Commodore 64 Ethernet Adapter - 64NIC+

(Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club - 2009)

This ethernet adapter allows you to connect your C64 to your LAN and access modern resources including the Internet! Thanks to the Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club releasing this simple to use network adapter can open a whole new range of possibilities for Commodore 64 enthusiasts.

It has always been a dream to connect your C64 to your network or even the Internet, in the past few years, afternarket 3rd parties started developing adapters to enable you to go online with your Commodore computer. Most solutions were convoluted or required you to purchase two separate pieces of EXPENSIVE hardware to be able to access your network... that is, until the Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club developed and released a single, all inclusive ethernet cartridge at an affordable price.

This 64NIC+ ethernet adapter works like a dream and comes bundled with a disk containing some third party programs (WarpCopy, Contiki, GuruTerm) to allow you to interface with PCs on your network or to surf the web.

There are four toggle switches on the side of the NIC, the default position for all of the switches is up (Don't change these unless you know what you are doing).

Switch 1: rr-Net(up)/Standard mode
Switch 2: EPROM off(up)/on
Switch 3: 64(up)/128 mode
Switch 4: IO bank 1(up)/2

I am currently in the process of programming a few web pages for Geek Vintage to be hosted on my Commodore 64 using the Contiki web server and this awesome 64NC+ network card.

Basic system specifications for the 64NIC+ LAN cartridge are listed below.
