SM-Kit searched...

To do a restart after almost 25 years, I would like to again use the same tools. Too bad my own disks have somehow escaped me.

Since I got extremely used to it, I would like to find again the machine language part of SM-Kit (sometimes referred to as SM-Kit/a or SM-Kit/m) by SM Software Inc (like mentioned in http://www.npsnet.com/danf/cbm/languages.html) in the C64 version (I have no use for the BASIC version SM-Kit/b, or for the Pet-2000 series version or the CBM 30xx/40xx version that I also used).

Is there a chance to get hold of a copy? All my searches yielded nothing, but I just may not know where to search yet.

Yes, I can see it has been sold here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/C64-SM-Kit-64-Golden-Tools-by-SM-Software..

...but apparently I noticed it too late and do not find a way to contact the buyer.
I do not care whether it is the disk or the ROM (image) version (both existed to my knowledge).

Thankful for any good hint (I am not in the position to spend much for it though. I do not necessarily need a manual with it as I used it long enough...).

No, I'm not looking for the type of SM-Kits that you can buy in adult stores. Those would be difficult to squeeze into a .D64 anyway.

Edit: Even going through large parts of the "treasure chests" being posted in other threads does not lead to anything. It cannot be that this little gem is completely eradicated, can it?

OK, obviously I found it, was hard work and needed much patience though, as I had to sort out a lot of similar-named stuff and versions for other commodore machines.

In http://c64disks.hvilket.net/NicsC64Disks.zip !/DISK7/DISK106B.D64, there seems to be a renamed C64 version of it.
It is not exactly the version I was used to, and it includes basic, assembler and floppy kit it if I understand it correctly.

So, the search now can be narrowed to a manual for SM-Kit/m. A manual for the BASIC part is already searchable on the web, in some other forum. The floppy part is of no use to me. If noone has a manual for the assembly part, I will find out the codes myself (I used to know them ny heart 23-28 years ago, but haven't used them since...)

When I am used to it again (should go fast as it is quite useable), I may re-write my old extensions for it, then I am ready for a restart. Maybe I will rewrite a manual, should no existing one pop up and interest arise.
