I'm taking some pictures of the board. It will take a little while, because
I don't want to use the flash (one of the EPROM stickers doesn't quite cover
the window, and I'd hate to zap it). Which means using the tripod... I will
post a link later on.

Using the standard A,B$,C,D result (this is Basic v2.0 IIRC, it certainly
doesn't come with the handy DS$ command), B$ reports:

	MATOR/CBM WINCHESTER DOS V1/FW

So, from a "commands supported" point of view, not very helpful!

Somewhere, I have the manual. Before the auction finishes, if I find it, I
will scan the manual to PDF & make it available to this list.


Cheers,
Ade.
