Hi,
Another one for the sake of the archives more than anything - a few more
non-Torch docs that turned up amongst my haul of Torch stuff, some of which are
likely quite (very?) rare...
Acorn Stuff
---------------
Acorn Econet system user guide
Acorn Atom user manual
Acorn Basic manual (4K integer Basic; manual is dated 28/7/1980)
Acorn Technical Manual - dated 1979, for a 6502-based SBC. Display is quoted in
the manual as being 9 digits with the leftmost one unused, which may identify
the machine. Possibly a System 1-4 ??
Acorn 6809 users manual - dated 1980, this looks to be for a SBC a little more
'modern' than the one above. There are fragments of schematics in the manual,
plus an overview of the board layout, construction guide, monitor ROM listing
etc. but no complete schematic.
A binder which looks to have been Acorn internal. Has the following A4
sections:
Acorn DOS manual
Acorn 6502 ADE
Econet v1 technical manual
Econet v1 user manual
Econet v2 user manual
Econet harddrive mods (schematics and notes)
Econet specification document (marked as provisional)
Atom Disc Pack construction notes, schematics etc. (anyone got a dump of the
ROM to go with this?)
Atom "Disatom Super ROM" specifications doc - whatever one of those is!
Atom Toolkit and Monitor ROM manual, by a P. T. Blenkinsop (written beneath
it says "with apologies to M Bates and Steve Wozniak" :)
Acorn System 5 Handbook
Acorn documentation - more official-looking stuff:
BBC OS v1 spec,
BBC disc interface details,
Document called "A redefinable telesoftware format" - was that what went on
to become prestel in the UK?
Internal document announcing a BASIC interpreter being ready for the systems
3/4/5/6/8. I wonder what the systems 6 and 8 were? Far as I know only 1-5
existed in the wild, followed by the Atom and the BBC - with the Proton
evolving into what became the BBC. Maybe 6 was the Atom - but the document goes
on to specifically mention the BBC as a seperate case, so that wasn't a System
8... and where did 7 go? Curious! :)
BBC micro speech system user guide.
Internal doc detailing Acorn DOS entry points for the system 3, 4 and Atom.
"Operating Instructions for the Progressive Establishment Testing System for
the BBC Microcomputer". Blimey. Documentation for a hardware unit that hooked
up to the BBC machines in order to perform hardware tests on them for engineers
by the looks of it. Wonder if any of the hardware still exists? :-)
"Operating Instructions for the Final Inspection and Test System for the BBC
Microcomputer". Blimey again. Did these ever even see the light of day? Seems
to have been another hardware unit for use by field engineers but I've never
heard of it before.
BBC 1MHz bus spec document.
AIM 65 Stuff
------------
AIM 65 Schematic
Forth user's manual
PL/65 user's manaul
Monitor program listing
Basic language reference manual
Instant pascal user's manaul
