   To slightly divert from the technicalities, I'd like to ask a bit about   
   the legal side of this.   
      
   For the introductory articles of the wikibooks, copying what is   
   originally in the user manual would be among the best of our sorces   
   since the instructions, definitions and explanations in there are   
   relatively easy to understand even for international users whose English   
   isn't exactly top-notch. However, what worries me a bit is if we'd be   
   allowed to literally copy-paste the material within. For instance, while   
   scanning through the funet.fi FTP, I downloaded three pages of the   
   original manual (I think that's it anyway) that deal with the IC pinouts   
   and frequency ranges of certain CBM audio chips. Just because it's on an   
   FTP, of course, doesn't neccessarily mean it's freeware. So, how can   
   this get resolved?
