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.
