Im getting cryptic error messages from my Econet software. What do they mean?
The Acorn “standard” error messages aren’t always particularly self-explanatory. They are: – No clock. This means that your machine is not seeing the clock signal on the Econet line. Probably your machine is not plugged in, or the clock box is broken, or you have a faulty cable or machine somewhere. If only one machine gives this error and others are fine, either its drop cable or its Econet hardware is probably at fault. In an emergency, you can try swapping the 75159 chips between a BBC and a clock box. The 75159 is actually a dual driver, and the two machines use opposite sides of it, so this trick can sometimes get you going again if one driver has been toasted. – Not listening. This means that the destination machine completely ignored all the packets you sent to it. Most likely it is switched off, or disconnected from the network. You may also have a faulty cable or bad termination. The remote machine may be accessing its floppy disk or doing something else that locks out the net
