To be able to use an Econet network, BBC computers must be fitted with an Econet interface. The main component is the Motorola 68B54 Advanced Data Link Controller which governs all the transmission of data on the network as well as detecting the clock signal.

For the BBC Models A, B and B+, the Econet interface is a hardware upgrade to the main circuit board. In the Master Series and many of the later Acorn 32-bit computers, it comes as a ready-made plug-in module.

I believe the above list to be a comprehensive guide to all the Econet interfaces ever issued. If you know otherwise, tell me!
