Can give the layout files in Eagle 3.55 format or as PDF. And the ROM image too. Anything you need to build your own mageco.

I am working on translating manual into American English (Texun). Maybe someone could edit afterword for mistakes or U.K computer terms.
Example:
French: Catalogue
U.S: Directory
Options: Index, Catalog, Listing,....

Err, in “Hopelessly Divided Land” (formally known as the United Kingdom) we use BOTH Catalogue and Directory depending on the computer system. In Acorn computing (Atom, BBC B Micro, Master 128 etc) the word catalogue is used for example. The filing system command actually being:

CAT in Linux means "conCATenate".
https://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/CAT shows other terms for the acronym "CAT".

Re: "Mageco" disk controler. [infos, Docs wanted]
Great!
Is it the difference that DIR is more common with file systems that can handle subdirectories as well and CAT does not?

Re: "Mageco" disk controler. [infos, Docs wanted]
No. Dir on CP/M 2.x and before don't support subdirectories.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.
