Econet Enthusiasts Area

You are visitor to the EEA.

Welcome to the Econet Enthusiasts Area (EEA for short). My intention here is to document Econet, and to provide you with the information you require.

My intentions may be laudable, or they may be laughable. Either way, I hope for this to be the place you come when you need to know something about Econet.

This area has been redesigned and extended. I hope the changes make the EEA more user-friendly. Please let me know what you think...

27th September 2000:
Due to a peculiar failure of the MDFS power supply (I've not stripped the machine to figure out what exactly happened), my Econet system is totally non-functional. Let's just say I required five 13A fuses and I think the thing has not only fried the MDFS, but every line driver in every bit of Econet equipment here.

It's times like this when you need a sense of humour!

Obviously, I'll try to fix the stuff. But if not, I'm afraid this may well mark the end of my association with that little ADLC. Can't do much with dead equipment - I should know, got tonnes of useless crap lying around!
Sigh! And I did so want to bodge an Econet card into the RiscPC backplane and see if I could get the firmware talking to it.
Oh well, we'll see... It'll have to wait to November, if not later...
