Correct.  No winchester or SCSI diagrams.

Correct on both counts, unfortunately.

You'd mean the "BBC Master AIV User Guide", then I expect.  See, I told
you you should have looked along those shelves when you were last here
:-)   It's not that useful, though.  It's quite slim, and contains a
brief guide to setting the system up; a page and a bit about the
Domesday Project; a chapter about VFS, its star commands, and video
mixing, etc; and some programming info: OSBYTE/OSWORD/OSwhatnot calls
and error codes.
