Hog 600 Help

I know this is a forum for the Hog 3... but...
We're a high school with 3 moving lights (3 Mac 500's) and 6 scollers and we've just befome the new owners of a used Hog 600! It's still in the crate... and now I'm getting nervous. I've got to teach this board to my students in the fall (We've been using an ETC board which has now moved over for use with the conventionals) and I'd like to have a student-type manual ready for them and know a little more than they do before they train. So...
Anyone got a manual for one of these? or a Training program for one? Or any help that'll get us up and running. Anything that you could do would be much appreciated.
Thanks again and looking forward to your responses...

    because of the different screen set up on the 600 console, get very used to selecting fixture type and fixture number with the x/y syntax where 'x' is the fixture type number (starting at 1 and going through however many fixture types you have patched) and 'y' is the fixture number within that type.

    Don't try to install the HogII OS.

    Don't lose the "library disk".. Keep lots of copies handy

    Save often and rotate through 3 disks for your saves.

    There is a connector issue with these consoles.. Square pegs with round holes.. I think it is the power connection to the face panel. It will frequently come loose in shipping. many people have chosen to just solder it on for reliability sake. Check the articles at the jands sight or check with Mario.

    I'll try to put on my Way-Back hat and come up with any other helpful info.

    Hope this helps
