Has anyone ever seen (or heard of) an RML380Z with Econet network
support (rather than the usual coaxial that RML used for its CHAIN
network)?
I picked up an SJ Research MDFS Econet fileserver the other day which
I'll have running at the museum. However, the docs at one point (and one
point only, it seems so far) mention RML380Z fileservers and 380Z
machines with Econet. (I've got an RML380Z fileserver, but naturally it
has a CHAIN network board and not Econet!)
As I collect Torch, Acorn and RML stuff (and Torchnet is at least
electrically compatible with Acorn's Econet) it's of particular interest
as it implies one day I might be able to connect machines from all three
manufacturers.
I've never seen mention of Econet support in any of RML's documentation
though, so have a feeling it was maybe a product that never saw the
light of day...

Turned this up on google :
MACE system
REGARDING Mr Taurin's letter (Micromail, October 1983) concerning the
use of 380Z disc drives in a network of BBC Micros, MACE
(Microelectronics and Computers in Education) have a network which
will allow up to seven BBC Micros to use a 380Z as a file server and
as a printer.
I have used this sytem for some time and find it an excellent one and
quite reasonably priced.
Apart from this single, and may I say uncharacteristic, error, I have
found your magazine to be the best on the market.
Indeed the articles on Body Building are especially useful and other
periodicals are particularly weak in this area. - J.A.McBride,

That's it i'm afraid.
