Hmmmm... I have a copy and while interes5ting, it is hard to traanslate
and the info is definately biased towards German systems available. I
don't think scanning a couple hundred pages to a web site is the way to
go. You can find one of the list mambers (Steve Lashley) selling the
book if interested.
