Awesome, thank you so much!

Has anyone come across archival manuals for the B5N2 Kate? I've got second hand stuff like Maru Mechanic but I'd be interested in seeing the originals. I bet it's all at NIDS if it still exists, though.

NIDS recommends researchers to visit its library 'physically' if you are 'serious'.

I just wish I could remember the pdf I had found somewhere that listed all the manuals and such that NIDS had in their archives so that I could see if they even had anything on the Kate to begin with.

This is manual for B5N1. B5N2's is not available.

Thank you Shinpachi for this catalog. Hopefully the manual itself will end up scanned and presented in the same high quality.

So much good stuff there! Shame there is only the B5N1, I guess the B5N2 documents are destroyed. Still, would love to see it get scanned one day!
