I've still got mine, thanks! It's a pity some dealers were not inclined to
be more forthcoming, because Acorn did make a lot of documentation
available, and would often provide it to users who wrote in; but dealers
were always able to get it for customers, and even had a system (SID) to
obtain lots of information, upgrade software, etc, via dial-up. They also
had a large 2-volume set of 2" ring binders with diagrams, info, etc
(that's where those System diagrams I gave you came from).
