, as it's stored in some RAM on the CS8900. It should stay after a
soft reset though.

Which is the reason the Apple II version of Contiki has
it saved on the boot disk. That way it loads on startup.

I haven't gotten around to the C64 version yet. You know,

The C64 version of Contiki does too. It's just some standalone C64 network
apps that assume the MAC is already set.

Good to know. Thanks.

Well, the CS8900 MAC can be set, can it not? I believe we
did it on the Apple II Uthernet card, but it's been a while,
a looooooooooooong while, so, it's like, hmmmm, not sure.

Yes, it has to be in order to get an assigned IP address.
