I bought this item on a flea-market in Eelde. It came with the manual. I also got a bunch of BBC games and books form Cor from Haren, Holland together with his defective BBC B. I installed the extention-cards with Pascal, Word, 32K Ram, OS 1.44 ect, in mine, now it is almost a BBC b+, Cor also gave me the twin joysticks from LVL, great ! Thanks Cor !
