The two volumes on the MoHPC flash drive are dated Jan. 1984; the cover page of Volume II even states "Version 1.0 - Preliminary". The copies that I have are dated Mar. 1983 and are clearly labelled as final release. Volume I is 10 pages longer and Volume II is 44 pages longer than the versions on the flash drive.

My copy of IDS Vol II is dated Dec 1983 on the title page, but on the back of the rear cover it is dated Feb 1984. This copy is printed 4-up duplex so page count is hard to define. How did you ascertain total page count to compare them?

If this copy is later, I'm happy to loan it for scanning, but don't currently have a scanner hooked-up.

I'm not sure how, but I've ended up with 2 copies of IDS Vol-II, but no copies of Vol-I. I'm sure I had Vol-III at some point, but 2" thick, 4-up, duplex source code listings seemed somehow not compelling enough to keep. Go figure.

Mark - If you run across a 41 Translator ROM Manual, I 'd very much like to buy it. (this goes for anyone reading as well btw)
