Nice. I have an Econet module in my A5000, but want to sort something out to connect it to my home network.HigashiJun wrote: Thu Sep 07, 2023 12:06 pm Oh, and made an ECONET ADF10 replica meanwhile...

The main chip and two caps are still missing though but should be delivered soon.
Pins will have to be soldered too.

Re: Archie A3000 inbound
So, finally here is the final result of my repairs:
I am still waiting for the EPROMs to arrive in order to burn RISC OS 3.11 and check everything works as it should.

It lives !
(and the dust collected on my desk too
)
Well, it's just the supervisor prompt but keep in mind I had only a black screen as greetings when I purchased the machine.
I should have more time tomorrow to connect the keyboard and perform a "DEL" + power on start.
