It's been a while since it was first shown publicly at KansasFest,
but I just finished getting the info on the 17-board AppleCrate II
up on my website.

I have not yet fully documented the new minor revision of Nadanet,
version 2.1, but the functional changes that were made are described
in the AppleCrate II writeup.

This is much more transportable 'Crate than the AppleCrate I, and
it has a "master" machine built in, which I find convenient.  The
audio subsystem is also much improved.  And, of course, it has 16
slave processors!

The whole point of this exercise is to enable experiments with
parallel programming, which is now the clear direction for the
future of software.  If you have 3 or 4 Apple II's around, you
can run NadaNet on them and experiment too--they don't have to
be assembled into an AppleCrate!  ;-)
