Re: IML: re: 83 EFI

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

You guys noticed that we got some really fine
reference material posted to the site recently?

There has been more info on EFI posted to the site in
the last 6 months than in the last 10 years...

I suspect that some research may be in order if you're
intent on licking this - the "Gold Book" seems
particularly promising with notes from the original
engineering team from the time.
