Oh and I'd suggest - simply due to cost - that a bunch of us chip in, buy one, and someone on the forum offered to have it scanned, so we can have it readily available online for use 24/7.

Don, some ppl expressed interest in an FSM. I have on real use for it, but hey, why not make everything we can available? It can't hurt... 
But you're right, a complete parts diagram catalogue is where the money's at.

Where did you get this price from? I will see what I can come up with and let you know, it may take alittle bit of time. Did you make anything out on the Parts fische?
I'd totally chip in on a '99+ shop manual - count me in.
I think this is a case where people should chip in for the good of the community. If we get a bunch of people to chip in $20 that would defray the costs for Ramy, and everyone from now on would have access to that information.

EPC Matsuda CD?
I just remembered... I have a couple of discs a friend who worked for a Mazda dealership gave me. "Electronic Parts Catalog" January 24, 2003, EPC MUA353 and EPC MUA253. I have no idea what's on them because it requires special software to read them.

Got this off yahoo japan- is this similar to what you have? Shall i get this and see if its what we want?
It is 2005 January A edition of the Matsuda EPC CD parts list and 3 sets of non service. Breakdown is, 2005 January A1 and A2, non service, each 1. As for non service method of using does not understand. (Password input the search program has entered into the necessary is) A1 disk. Moving the data to the hard disk, there is no CD with it can utilize. Hardware requirement OS Windows (R) 95OSR2,98,98SE, ME and NT (R) 4.0,2000, XPDOS/V, above PC9821 CPU Pentium 133MHz suitable above main memory 32MB (above 64MB recommendation) above hard disk capacity 300MB. To insert the EPC data, display color display above 5GB and CD-ROM drive necessity above the 800×600 Being something which is used as one for business at the dealer, and the part store generality sale is something which is not done.

Thanks a lot for the offer to chip in guys. I may jump on that offer. Gimme a few...I'm waiting to hear back from my guys about the parts diagram catalogue, and I'd also like a clarification as to why the FSM is so expensive... that's leaving me 
The US one is only $120...
Dom, this is my guess, but from what you're saying (Electronic Parts Catalog), this is what I think it is.
They often make 2 versions of the FSMs. One is complete, and is on paper. Another is in a binder format, and that version, they usually leave off the Electronics from. Don't ask me why lol. Ditto w/ the US FSM. I just confirmed this w/ Ray. The electronics portion is completely left off from the bound version. So maybe it's available as a CD addition, or even that the FSMs are completely electronic (ie on CD) in later years, and so the Electronic section is available as a separate set of CDs. That make any sense?

I think the main reason for the FSM being seperated like that is because of the size of it. Look at how thick the small one is. You would have to have a 6-ring binder for that (pun).
Plus it's easier to organize that way for the genius crew at the dealerships. (pun)

One reason for the '99 plus FSM is for people trying to support the black box solenoid controls.
Mazda may kill us for copyright infringement; but then we are using for educational enrichment on our FD's on for sale. I support a group buy of one set Parts and FSM and posting a scanned version.
