First Network

My first Network was at British Shipbuilders teaching on BBC B computers with an Econet Network. Controlling screens and all controlled by a Second Processor Unit on the Master computer.

All the computers had word processor and spreadsheet chips which I had to burn onto EEPROMS using a EEPROM controller.

The BBC computers were linked to a couple of printers , a dot matrix and a daisy wheel printer.

We even had a modem to access Prestel and the early internet. In the days before the web and the browser, we used email and IRC to chat and FTP to access files.
