Okay, other than the Howard Massey book I think I've got just about everything there is on the market. I wish I could find the Massey it'd save massive time with the hovercam. But it all sounds good, and I'm going to have a lot of reading to do.

Subject: [YamahaDX] Re: DX7IIFD Manuals and Documentation.
The list you gave, of leaflets you have, started at 5, and didn't include 11, Nyyki. The links I gave, from Rawl's updated post, contain 1, 3 and 11.
The service manual is in this group too, but there are quite a few related files. Those are here:
Here are the filenames, and sizes, from that page:

If the groups pages don't work for you, all I can think of is uploading them somewhere else, e.g. the??forum, if no one objects, or maybe temporarily to dropbox.
There is an archive of Aftertouch magazines, in that forum, which is here:
Here's the list of topics, from that page:

AfterTouch Complete

(Saul is the site owner/admin).
The "Complete" version is one giant PDF file, downloaded as a 230MB zip file, which could easily cause problems, though I've been able to look in it easily enough with Foxitreader (a PDF reader).
The other pages might be more useful, but each contains a long list of links to smaller PDFs.
Are you able to navigate and read those pages, or should I try to paste content here?
Just as an experiment, here's one link, to the first issue there (I think). Let me know if this works for you, and also if you're able to get to the rest of it, by browsing:
If I turn CSS off in my browser (with View->Page Style->No Style, in Waterfox), I see menus near the top, then the content, so it looks like it ought to work fairly well in a screen reader (from the little I've been told about them); you'd just have to wade through all those menus, on each page, before you got to the good parts. There are a couple of pictures, but nothing important - e.g, on this first page, I see the site logo, an advert, a picture of Saul, then a magazine cover. The main parts are all in text.
