I just made some minor updates to REV9 that I meant to include last night:

- corrected image related to ROM updates
- minor annotated notes in the A.1 and A.3 appendix examples
- added the addresses of the register pass-thru for KERNAL calls to the reference section at end (very useful for interacting with KERNAL SYS calls from BASIC, which there will be examples on the SD-card of how to make use of these; the A.5 appendix example touches on it)

We can nudge Kevin about it, as he'll (likely) be handling the packaging of the units. The printing cost (when scaled in bulk) I think could be "sponsored" without adding to the H/W unit cost (may have to use regular paper rather than glossy).
Would it be at all possible for you to tackle the programmer's manual and the vera manual? Those documents aren't nearly so well written, and they're definitely not designed for print.

I'd love to do a quick "programmer's manual." I've had to dust off my own recollection of using BASIC, but I think I'm finally caught up enough to be pretty confident about it. I may end up doing a YT orientation video rather than a manual.

There are a couple other folks also working on a BASIC Programming Manual. One of them included a series of specific BASIC examples and talking through those.
