So, a while back, I got some boards from Sety as mentioned here: https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... it=pcb+set
Since the NetUSBee is the smallest board with the least parts (Compared to the TF520 and TF530 I also got), I've decided to have a crack at building it soon.
First off is to get the parts, and I've managed to get the main chip so far, the RTL8019AS, and I should have a lot of the discrete parts in my workshop.
Next up, if anybody has built one of these and has any advice, I'd be grateful to hear it!!
Can all registered uses please login, even just for a few minutes..
It helps build a picture where our "good traffic" is coming from..
Thanks :)

Re: NetUSBee Build
Hi RJ,
Got a working one myself, so no help there I'm afraid.
I was just going to say that the 520 and 530 parent really compatible with an Atari, so I wouldn't worry about those unless you have an Amiga you want to boost as well.

If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Re: NetUSBee Build
I do have an Amiga, but it's a 1200 with a trapdoor 030 accelerator & FPU, so TF board not really necessary.
Maybe I need to get more Amigas so I can build them
