Has anyone managed to get any TECHNICAL information on the new Model 16
(with the MC68000 in addition to the Z80).  Radio Shack, both locally and
Fort Worth, is no real help.  The only new user info that comes with it
doesn't even seem to cover how to get back and forth between processors
except for a TRSDOS program which loads the MC68000.  

Fort Worth say they WILL have a technical manual (the one they finally
got out on the Model II was not too bad), but it may be a year away.
I got a service tech. at a local store to admit that it had come with
a couple of sheets of hand drawn info, mostly on how to replace a board
when and if they ever get spares.  Apparently the service people dont
even have a schematic.  I am beginning to believe that RS didn't do the
board themselves, and that it was farmed out.  I wonder to whom?
