There is still lots of interest in legacy kit and Elesar's latest product to support this market is an Econet adapter for the RiscPC.
This compact card plugs into an empty rear slot and has both 26bit/32bit drivers to support RISC OS 3, 4 and 5. A 1.2 metre cable is included. It works with Risc PC/A7000/A7000+.
If you want to get 'online' retro style, it looks like the perfect solution.
The NIC costs £111 (£92.50+VAT) from

Is that connected on the NIC place? Is it possible to have both Econet adapter and Ethernet? |

There's normally Ethernet podules on ebay, but not this week it seems! Both the DesignIT/iCubed 'EtherH' and Castle 100baseT 'EtherY' definitely came in podule form factor, but there must be dozens of others because all 26 of the single letter driver names are now allocated. |

OK I see. I don't have a ethernet podule. I was just curious. |
