'98 XTR RD-M951 instructions?

[Terence French]

I picked up one of these on ebay a while back and unfortunately the instructions are missing. It's
the 8-speed Rapid Rise model with the roller guide. Anyone happen to have an instruction guide oder
a URL? The Shimano site has nothing, not even an eploded view - the model's probably too old. Thanks
in advance, Terence

Great. That's the one, except that I have the long cage version. Now all I need are the
instructions... Terence

What instructions do you think would be different with the same body?

The URL that Jim very kindly provided leads to an exploded view of the derailer, but not the
instructions. Terence
