== What these documents do not contain ==

None of them has a circuit diagram, a parts list, a board layout or any service procedure. Acorn's guide and NetProducts' guide both say there are no user-serviceable parts inside. The power supply is described only by its adapter rating, and the figures differ between documents (see [[Acorn NetStation]]).

== Pages that cite these documents ==

* [[Acorn Network Computer]]: model range and specifications, self-test, faults.
* [[Acorn NetStation]]: hardware, ports, power, troubleshooting.

== Embedded copies ==
