Anyone have a manual for Programmer's Aid cartridge?
Hi, does anyone have a scan or OCR'd version of the manual for the Programmer's Aid Cart? It seems like it would be so helpful but I don't know what it can do or how to use it. Thanks!

Oops!
I don't remember where I found it, but I have the Programmers' Aid Cart manual in .TXT format. Send me an email and I'll fire you off a copy.

Yeah, based on vic_user's scans, I OCR:ed and roughly proofread it a while ago:

I still wonder if there wasn't a second revision of this manual, considering the number of typos and mistakes in the instructions. Also, the layout of this manual doesn't match the Swedish translation very well, so either Datatronic (or Handic or whoever ran the documentation subsidiary) wrote their own documentation from scratch or it was translated from a English (?) version I haven't seen.

Here's a scan of the manual I have. Goto the Mags & Manual Scans Tab:

Hm, Rob's scan looks like an English version of the Swedish document I wrote about, very different from the other English version I OCR:ed. I'm not so sure this more recent scan is easily OCR-able:
Hm, after applying Sharpen More, Resize to 300 dpi and Threshold at ~180 in Photoshop, the OCR quality improved a bit:The irfofmoiion in 'his fidrua' bU9 rdvivwndand FS beljeved Ig be entirely No responsibnlily, however, is assumed for inaccuracies, the material irflfn^nia^uf)' i^f irrformntnin purposes onry, ond It tubiscl la wilhoul
The informoiion in this mcnua! has been reviewed and is believed to be entirely reliable. No responsibility, however, is assumed for inaccuracies. The material in this manual is for information purposes only, and is subject lo change without notice.

Hey, now we have quite a Canadian contingent here on DENIAL: Eslapion, 6402dude, VIC20user, Ral-Clan (me), Schema....and I know there are some others. Would be great if we =could all meet one day (I think all of the above are in the Montreal-Toronto corridor). I guess this attests to how popular Commodore machines were in Canada - I think C= Canada Inc. was one of the only profitable branches of the firm at the very end in 1993. I remember that all of the schools in Ontario had PET and then C64 labs in the early 80s, whereas it seems that in the States it was Apple that had this market tied up.eslapion wrote:I am presently busy tiping back in MS word the EXACT content of my manual of Programmer's Aid cartridge.
Actually, its more like page layout because I want to make a PDF with it that will contain both text and images and look like it was done yesterday.
