"Nicknamed "Project WarpNET" - this homemade Commodore 64 RR-Net compatible Ethernet card was built around Olimex CS8900A-H a low cost development board with the popular Cirrus Logic CS8900A-CQ3 Ethernet controller. and 27c256 eprom with 4 bank 8k cartridge suport. Why project WarpNET? Just power on Your C64 and You are ready to use WarpCopy and transfer disk image files to Your 1541 disk drive or from it to Your PC - no hassle with set-mac or loading WarpCopy of the floppy disk - neat :)

This homemade C64 Ethernet NIC is compatible with all of the software written for popular RR-Net card.

WarpCopy after exomizing and converting it to cartridge image fitted nicely into single 8k bank. You can populate the rest of the banks with any software You want (that can be fitted in 8k rom ofc).

I was mainly inspired to create WarpNET by a project back from 2007 called FB-NET:
