[Coco] NitrOS-9 Tools for the CoCoIOn Ethernet Card

[Michael Furman]

Hi Allen,

You and your Jolt Cola were definitely missed at CoCo Fest, hope you are doing ok these days.

The Computer Conect CoCoIOn is an Ethernet card for the CoCo using a WizNet W5100S chip.  This chip is also used on the Uthernet 2 card for Apple ][ computers as well as a bunch of others for other retro systems.  The chip is a lot higher level than CS8900 chips and is relatively easy to program for.

The card is manufactured and sold by Rick Ulland of Computer Conect https://computerconect.com/
