Good morning,

I got my hands on one of the infamous "The Shadow" 1541 drive boards
from Megasoft a while back. At that time, I snapped a few pictures of
it and made them available online. I was going through a box of
Commodore stuff last night and I discovered that I also have the user
manual and an interesting letter that was shipped to the original
purchaser in my possession. I scanned them and made them available on
the same page as the other Shadow information I had previously
published:

As time permits, I'm going to install this board and see what, if
anything, it does. I'll also eventually take less blurry pictures of
it.

Enjoy,

Dave

If your board actually works i'd love to hear about it. Mine I
received never worked after waiting more than 10months from the time I
sent in a MO for it when first advertised. Wow was it a lot of paper
route money back then. ~ just read your page ~ Reading your link
finally explained things. That letter I did not receive with mine
there was a disk and the board nothing else when it arrived.

Interesting! I never owned one of these boards and now I see that was
a good thing!
