From someone who has done a bit of hardware work...  Although being without
this manual is nothing less than a pain in the neck, there is one
other manual that is required to do any kind of serious hardware hacking
on the UNIX-pc and that's the s4bus specification.  Without this document
you will find yourself doing a lot of needless reverse-engineering.

Perhaps Lenny could make it an option for, say, $5 more, to include
this with his copy of the manual.
