The manual is online. There was no mention by Acorn of any problems they
tried to overcome.

That would be the approach I was thinking off. Take the master econet
interface and simply graft it onto a PC comms interface. Would USB be at
appropriate in solving polling times that the parallel interface may have
problems with? You could even graft on a 6502 and use the microcode from the
ISA card :-)
