Also in there was a whole load of stuff about the "Kilostream Econet Bridge", including explanation of how it worked and some source code; I think this was the point at which SJ took over maintenance of the bridge from Acorn. Rather more work to scan that, though not impossible - anyone g...

What happened here? More than one person seems willing to pay over a grand for a working A3000. Is this really where the market is at now?

I spotted this and thought folks here might enjoy playing with it: https://www.tejotron.com/

I've taken a look at the ROM and there's no obvious default password in there.

Is there a copy floating around that we could look at? Just wondering how easy it would be to burn a new EPROM with very simple code to dump the contents of the 192 bytes of static RAM out to screen/serial port.

There's a photo of the TD 2500 internals at http://binarydinosaurs.co.uk/Museum/Tan ... 2500-3.jpg. Have you removed the battery yet? I can't see anything that looks like an EEPROM, so that should wipe the password.

For similar workflows in the past, I configured Econet in BeebEm and ran aund (https://bjh21.me.uk/aund/) to give me a filesystem accessible from both the host machine and the emulator.

You can usually find BBC ROM images easily by searching Google. There are several NovaCAD versions at http://bbc.nvg.org/rom/Various/app/

I've seen recommendations on here for https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/din-cabl ... s/7241150/ as a cabling solution.

I'd expect this kind of weird behaviour if the switch port is doing auto-negotiation but the NIC isn't. You mentioned configuring the switch port auto-negotiation for 10Mbps so I'm assuming you've disabled auto-negotiation at both ends. Have you tried configuring 10Mbps half-duplex vs full-duplex at...

Expressing firm interest, provided you don't mind posting to Ireland (at additional cost, obviously).

Welcome Groch! It's nice to see more folks from around here joining the forum.

Thank you! I couldn't resist. Should make the school runs more entertaining.

What FTP server software are you using on the Win7 machine? The path on the client will be relative to the root directory configured for your FTP server, so "/" on the client will map to "G:\FTP" on your server. A few suggestions: Test the Win7 FTP server locally using an FTP cli...

I'm very interested in helping with this project. You might want to take a look at a couple of other projects which are doing similar 3.3V logic interfacing to an Econet module via level shifters and may have solved some of your issues already: https://github.com/stardot/ArduinoFilestore - this work...

https://www.retroprinter.com/ is another possible option, for connecting to more modern printers.

I'm pretty sure it's all handled by writing to mailbox directories. The source recently got uploaded at https://gitlab.riscosopen.org/RiscOS/So ... as/mailman

Not strictly Beeb-related but could be easily ported to 6502 with some search and replace. It might be something interesting to do with all those user port SD card interfaces now that Goteks have become so popular: https://www.pagetable.com/?p=1416

OSGBPB makes a heck of a difference with file transfers over Econet, which need a 4-way handshake for every byte with OSBGET/OSBPUT.

I'd like one please.

I've been working on implementing the Econet <-> AUN gateway, which is taking longer than expected. Once I've debugged that, I'll probably be in a better position to help debug the AUN side of the fileserver. Implementing a gateway with the W5100 is tricky because the built-in UDP stack only expects...

I sadly missed them. Please put me down for one from the next batch if you do one.

I want to see the effects of changing my Econet clock rate on ArduinoFilestore performance but I can't find any storage benchmarking programs for the Beeb. Before I go and hack something together (probably a sideways ROM to avoid depending on a filesystem), does anybody have any recommendations?

*FS 170 shouldn't hang, unless you're doing it on an emulated Beeb rather than a Master, in which case it's probably trying to load the "FS" program from the network.

Have you tried installing a packet sniffer like Wireshark and capturing UDP packets on port 32768 to see what's going on?

I just posted a faulty hard drive to Seagate in the UK and it cost me 11 euro. Ridiculous.

If the CoderDojo/CodeClub folks don't want the big/heavy stuff, please get in touch before ditching it. I'd be happy to come and collect (from an appropriate distance).

Any ideas?

Do you also have an entry in econet.cfg for your station 63? e.g. something like:
I've attached my econet.cfg and AUNMap files.

Hi Dan, I've been struggling to get BeebEm working with the Ethernet side. Any chance you could share your econet.cfg and aunmap files? Thanks, Steve My econet.cfg has this line for the Arduino on 10.0.8.104, mapping it to station 170: 0 170 10.0.8.104 32768 AUNMap has this to map my 10.0.8.0 netwo...

Thanks for the tips, I've got it working now and building from source.

Thanks Steve. I'm still seeing the same "SR2 Read Request - CTS loss - done" with your bin file and an issue 2 ADF10, so I suspect my hardware setup, possibly the cheap Due clone I'm using. If I use a Watford Electronics module, an AEH52 or an issue 1 ADF10 (which looks identical to the is...

Thanks Steve. I was using all the same versions as you except SDFat, which I've just downgraded from 1.1.4 to 1.1.2 but that hasn't helped.

Would you mind please posting your EconetServer.ino.bin so I can rule out the software as an issue? It should be in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\arduino_build_NNNNN.

Hi Gareth, I've been trying to get this working on breadboard for a few days with several different Econet modules but have not had any success. I have the fileserver working on the Ethernet side from a BeebEm client but the Econet just isn't working. When I boot up the Due, I see: Initialising Econ...
