Thanks for that, I tried this out, but all it seemed to do was reformat the
disc to ADFS, maybe it was for if you got fed up with the filestore and
wanted to use the HD on a beeb :) I think the Filestore has a different
format to ADFS.

Maybe I'll have to have another ponder over the circuit diagarams and the
Electron AUG. There are several refernces to Econet in the Electron AUG,
so I think acorn had intended to make an Econet Interface for it, was that
the "missing" Plus Two?

Anyone else interested in econetting an electron? Probably not, it does sound
a bit daft really, but its the only (acorn) machine I have that's not on the
econet, so I'd quite like to econet it, and it'd be a good challenge ;)

Your 2nd processor sounds interesting, if you have time could you scan it
in? Any other interesting stuff. I'm looking through my 8bit stuff, I'll
try and get some stuff scanned on dad's scanner while I'm at home ;)
