Don't the manuals I lent you indicate?

Anyway, the end section of the board is, if I remember correctly, an
almost exact copy of the standard Econet interface, so the chips and
layout should be the same.  Look at the board; you'll see where you can
saw it off to get a spare Econet module ;-)

If that doesn't tell you what you need to know, I'll dig out my own
Ecolink board -- but I'd prefer not to.  It's buried in a box on the
shelves in the back corner of my workshop, and I'm sure you remember
what that looks like...
