Finishing off an update to my BeebMaster Econet clockbox. The new lid makes it look a lot more professional. Mine is a gen-1 with the PCB mounted in the lid, so I've had to make a 3D-printed PCB holder for it. Easy!

Hi. I am one of the firmware engineers for FujiNet (and arguably one of the project spokespeople)

I think I need to point to the Github repository for our firmware:
github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet

If you look in lib/bus, lib/device and lib/media, you'll see that we have a very abstracted set of concerns that can be ported to a wide variety of platforms.

So this basically means that we'd need to think of a bus method. I can think of three:

(1) simulate an Econet device using the ESP32 UART
(2) use a method similar to the various SD card adapters over SPI
(3) use the generic bus interface being developed for the ZX Spectrum and other 8-bit parallel busses

I can help get the bring-up started for anyone who wants to hack on this.

We have a Discord, where e.g. bring-up discussions are done, and have made an #acorn-and-beebs channel specifically for a BBC bring-up. discord.gg/2Ce9guX
