Hi everyone,
I also reverse engineered the Vine Micros Replay unit to see how it worked.
I still have some of the information I gathered at the time if anyone is
interested.

  Vine Micros Replay Disc Utility User Guide
  REPLAY screen data sheet as of 10/9/1985
  REPLAY Installation nstructions fo BBC Model B Microcomputer OS 1.20

I still have some of the notes I made when I was trying to understand how it
worked. Also, I can take photos of it uninstalled. Just let me know if you
want any of the above.

I too would like information about the BBC Master version if anyone has any.

Regards,
Rod
