Sorry - what I was trying to say was you can probably ignore it on the
assumption that you don't plug a Tube in.Did the Tube registers move on the
Electron does anyone know? Or was it mainly the ULA area that shuffled?

I'd be seriously impressed if an entire FS and Tube code fitted into 8k.

Agreed.NFS 3.60 is definately a better place to branch from,as it wont
assume any of the hidden RAM on the Master,but I stand by my assumption that
*if* Econet was available for the Elk it would more likely be an ANFS
flavour,
