I was thinking about something to do exactly that. I saw this article years
ago in the BATC Magazine (British Amateur Television Club) and it got me
thinking of connecting it up with Ethernet to download new pages from the
Internet and a couple of gig of Flash for more permanent storage. A direct
link to issue 199 of the magazine;

Unfortunately, the diagrams have been scanned at low resolution and the
website for PE10BW seems to be dead. At least it is relatively do-able and a
lot of the ground work has already been done.

Cheers
