Sorry you're having problems with the download, but the link is good. Here's the page on ismacs that has the links to a bunch of manuals, including for the 401. The previous link also references the 401 manual on this page, so I don't think you will be able to get to it from here if you were unable to get to it with the previous link, but you can try:

The link for the 401 is to a 14MB file. It takes a while to load on my computer (a newer model with lots of memory running Windows 7), but it does load. You might check to see if you have the latest Adobe Acrobat. I would offer to email you the manual, but at 14 MB that probably wouldn't work either.
