Interest in connecting together older 8 bit kit is as high as ever, and we
love the opportunity to bridge that to the newer 32 bit world, using Elesar`s
Econet NIC for the Risc PC/A7000/A7000+.
Updated design
--------------
Surface mount components have moved on since the Risc PC first came out, so
this brand new design manages to fit all the parts on a single side - great
for the space constrained area towards the back of the computer case.
There`s an on board 512kb (64kB) EPROM containing the Econet 5.81 driver,
which runs in either 26 bit mode for RISC OS 3 and 4, and is also 32 bit
compatible for use with RISC OS 5.
The line driver IC, which is directly coupled to the line, is in a turned pin
socket so can be swapped out should it be damaged by electrical surges.
Easy fit kit
------------
No soldering required; simply plug the NIC into the slot at the rear of the
case following the images on the instruction card and secure in place with 2
fixing screws, provided.
The NIC costs ?111 (?92.50+VAT) and is available now
https://shop.elesar.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=96
A 1.2m drop lead is included in the price with standard 5 pin DIN to connect
to a socket box.
