I have a Tecmar GM and like it very much.  I bought my first one
about two years ago, and was very pleased to find that it came with
a complete programming guide.  About one year ago, I bought two more,
for clients of mine.  I was surprised to see that absolutely no
programming data was included.  The only books provided were designed
to help someone using either Lotus 1-2-3 or PC-Paint.

I called Tecmar about this and was treated very rudely.  Apparently, some
"businessmen" have taken over, and they no longer hand out programming
data to everyone.  If you can persuade them you are valuable to their
goals, you can a get some internal documents.  Otherwise, tough sh*t.

My primary use for the card is as a high resolution graphics display
on the IBM mono screen.  It will show a 720H x 702V (no typo, it's
really 720H x 702V) image, with two bits per pixel, on the mono
display.  Buy it if you can get the books you need.
