No ACE page image scans?It shows how much w've achieved over the years when such an omission is glaring :) So, who's up for scanning ACE, then?

I scanned Ace, but did not give it to the archive as I was sure it would not be wanted as it mainly covered the 16 bits, sorry if you wanted it.
Cheers Mort -
