Excellent. If you ever do manage to read it out, I would be interested in 
a copy...

Certainly no hurry this end. I have (literally) hundreds of projects to 
be going on with...

I can supply a reverse-engineered schematic of the MW4 if you want it. 
Alas  I don't ahve  scanner, so I would have to send you it on paper..

I have the 1820 instruction set description, etc, if you need that. 
Writing a simple disassembler (i.e. one that doesn't try to make any 
sense of the code it's disassembling) is a fairly easy task, even I can 
manage it, and I'm no programmer.
