Tinypilot on Pi Zero (non-wifi) to replace ST2000+ controller

[jmj88]

It is possible to do IP networking over USB (although I haven't tried it).  If your computer is running Windows, you can turn on Internet Connection Sharing, then the Windows computer will present an Ethernet-over-USB device to the RPi Zero.

Thanks - yes, that SSH procedure was the one I followed to successfully connect to the Pi0 using the standard Pi OS (modify cmdline.txt, config.txt add a blank ssh file, correct the drivers etc), however it doesn't appear to work with tinycore - Window's doesn't make a peep.  I've read it's possibly a missing USB-LAN extension as tinycore is pretty lightweight - this may be what I need, discussed here:

However this talks about copying a tcz file to '/mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/optional' - a folder I do not see on the SD card.  I will keep investigating
