Additional files

OP Flat Plan
Overall layout of pages for this issue of the magazine
OP Progress sheet
A list of articles, their authors and the number of pages they occupy
OP Ever the TWAIN
An unpublished review of David Pilling's version 2 TWAIN scanner drivers by Nobilangelo Ceramalus; there was insufficient space to accommodate this in the issue for which it was intended (11:10), and in the end it was never used
OP Talking from the Inside
This is an early version of Mark Moxon's review of Acorn's internal modem for the Risc PC; it was subsequently published in issue 12:1 in a significantly updated form (the unused 11:10 version of the review predates Clares' acquisition of the modems)
