minolta multi-function back for x-700

so... i got this multi-function back, and everything i can find online about it

seems that it should totally rock out... only thing i can't find is an actual

manual for it. the konica/minolta/sony (did i leave anyone out?) website's have

nothing on it. i actually did find one manual online, but it's in german, and,

sadly, i don't speak german.

in short... does anybody out here have a manual they can scan and email, fax,

photocopy and mail, or let me come over for dinner and read?

thanks in advance!

Hi and welcome, Bryant,

Yes, but I've got to dig. Anyone else beat me to it? See:
