Usage
The scanned text layer of this manual is badly degraded — the clock-speed list alone renders "various system statistics" as "fpfrious s^ptem statistics" and "110 Mhz" as "-liO Mhz". Every figure taken from it records what was legible and what was reconstructed, and figures that could not be read with confidence are held provisional rather than published as fact.
