[PCR-1000] PCR-1000 Web Control?

Mon, 9 Feb 2004 16:46:59 +0100

Hi Max,

I'd be very interested in your PIC board with Ethernet, since I'm looking at
doing something similar, but with audio streaming built-in - could you share
the design and code? What compiler did you use? Any info would be greatly
appreciated.

Regards,

Mike
