The Technical Manual - First Edition exists online <https://www.web8201.net/Files/LIBRARY_web8201/NEC8201A-TechRef.pdf> and I believe it is what John needs. but the scan is spotty in places and the low resolution is particularly noticeable on diagrams, such as page 238.
The Service Manual also exists <https://web8201.net/default.asp?content=/Files/LIBRARY_web8201/NEC8201A-SvcManual.pdf>. I haven't studied it thoroughly. It does have fold-out diagrams, not at the resolution I would have preferred, but I think it is probably legible enough. Now, if we could just find someone with the Technical Notes. There was a person named Curtis McCain who had a copy over a decade ago and I had mistakenly thought you (Kurt McCullum) might be the same person.
