If anyone (luddite?) can point at some good resources for installing Contiki on an Apple II, that would be much appreciated. I've googled and poked around the home page but haven't found anything. I've got a IIgs not doing anything, and it would be fun to experiment.

v 1.3 has the web browser and a few other apps (mostly just proof-of-concept).

v 2.1 is the one you need if you're planning to set up a web server.

Have fun!

Does Contiki act much differently on the 16-bit GS than the older 8-bit Apples?

No, it's just like running any other 8-bit software. The increased speed is a bonus, but you still wouldn't call it "snappy".
