I have what I think is the complete documentation set for the Ferguson
BigBoard.  I don't know if it's the Bigboard II.  My board has
'Ferguson' etched right into the board.   It's all in paper, schematics
and the manual, and if nobody else has it, I could generate a copy
and/or scan it in.

Does anybody else already have this material in electronic form?
