PASSAP E-6000 AND PASSAP DM-80 MACHINE EQUIVALENT CHARTS
In three issues of DUET International Magazine, beginning with Issue No. 11, June 1992, Hélène Napaul and Martha Burkhard compiled machine equivalent charts for the E-6000 and DM-80. They are available in two different formats: Scanned copies of the actual sheets from the magazine or in a compiled table.
Some sheets scanned better than others. As a result, the description for each sheet is printed below the sheet.
