So, a while back, I got some boards from Sety as mentioned here: https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... it=pcb+set
Since the NetUSBee is the smallest board with the least parts (Compared to the TF520 and TF530 I also got), I've decided to have a crack at building it soon.
First off is to get the parts, and I've managed to get the main chip so far, the RTL8019AS, and I should have a lot of the discrete parts in my workshop.
Next up, if anybody has built one of these and has any advice, I'd be grateful to hear it!!

Re: NetUSBee Build
Hi RJ,
Got a working one myself, so no help there I'm afraid.
I was just going to say that the 520 and 530 parent really compatible with an Atari, so I wouldn't worry about those unless you have an Amiga you want to boost as well.

If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Re: NetUSBee Build
I do have an Amiga, but it's a 1200 with a trapdoor 030 accelerator & FPU, so TF board not really necessary.
Maybe I need to get more Amigas so I can build them
