I've been going a bit mad with my new book scanner. Here is the complete 230-odd page BT Merlin Tonto Handbook, as a searchable PDF file:

Did the 350-odd page Tonto BASIC manual:

And the Advanced Operations booklet:

Ask me about felt pads - I can cut them to size and they have proven excellent for mdv data recovery.

Thanks. Did the BASIC manual and Advanced Operations, added to original post above.
I won't bother doing the Xchange manual, because Xchange is well documented elsewhere. I also won't do the printer manual - too obscure, I can't imagine anyone is still using a Tonto/OPD with one of the specific printers.

That's a great service to us, Christian, thank you!
I have a somewhat poorly Tonto on loan to me to resurrect and the added accessibility of these manuals will nudge me closer to starting the work
