Well according to that Wiki page there's hardly going to be a shortage of
Econet terminals, so yes - you would be more than welcome to leave the Compact
at home! ;)
The only thing I am slightly concerned about is whether we'll have enough
econet cables/parts to cater for two separate setups ('Caver' and lobby) as I
won't be able to supply 'owt (though I think Joel said he could probably
provide all of the bits for Caver with the possible exception of terminators,
I think?!).
Btw, will you need someone to supply a monitor for the A7000? (If Jonathan
says 'yes' can anyone volunteer one? I won't have room to bring any more
screens).

Were you able to get hold of Cave/Caver from either Rob, Joel or Ian?
Also, can anyone tell me whether any of Caver/MUGINS/Arena II make use of
coloured text/graphics? If not, then I'll bring mono monitors for use with the
3 x Beebs ...
