Confused on software for Spinneret W5100,W5200

I am just getting out my Spinneret to try it out and was looking for the latest software and found in this forum several versions and the OBEX has what appears to be very old 2011 versions.
This link which Mike G posted yesterday looks like the place to get driver software
http://code.google.com/p/propeller-w5200-driver/source/browse/trunk/#trunk%2F%20propeller-w5200-driver%2FSpinneret

but I see W5200.spin and W5100.spin. Are there two versions of the Spinneret, I see where Parallax sells the W5200 chip did everyone unsolder and replace the 5100 with a 5200.

Maybe the best way is to just get the zip file of Doc's Chicken Coop project and consider what he has in his project a good
snapshot in time and start there.

WebServer_5100.spin appears to be the basis for several projects with various versions with new features added .
@Mike G, Thank's for the effort you have put into the Spinneret.

Tom

    tdlivings, WebServer_5100.spin is the library for the WizNet 5100 which is the chip found on the Spinneret board. WebServer_5200.spin is designed for the WizNet 5200 chip. The W5200 will be on a new board which has not been released by Parallax. However, there are W5200 devices available from the folks at WizNet.

    Mike, do you know an ETA on Parallax's W5200 board?
