I love that the CPC was probably the best documented home computer, but reading references manuals in PDF form is tedious so I've converted the Firmware Manual (Soft968) into a hyperlinked website.
The project is based off the pre-existing PDF edition (With all credit to the original scanner).
The end result is on github in markdown format which should make it easier to convert to wiki or HTML if anyone wants to do the work.
I hope someone finds it useful :)

@bread80@mstdn.social I remember getting the firmware manuals in the 1980s and being so impressed. It spoiled me for technical documentation. When I later got Apple’s “Inside Macintosh” I was so disappointed as I was expecting something as easy to follow.

@bread80@mstdn.social I'll gladly link it in a footnote of my re-typeset CPC6128 manual :)
