I've mailed Chris the E01/E20 formatter disc image.

BTW:  I think there is a way of deleting the password file without
needing to format the disc, but I forget the details.  If you ask on
comp.sys.acorn.networking or look at Dejanews, this subject was
discussed recently.  The regular posters are a bit twitchy about giving
out this info on a public newsgroup though, so you may need to persuade
them you're not a 'l33t h4cK3r d00d looking to crack his school's
network.

I'm sure it's possible, but don't think it's been done.  (Millions of
people will now post to say I'm wrong again...)  I'd think it would have
to be a custom project.

I have project notes somewhere for a home-build second processor for the
Electron.  If anyone would like me to scan them and put them up on a
website for download, I will.
