I'll get those done this week then. Errm.. Scan to .png? Anyone want to
OCR/PDF it or something? (basically cos I'm too dumbass and out of touch
with new-fangled things.) I'll probably re-write the FDFS specific stuff
from the letter, to clarify the use of button, disc removal etc. (its
only two "modes", simpler than it can seem.)

Well the manual is not an FDFS manual per se. Its a manual for users of
networks based on SJ Research technology. Doesn't mention the FDFS by
name as much as once.

Strangely enough i'm about to settle down to read that and compare notes.

None. it just don't work. :-(
i.e. If I Shift-N-Break, The model B just hangs trying to boot from the
network. Which is a familiar scenario actually. I'm fairly sure its the
NFS version.

ISTR you telling me that when i had a similar problem years ago. And I
switched to a Master 128 for a while, while my B #1 was "In the wash".

I'll have a trawl around the usual websites today, (unless some kind bod
mails me one) see if I can find an image to burn this evening. Also
planning on re-installing the Integra board, which is fairly
hair-raising to do as the manual I got with it (as I recall from when I
first had it way back when.) has several potentially PAL-fritzing errors
in the "remove *this* jumper, connect *this* coloured wire *here*"
department.
Hmm.. Trying to remember if I ever got the Model B working with the
NFS.. I know the Masters worked with it, but their keyboards drive me
round the twist.
Cheers!
