Wow, that was fast! I've downloaded copies of the images in case you 
needed to clear them out of that temp area. I might see if I can 
motivate myself to type the article up as a text file...

Interesting that it mentions "other so-called 68000 second processors on 
the market" in the context of 68008-driven boards. Far as I know, Cumana 
were the only ones using a 68008, and Torch were the only other people 
doing a true 68000 copro for a beeb. I suppose they couldn't really name 
names in the article...

Nice to see that production-quality Casper boards obviously existed, so 
maybe a handful of them do still survive out there somewhere!

Many thanks for putting those scans online :)

cheers
