[Coco] CoCo Ethernet for $25-$30...

[Frank Pittel]

Allen,

I've seen the wiznet chips and they are nice. They seem like they're intended
to work with microcontrollers but it wouldn't take a lot of massaging to get
one to work with a coco.

I understand that Mark M. has been looking at and/or working with the wiznet chips
to provide ethernet for the coco. I thought I heard him mention it briefly at a fest
a few years ago and know nothing of the progress or status.
