Posted: Wed Jan 27, 2010 12:15 pm
With the volume of various threads and posts related to technical info on the Mark 5 / V machines, I saw it fitting to start a thread that can compile 5 / V related information in one place. It will either contain the info directly or link out to appropriate areas. Informational commentary and dialog is welcome. To keep the thread on topic may be difficult. We'll see how this works.
