Subject: Econet via Ethernet & PC
I would imagine a PIC could interface to the master type Econet and
provide a USB interface, or even direct to Ethernet.
If a Pi could cope with the interrupt response needed (the ADLC has I
think 2 bytes of buffering so you need to be quick, that said a Pi is
what 1.3GHz thesedays and the BBC was 2Mhz) you could probably build one
into a fileserver with an Econet 'HAT'
