In the past, there have been numerous discussions in comp.sys.cbm and elsewhere about the possibility of connecting a standard Commodore 64 to an Ethernet network. There have even been a few attempts at designing Ethernet adapters for the C64. Those have not amounted much other than vigorous discussions, however - no working hardware has been produced.

In the discussions, different people have viewed the idea of Ethernet for the C64 with different amounts of optimism. Some have proclaimed that connecting a C64 to an Ethernet is impossible and totally out of the question, whereas others have thought it to be quite simple to realize. Still, nobody has produced any hard facts to back up any of their their claims.

This is no longer the case.

We are proud to announce what we believe to be the world's first Commodore 64 Ethernet adapter - TFE - The Final Ethernet[*]. The TFE card plugs into the cartridge expansion port and does not require any extra hardware such as SuperCPU accelerators or RAM expansions.

We have a TFE-equipped C64 connected to the global Internet, and it is of course running a TCP/IP stack and the obligatory web server.
