About network

The ethernet adapter Zonet 10Mbps 16-bit Ethernet PC Card (ZEN1010) works fine. Just have to remember to install network from the options CD. There seems to be some DHCP-problem so I have to use a fixed IP# for the Cassiopeia. Correction, DHCP seems to work if I enter a correct DNS-server and always run MSIE before VNC.

About use

Currently I use it as a remote for my mp3-jukebox. The "jukebox" is plain PC running Linux. They are connected by ethernet. Using VNC to get a virtual desktop from the linux-box to the Cassiopeia. I did plan to use XMMS as player but the screen on the Cassiopeia is lousy so I am using cplay instead. Cplay is a plain command-line player. I did finally find a B/W skin for xmms called XawMMS. Now XMMS in VNC works fine once I thought of turning off the title scroll (autoscroll_songname=FALSE in config-file). The VNCviewer chokes of overload otherwise.
