I have a Xerox(tm) of the original docs (A Mod 12 I set up for a company years
ago needed a buffer, and I had access to the Xerox(tm) machine, so...)

If you want me to mail them to you (about 60 pages I think), let me know.  If
you just want a few specs, send specific questions.  As for the power supply,
I don't remember, but I'll look it up tonight when I get home.  All I remember
about it is that you've got a Z-80 with about 64K RAM, and I think you can
download programs to it using some silly protocol.  That way you can run an
Intellegent print buffer (ie, you send it the formatting program, followed
by the data for several printouts, and it does the formatting and printing)
