I've got a spare BNC->Phono cable that I can bring. Otherwise, I don't really
have any extras (unless you want straight VGA cables, in which case I can
bring lots!)

> - Any econet equipment/cables

I'll be bringing all the Econet bits I've got, namely:
1 x Home-made clock
2 x Home-made passive terminator
2 x Home-made multi-drop cables (can provide 8 machines + clock)
8 x Econet DIN-DIN cables, of various origins
1 x Econet DIN-DB15 cable (for A3020)
1 x Home-made Econet over RJ45 extender (1 x DIN plug to RJ45 and 1 x DIN
socket to DJ45)
1 x 20m RJ45 lead 
2 x 5m RJ45 lead
3 x RJ45 couplers
1 x Phil Blundell Econet socket box with 2 x RJ45 and 2 x Econet
1 x Phil Blundell Econet socket box with 1 x RJ45, 2 x Econet and in-built
terminator

This is rather more than is needed for the kit that I'm bringing, so it can
fill in for people that don't have enough.

> - 6-way/8-way multisocket adaptors

I'll certainly bring at least 2 6-way ones, more (and/or larger ones) if
I can find them

> myself, so definitely require some help here)

I'll bring 2 long leads - presumably it will be OK to daisy-chain multiways
off these (as the long leads I have access to are only 2 way on their own)

> - Kettle leads
> - 5.25" & 3.5" drives (single or dual) that run off the 
> Beeb's external power
> socket

I'll bring my dual drive that's powered from the Beeb, plus the RetroClinic
external BBC PSU.

> - a few BBC B's with Econet (as backup to the Caver setup)

I'll bring the spare BBC B that I was originally going to bring, but (to
save space in the car) this won't have a monitor.

Certainly, you can have either the BBC B or the Master, whichever is more
appropriate.

I'm staying overnight at the hotel Friday night, so I'll be available to
help setting up whenever I've finished breakfast Saturday AM.

Regards

Michael
