Top of my list for this would be the user manual for
the Sharp MZ700. It
starts off with a simple introduction to computers, and follows it with
the standard 'introduction to BASIC' with little cartoons, etc. Then
comes how to hook up your MZ700.
And then, totally unexpectedly, we get the full
schematics of the MZ700
(including PSU, tape drive, printer, PSU, etc), the machine code monitor
commands, and a list/description of the Z80 opcodes. In the appendix
there's a commented source listing of the bootstrap/monitor ROM.
Sounds like the average East German Manual.
I am still trying to figure out who that manual is
aimed at...
Made by tech guys for tech guys ?
