The Netgear DGN2000 does as well (we've just got one to use with the
Omega). You can even configure it using RISC OS (Firefox or Oregano
2)!

I haven't managed to uninstall HP updater. However you can set it to
"update never", which works reasonably well.
The others can be removed, although you will probably find quite a lot
of things in "add/remove programs", whose purpose isn't immediately

How did I forget that! The general advice with HP printers is NOT to
run the setup program if you can possibly avoid it. Instead, unpack
the files and stop. Among the files will be a .inf file.
(If you use Start, Run, %temp%, you will probably find the unpacked

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...

I've found an A4 floppy drive, boxed from the man, but don't know if
it's any good since I don't have an A4 any more. Anyone interested?

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.

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.

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

You didn't say which printer. A lot of the HP Lasers are network
printers (as well as USB).
