The Acorn FileStore E01S is a standalone, network-attached file and print server designed specifically for Acorn’s Econet system. The FileStore is a development from earlier servers operating on a BBC Microcomputer with a co-processor. It is a single-CPU design. Two versions of the FileStore exist: the original E01, and the later E01S. The FileStore E01S was Acorns second generation Filestore replacing the FileStore E01. The FileStore is a dedicated Econet fileserver, it does not support a keyboard and monitor, instead you use an Econet attached station to logon and perform administrative tasks. The primary difference between the two models is that the E01S contains a SCSI controller on-board and can therefore have up to four hard discs (40Mb or 60Mb capacity, a potential total of 240Mb) connected in a daisy-chain fashion. With the earlier E01, the SCSI interface resided in the expansion module so it was generally limited to one hard disc (which was usually 20Mb).
