That's how I remember Springboard.  They came with wire-bound 
pale-green-cover manuals for TWIN, Assembler, Utilities and something 
else, and white paperback manuals for ARM, MEMC, VIDC, and IOC.  The one 
without the IOC is probably (I'm guessing) older, and may have had a 
name other than Springboard.  I don't know for sure, though; the OEM 
group weren't very good at telling the rest of us what was going on!
