WARNING: This manual is easy to read and actually entertaining. This may ruin your enjoyment of other computer manuals.
We can accept no responsibility nor liability for clarity of this manual, or if you decide that you strongly dislike other manuals after reading this one.

FURTHERMORE, SOME OF THE DIAGRAMS WERE DRAWN BY SOMEONE WITH THE ARTISTIC ABILITY OF GENGHIS KHAN.
Reading this manual is probably not necessary, as the GCR is so straight-
forward to hook up and use. However, you should read this manual, even if
you've owned a Spectre (or Magic Sac) before, because of all the new things
we've added to the software, like version 2.0 (and 128K Rom support). Besides,
you 1l kick yourself if you break your new GCR because you didn't read the
manual first.

All products marked with "TM" (and those that we missed) are trademarks of their respective companies; the names are not intended to be used generically.

Thank you for reading this notice. Oh, yeah, read the license agreement in back. It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it.
