[sdiy] oxford OSCar: anyone familiar with these?

[Gavin & Delia]

Someone on list sent me a very nice e-package of OSCar stuff, which I very
much appreciated, if they're not on list I can probably dig it up and
forward it to you.  I believe it contained schematics but I'm not sure.  I'm
also in an OSCar myself, a version M2 one.  No oscillator 2, any ideas?
