Subject: A500 owners?

Hi,

I have 2 A500s which were in working order about 12-18 months ago. See
http://acorn.chriswhy.co.uk/Computers/A500.html for details.

They are sitting in a rack about 15 feet from mw so I can easily try and
power them up.

Exactly what do you want and how to I get it (i.e. what command do I need to
use to get the NVRAM data)? I have also just completed scanning and OCRing
the internal Acorn A500 Hardware Guide which is now available on Chris's
Acorns.
