	I have the documentation for this drive. For an SASE and $1.00 I will 
send a Xerox of the docs (2 pages). If I loafed in a large corporation 
there would be no charge for the Xeroxing.

	By the way, I have found Micropolis most helpful in the past.

	Why oh Why do these corporations inist on missing or lousy docs. 
Don't they understand it hurts their bottom line? What would the pres 
of Micropolis do if he bought a TV that had no docs on how to change 
channels and no clear markings on the cabinet as to how to do it?

	Wangtek supply no docs either, but are happy as clams to FAX you 4 
pages from their service manual. Wouldn't it be cheaper to have PIP 
print 4 pages and wrap the damn tape drive in them?

	Anyhow for those who want the Micropolis docs, send SASE etc to:

Julian Macassey
Micropolis docs
742 1/2 North Hayworth Avenue
Hollywood
California 90046-7142

Those in a tearing hurry could try phoning me to read the docs, but I 
may be out.
