I will have a good look at it this evening, scan the

eBay for, say $25 ...!
Dump the EPROMs before you sell it. Having a complete
print set does little good if you don't also know what's
in the ROMs! :-/
Let me know if you *don't* scan the manuals -- as I have
a complete set (no doubt hiding wherever the *other*
parts of this box are hiding!). I also have commented
sources for the ROM set (at least the ROMs in *my*
box... no idea how often the firmware was upgraded in
these -- hence the suggestion to dump the ROMs before
disposing of the box).
