The format is the old one... Masterformat-95. The product is a recessed laptop wall mount computer station (like you see outside of exam and patient rooms these days. Where would it live in your project manual??

It came out with an early electronic version of MF04. If not, I'd be happy to email it to you. I find it handy for the occassional MF95 jobs we still do, although MF04 has been tweaked a bit from when the spreadsheet was made. I haven't checked to see if an update has been made.

I would treat it sort of like a fold-down bench -- but for a computer.

George, no, I don't have the conversion table. Feel free to email it to me at jtims@fsarchitects.com. Thanks!

The spreadsheet that accompanies MasterFormat 2004 is copyrighted material. The member cost of MF04, which includes the book and a CD with transition tools, is only $109, not an unreasonable price for the information it contains. Note that the book and the pdf contain information that is not found in the free information offered by CSI. A free list of MF04 titles is available on CSINet.org, and an online transitionguide also is available. I know neither of these help go from MF04 backward, but perhaps not all readers of this discussion know about these resources. Jerry Tims Senior Member Username: jtims Post Number: 28 Registered: 04-2005 Posted on Thursday, August 07, 2008 - 11:17 am:    Don't worry Sheldon.....I purchased the MasterFormat 2004 book as soon as it was available for purchase. The CD that came with it was in 2 pieces when I received it so I had no clue what was on it, and didn't bother to try and find out since I find most "accompanying CDs" to be pretty worthless. In this case, it sounds like some useful information may have actually been on it!

It is available on their website: log in and navigate to Specifications Resources > MasterFormat. Of course, these matrices are only for sections in the Masterspec library.
