It?s hard without an Econet interface for your PC* ?or an ?Econet<->AUN bridge
in dedicated hardware.

A USB Econet interface would be an idea, some are rumoured.

I have not tested this Arduino Filestore idea.? (I want to get my real Filestores
running again, & I think a PI might be a better platform for this kind of thing)

I believe you can run AUND on Linux to serve NetFS Archimedes clients but
that code doesn?t include support ?for 6502 clients since connecting them
isn?t practical.

 

*Even if you have an Ecolink card its hard to find an ISA slot these days
and it never did run a fileserver on dos 3.21.

Subject: [BBC-Micro] 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

R
