Hi,
After a little push from @cpcitor (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=531) I have uploaded some more parts of SOFT158 and SOFT968.
These were scanned and OCRed from the originals many years ago, I have finished typesetting them today.
Section 1: The firmware:

http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s968se01.pdf (http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s968se01.pdf)
Section 13 (158) /14 (968) Firmware Jumpblock:
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s158se13.pdf (http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s158se13.pdf)
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s968se14.pdf (http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s968se14.pdf)
More to come as I finish typesetting them.
I am on a roll today.
Section 2: ROMs, RAM and the Restart Instructions
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s158se02.pdf
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s968se02.pdf
For soft 968 this means it completes sections from 1-14.
Final for today:
Appendix 8 - Notes and Tone Periods.

http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s968ap08.pdf (http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s968ap08.pdf)
Making the stave at the end was hard work with LibreOffice, it didn't help me with the text boxes. This was the blocker before, but finally I made it.
This one I don't have OCRed so I may have to type this by hand:
Section 14 The Main Firmware Jumpblock
The following are OCRed but will take a bit more time because they involve graphics and I don't have them ready yet.
Appendix I - Key Numbering
Appendix II - Key Translation Tables.
Appendix III - Repeating Keys
Appendix VI - Displayed Character Set
Great work. I have a decent OCR package which also does OCR on graphics if you would like me to run them through it?
Thanks for all the hard work!
SOFT968: Section 15 - The Main Firmware Jumpblock
http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s968se15.pdf (http://www.cpctech.org.uk/docs/manual/s968se15.pdf)
I have also uploaded this document to the wiki. I have updated the wiki page with all the missing sections/appendices (not linked until I finish and upload them).
All sections 1-20 are complete and uploaded.
Thanks man :)
Soft 968: Appendix 12 (XII) The Hardware and Hardware Variants
(missing the keyboard diagram at the end for the French version of the ROMs. I may try making that with tables. Remainder is complete)

Thanks a zillion times!
Minor correction on calls 69-72: WIDTH-related calls only deal with X coordinates (not X and Y). HEIGHT-related calls only deal with Y coordinates (not X and Y).
Were these errors in original paper document?

No they were not - it was my mistake.
I have uploaded a fixed version.
I have also uploaded appendix 1, appendix 2, appendix 3 and appendix 12. 1,2 and 12 need some extra diagrams but are mostly complete.

There is a typo on first page : "Maching Pack" and should be "Machine Pack".

fixed.
Hi,
I've just found another issue - the name of the TXT OUT ACTION indirection at #BDD9 in s968se16.pdf is incorrect - it looks like the previous entry has been copied instead.
