It's a Master. At the moment I don't have anything to actually network
it with (taking it to reunions excepted) but at some point I'm hoping
to get a regular BBC B as well, and it would be especially cool to
network them together. Though I suppose setting up an actual home
Econet would require a whole bunch of extra hardware.
I don't suppose anyone's ever invented an Econet-to-Ethernet TCP/IP
bridge? Or whether that would even make sense?
