It is possible and I have done it. A handful of 74-series logic and a 
master Econet module is all the hardware you need, and a patched NFS3.6 
ROM. I have the details somewhere if you're interested.

You can't run the Econet all that fast; but it's workable. The biggest 
issue is the electron will have screen flicker issues in modes 0-3 due to 
the NMIs, so if you're not actually using the econet you'll probably want 
mask the NMIs (reading from NETOFF).

Cheers
