Subject: Re BBC serial filing system

Hi All,

I noticed a comment a few messages regarding the writing of a serial filing
system for the bbc (possibly using xfer) I am going to make some attempt at
this, so if anyone has any ideas as to what they want it to be able to do
then please drop me a line. In short the idea is to utilise the current file
i/o vector set and then to write the drivers to run the link. The proggie
will have to be in assembler, and possibly be blown into ROM.
 The inital design will be via BBC and a linux machine, mainly because I
find the serial link programing slightly easier.

Progress will probably be slow at first, as I haven't programmed a BBC in
years, but I learnt assembler on a BBC all those many years ago.

The idea, for me at least is to have a BBC on my home network, at least for
basic ftp/telnet and possibly email.... why? ...... well why not????
