Be glad you got manuals with them, most things you buy these days, you're lucky if you get a folded sheet of instructions and a disc with a PDF!
I still remember the manual for AmigaVision, in it's beautiful 3-ring binder that you could lay flat to read. As I recall the A3000 came with a nice manual, as well. Ah, the good old days!
Yup I agree. My latest pc motherboard came with a 5 page quickstart and then the manual was on a PDF on the driver disk. So unless you had another computer, which thankfully I did, you were stuffed if any problems popped up.
I do miss manuals that had useful information, detailed tips with pictures and proper technical specs.
