content: Sadly none of the links in this thread including the waybac machine actually have workable links to the PDF's. It appears that the files although they showup in the list result in a minimal file (for example the 8017 files show up as 1KB.Sam

content: Thanks to all for the help in locating a manual for this instrument. I am still looking for an English version which perhaps may have never existed.In any event the German one can also be found on the Xdevs site.Some schematics are available for the items that are shared with the 5017 but schematics for the processor for the 8017 have never appeared.Best regards,SamW3OHM
