In a follow-up to my previous post on the subject "AUN to Econet". I am now looking for specific parts for the A5000 I'm planning on using as the fileserver. Initially I thought this machine had a Master 128 Econet expansion board fitted, but it doesn't seem to have any networking hardware at all. So I'm in need of two things...
1x Econet expansion board. (Doesn't matter what type either Master 128 type or newer one as long as it will fit in with the second item on this list.
1x Ethernet expansion board. (I'm planning to fix up both RPC class hardware and earlier stuff on this LAN.)
I'd be grateful to anybody who could donate this stuff or point me in the right direction.

FWIW you sound like you're doing exactly what I was 12 months ago - setting up an econet bridge. Going out on a limb slightly but if that's what you're doing i.e. getting your A5000 on the web so you can download whatever then put it onto a beeb via the econet route - it's good fun and quite rewarding but could I respectfully suggest trying one of Sprow's Ethernet modules for the Master 128. If you have an ethernet NAS - this is basically all you need - you can treat your NAS like an ADFS disk. I got mine a fortnight ago and love it - so much# easier than getting the L4FS to work on RISCOS, configuring ant internet suite etc. As I say it was fun to do but this way is so much neater and future proof!
I may be talking complete rubbish because I've assumed a lot here - but thought it was worthwhile saying before you splash out on a lot of A5000 hardware that you probably won't be able to sell on for a profit (like I did!!!).
What I'm trying to do is setup an A5000 as a fileserver for both an Econet network consisting of older RISC OS equipment and an A7000+ & StrongARM RPC equipment. So I need these parts to directly plug them into the fileserver.

EBay is no good to me as I don't have a credit/debit card. However, if someone in the know could sort us one out for at most a tenner, then I'd be happy to forward them a cheque to cover purchasing costs and P&P. If you could e-mail me at this address if you'd be happy to do this.

That'll be ideal... As I'm sticking it in an A5000, I don't need the lead. But the rest certainly solves that problem. I'll get a cheque for a tenner and the return address to you by post...
That just leaves me with the Ethernet podule for A5000 to get...
