Hi Phil,

Well, it seems you've progressed a bit more than me; you're already working
on the schematics :-) Basically it's the same as what I was thinking of; a
microcontroller with some RAM, an Econet interface and an Ethernet
interface. I do like the status LED's, I think they should be very useful.

This is what I've got so far:

I've chosen to add an additional FlashROM chip so there's enough code space
for future expansion. I'm also thinking about incorporating an IDE
interface, because I think it would be neat if it also had some Econet
fileserving capabilities :-)

Tell me what you (and others) think about it.

Cheers,
Eelco
