*I AM, *NET, *NOTIFY, *REMOTE, *VIEW, *USERS, *DISCS, *BYE, *PRIV...if these commands have brought happy memories from the 1980s flooding back to you then now is the time to upgrade your BBC micro to Econet!

I have put together these kits with all-new parts to allow you to add the Econet interface to your BBC Model B.

Each kit contains: 8 integrated circuits including the rare 68B54 Econet Controller and DNFS ROM 7 IC sockets 2 capacitors Econet DIN socket Resistor network pack 1 bank of 16 PCB link pins 7 link jumpers for setting the station number 20 resistors Full fitting instructions All the parts contained in this kit are new - even the obsolete 68B54 which is "new old stock" The microchips are supplied in a reusable box which is handy for keeping all your spare ROMs in when you have fitted the upgrade.

All the parts are individually packaged and labelled so there is no need to fumble about wondering which resistor is which! Full instructions are provided with the kit - just solder in the sockets, capacitors, resistors and pins, plug in the ICs, set the links for the station number and move a couple of other links. Then switch on and say *I AM to your new Econet Station!

This is the BeebMaster makeshift worktop showing how I put together these kits, with tubes of ICs and sockets, lengths of resistors, packets of capacitors, pins and links, sticky labels, scissors, plastic bags, instructions and notes!

Please note that fitting this kit involves a reasonable amount of soldering to your priceless BBC Micro and should not be attempted unless you are a competent solderer or can find somebody to do it for you! This upgrade is only suitable for the BBC Model A and BBC Model B and not for the Model B+ or Master Series machines.

I can supply Econet upgrade kits for the BBC Model B+ if you contact me at the e-mail address below. For the BBC Master Series, the BeebMaster Econet Module is available.
