CP/M Plus on ZX Spectrum +3 has ability to load device drivers from normal disk files (with .fid extension) on boot. A Spectranet device brings networking abilities to the Spectrum computers. This driver allows connection to a remote disk image registered as N: and a remote character device (e.g. serial console) registered as SPCNET: (namely, one can type `DEVICE aux:=spcnet` to redirect AUX: to SPCNET: and use it as a serial port over ethernet).
Proven to work on the real thing and in the FUSE emulator.
This driver can work along with spectram.fid driver exposing unused part of Spectranet's RAM as the M: ramdisk.
NO BINARY RELEASES!
To make use of this driver, you need to edit the hardcoded IP address of the remote host you wish to connect, compile the driver code with Pasmo assembler, run FIDCSUM on it and copy the final binary to your bootable disk.
Caveats:
- Only 16MB disk images are supported.
- All errors are non-recoverable and require hardware reset.
