Subject: Econet via Ethernet & PC

Hi all

 

There's quite a bit of modern stuff around for the BBC (Datacentre, SPI,
RPi0 etc etc) but has anyone done anything clever with Econet?   About 10
years ago, I put together a sort of Econet with a clock box, a BBC Model B
(with Econet), an A5000 (with Ethernet and Econet) and lashed together a
means by which I could create an image with ADFS Explorer on the PC and use
the A5000 as a sort of bridge to move the stuff to the Model B.

 

The trouble was, work though it did, it was a bit clunky (and didn't handle
the execution address for each file brilliantly).   Is there a way, for
example, of having a Beeb look to a PC for its Station 254?   Presumably the
PC would have to be running BeebEm or something similar.

 

Cheers
