How is this worse than Sharp (who won't supply me with _any_ docs or
service parts for their printers/photocopiers) or Canon (who won't supply
me with a board-swapper's manual without going on a course (which costs a
lot more that $300 BTW)).
Or, indeed, a modern PC clone where docs are simply unavailable. Try
getting the schematics of any part of PC sometime...
And I can assure you that figuring out the Sanyo is a lot easier than any
of the above...
But you at least got installation and owner instructions with Sharp,
Perq, Canon. You didn't even get that with the 550. The DOS manual was
FULL of errors and omissions. For example, the entry on the DIR command
didn't even mention the switchs (/A, /W, etc).
BTW does anyone have any instructions or info on the Canon SX-320
computer/calculator?

I also nominate the Sanyo 550 computers has
having THE worst
documentation of any computer ever sold in the US!
I have to agree, at that time Sanyo's hardware documentation policy
sucked. In order to get the HW info, you had to attend a Sanyo
service class (I seem to recall the class fee to be around $300).
