Which way round are you thinking?
An adapter to allow a PC to be networked to Econet (via USB), or a means of
connecting to a beeb via USB by pretending to be an Econet?
The Econet interface has the advantage that it runs internally at 2MHz and
has access to NMIs, but the software overhead is quite high.
