Well, I don't want to part with the manual, just offering copies of the
hex dump, assuming that usable software for the 1802 was in short
supply.

The BASIC section is pretty short. The rest of the book is hardware
specs for the cards, and is too much to copy.

If you want the BASIC section copied I can do that... gimme your mailing
address and I'll which whiz it off to you.
