George,
Are you talking about the 802 (which someone said is a terminal) or are
you talking about the computer? (model number ???)
If you mean the computer then I listed it but I wasn't offering. It's
still at the store. I was hoping they might turn up the computer. If you
need a copy, I'll see about getting it and making you a copy. If I don't
find the computer sooner or later then you may end up with the original.
If you mean the terminal manual then it's also still at the store but I
don't want it so if you do then let me know and I'll see about getting it
for you.
Joe
