Em, well, it seems to be more accurate to say I *used to have* the books
and discs. I've just looked, and although I can find copies I made of
the discs ("System:1" and "System:2") I no longer seem to have the
originals. And right now I don't have any easy way to image them, or
even read them.
I can remember the two books though: they were simply paperback reprints
of the usual books (published by TD Systems, or some such name). I'm
pretty sure one was The UCSD Pascal Handbook by Clark & Koehler, the
other was - I think - something like An Introduction to the p-System.
BTW, it's "p-System", never "P-System". Anyway, one was a pink and
white cover, the other was light blue and white. I have several similar
books, so I probably gave away the Acornsoft ones some years ago.
What I did find, though, was the ISO-Pascal System for the Master 128.
It's a ROM cartridge, manual, disk, and function key strip. I also have
the Stand-Alone Generator to go with it. I've never used either.
