Sounds familiar. I got mine a couple of years ago. I'm determined to find the 
time to actually *do* something with it within the next decade...

Heh! Sounds like JGH might get there first on this one, which saves me the

The second part's a scan, *somewhere* :-)

Yep, got a manual too. I remember a schematic somewhere - don't recall if that 
was printed in the manual or I have it separate. Witchy has one of the boards, 
I believe, so a copy of whatever ROM it had can probably be rustled up...
