It's been talked about before, but I don't think anyone with the combined
smarts and free time has done it :-)
I think some sort of generic PC-based Econet interface would be a better bet
though, couple that with Linux / *BSD drivers and it'd be dead easy to make a
bridge or do other useful things...
I've got a kosher Acorn Ecolink board, but that's hardly a good solution for
everyone - these days there must be far better ways of adding Econet
functionality to a PC.
