I recently bought this System manaul 1987/88 – Beolink as I was interested to see what that that was about.
It is in german, but I can understand enough (with a little help from Google translate) to figure that it is kind of like the later Master Control Handbooks (and Masterlink Handbooks for that matter).
But that got me thinking, how many of these kind of systemmanuals / Handbooks was there? Was a new one coming each year or only if larger changes in the product programme and link technology made it nessecary (probably)?
To get a little wiser I have tried to make a list of the system manuals and Master Control Link Handbooks that I know exist in the next post , and then maybe others can chime in with info about other versions and I will update the list accordingly.
As with many manuals from B&O there is not a clear indication of publication year/month/date, so I have tried to make an indicative publication year for each manual based on the naming and/or information in it.
