Only one that had one was the 1541 Ultimate Plus Ethernet.

Only one that had one was the 1541 Ultimate Plus Ethernet. The Ultimate II will support ethernet via a usb dongle if I'm not mistaken tho. -- Øyvind

Answering my own question : according to http://1541ultimate.net/content/index.php?view=article&catid=1:production&id=33:progress20091106&tmpl=component&print=1&page= the idea is to have the cs8900a cloned in the fpga, with a USB dongle with just the physical ethernet interface in it. Which would mean it would like to the c64 like a RR-NET still

Hello, just to get the history right: Jonno Downes wrote: > The "canonical" ethernet device for c64 is the "RR-NET" [...] > There are various stand-alone "clones" of the RR-NET, In facth, the RR-NET is a clone of TFE (link already given by Markus Grob: http://www.dunkels.com/adam/tfe/). Unfortunately, because of the way the RR clockport (where the RR-NET is connected to) works, the address decoding had to be changed. Thus, the RR-NET is not a drop-in replacement for the TFE, programs have to be changed slightly. It seems the original is forgotten, but the clone is considered being the original. Weird world.
