The Microcomputer Kit shipped with various items of documentation (in addition to an invoice and Compliments slip):
  • A User’s manual (here are the Contents page and the first page). This comprises a comprehensive description of programming the machine, including an instruction set reference, example programs, and a manual listing of the firmware (the monitor). All text in this manual is in uppercase.

  • A Technical manual (here’s the Contents page/Front cover). This includes parts lists and other hardware details, including construction hints and tips.

  • A Price List, dated March 1979. Note that in this list the prices are in British Pounds (then worth about $2.12 US) and do not include Value Added Tax (VAT, then 8%).

  • Schematics for both boards.

Here’s the Cover of the User’s manual:
