AVR Print server connection - Re: [avr-gcc-list] USB or FireWire ?

[Grant Stockly]

I just joined the list and so this is a late reply, but I thought I should 
mention that its possible to interface an AVR to an Etnernet print server 
by using the protocol described.  A 2313 at 7.456MHz is able to get 
124kbyte/s off the print server.

I specifically used the printserver for an mp3 player.  All that was needed 
was to open an FTP connection to the print server and "upload" the 
mp3.  The mp3 would then copy at the bitrate of the mp3 (due to the fact of 
the MAS3507D's demand pin).  (19kbyte/s...)  The print server had 128kbyte 
of sram buffer so I had plenty of time to get the next file uploaded.  I 
never had ANY problems with 320kbit MP3s.  Nothing would make the thing 
stutter.

The print server could be used for many things, such as an intelligent 
Christmas light controller located far away from a host PC, the host PC 
could even be located accross the world!  : )  My HP Jet direct can get a 
dynamic IP right off the cable modem...
