The Econet Starter Kit contains most of the components you need to start up your PRODUCTS network of microcomputers. Detailed fitting instructions are included in the kit. Filestore E01S For maximum efficiency it is recommended that a single network should not exceed Filestore E40S (40 Mb) 500 metres in length. However longer Filestore E60S (60 Mb) distances can be covered by joining Archimedes/Master Econet networks using an Econet bridge. Using Module this method there is little restriction 100 m Cable on length. 10 stn Lead Set Econet Starter Kit Econet Bridge Econet Socket Kit Printer Server EPROM DOS + Econet Software
