The Do It Yourself Method
Note:
This connection method has been around for some time and the software
available for download may have been updated so check the web for newer
versions. Zetnet do not offer technical support for the method of connection
below and any queries should be addressed to the scripts authors.
You'll need a hard drive (with free space !) and at least RiscOS 3.1.
Simple, in *this* order:
Settype of "BasPlug" to BASIC.
Run "BasPlug"
Run "!SparkPlug"
Drag all the below files to !SparkPlug one at a time
and copy *everything* in them to an empty directory - don't worry about
overwriting duplicate files with the same name.
