First try failed:
   http://www.bbcdocs.com/filebase/hardware/circuit/BBC_Master_Schematics

Missing ".pdf"?

Also:
   Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to
   use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


Second try:
 
http://www.bbcdocs.com/filebase/econet/Econet%20Advanced%20User%20Guide.pdf

Worked okay.
Ooooh, typeset, not a scan. Sweet!


Third try:
   http://www.bbcdocs.com/filebase/hardware/datasheets/WD177x.pdf

Retrieved okay, but the PDF appears damaged - I see the lower left 
corner of the document zoomed up to fill the page.


Well, PDFs appear to be working for me, now.


Two suggestions, however...

1. Make clicking the logo go to the home page. It's a convention. I only 
looked for the "Home" link when clicking the logo didn't work.

2. Your latest news item says:
--8<--------
Tim Harrison has scanned in the Master 128 Schematic and Hugh Vance has 
been busy donating the Slogger Electron RX and Master Peartree RAM/ROM 
cartridge instructions. Shaun Buckley has also made a contribution with 
a revised edition of the Solidisk EPROM programmer that contains some of 
the revised commands.
--8<--------

This would be more user friendly if the things mentioned linked to them, 
i.e.:
--8<--------

(where the bits in [square brackets] are links)



Oh, and if you want a scan of the Econet Design and Installation Guide...

Best wishes,
