I'm wondering about the choice of the Wiznet 5100 for the Uthernet II.  It may be related to when the project got started, but the 5200 had come out almost two years ago and it improved a lot on the 5100, possibly cheaper too.  Then again, maybe it's because the 5200 removed the direct bus interfacing capability and only provides SPI to communicate with it -- this could have needed more supporting chips in the PCB.

It's just that SPI is becoming the common way of interfacing with a lot of these modern chips or hobbyist boards that it may end up simplifying an Uthernet card (I could be totally wrong here).  The actual programming interface exposed by the Uthernet card to an Apple II program could remain the same.  Glenn himself is no stranger to SPI, as he seems to have worked with it with other boards.
