I would like to get one of the metal ones sometime just to complete the
collection a little. I've never even seen one to be honest, just the
plastic variety.
That's not surprising, as the metal ones were a stop-gap measure. I have
a metal one (but only one, sorry). Our two at school were metal, but RML
were just a few miles away!
That latter document might be useful and is on
Paul's site -
http://vt100.net/rm/docs/pn10971.pdf
However, a) it's a web document, b) it's in PDF format and c) it's 30MB
so I'm not sure what your chances are of being able to get it and read
it! It's 190 pages or I'd print it out and post a copy if it looked like
it contained relevant stuff.
It doesn't contain the source listing, but it is a thumping good read,
with details of EMT instructions, RML's CALR "instruction" for writing
PIC on the Z80, and the front panel details.
I just downloaded it but PDF rendering is slow as hell
on this computer
so I'll look at it on a different machine tomorrow.
You have Acrobat Reader for Linux, haven't you? I struggled along with
xpdf for a bit, but it crawls along when dealing with scans.
