There is a manual up for sale on eBay and I wondered if anyone had already scanned it?

If not I will buy it and scan it.

System 5 (1985) has DOS version 2 that is faster (using skewed sectors) and allows larger disc formats (up to 786k formatted).
In June 1987 System 5 was apparently upgraded to DOS version 2.05. Has anyone come across this upgraded version of the DOS?
The COPY.COM supplied with the original System 5 was different from earlier versions and should be version 1.4. Has anyone come across this later version of COPY.COM?
