Easy as that? Blimey. Whenever I scan anything it takes a few minutes per 
page, and I get bored rather quickly :-) (I do sort-of have access to a 
scanner with an ADF, but there's no way I'd go chopping the spine off 
something like a Panos manual...)

Hmmm, I would have thought the manual for the assembler had that sort of thing 
in, but I just looked and it's a bit on the useless side :)

I don't think we have anything at the museum other than the Natsemi databooks, 
which you've already got. If I remember I'll have a look at the Whitechapel 
manuals though, as those machines were 32016-based and might have some useful 
details in (but being UNIX machines they probably didn't expect you to go 
futzing around at the binary level :-)
