JensonUSA has the newlines.
2004 skareb platinum etc... they also have the Minute line which seems like more FR oriented. Edit: they also list 04 Dorado's

Skareb
Skareb Platinum is the new top-of-the-line cross-country fork from Manitou. It leverages stable platform valve (SPV), the latest in anti-bob technology to produce a fork that is stiff when you need it (climbing, sprinting) while being completely active over bumps and rocks. SPV makes the fork completely immune to pedal-induced bob, making it the ultimate race fork.
The SPV setup offers adjustable sensitivity, eliminating unwanted movement while still getting max travel out of the fork. The rider can adjust both the air pressure and the chamber size of the SPV system, for adjustable compression damping. After proper setup the SPV system "knows" the difference between low resonance input, like pedaling forces, and high resonance input, like chatter bumps, and acts accordingly, locking out the fork as appropriate. The result is a stable platform for climbing and sprinting, with 80 or 100mm of travel for the bumps.
An air spring setup is used for maximum weight savings. You'll also find semi-bath lubrication with Evil Genius seals to keep your fork running smooth ride after ride. Adjustable rebound and compression damping let you tune the fork to meet your specific needs, based on your body weight and riding style.
Skareb Platinum uses Manitou's Reverse Arch magnesium casting lower, which are lightweight and keep the fork tracking straight and true, thanks to increased stiffness. 74mm post-style disc brake mount, 1 1/8" threadless steerer fits most modern mountain bikes. Available in models with 80 or 100mm travel, as well as models with V-Brake® and disc mounts, or disc mounts only.
And the Minute
Manitou's Minute line offers their new stable platform valve (SPV), one of the most sophisticated damping technologies ever developed. With SPV, your fork is extremely active, soaking up bumps, but highly resistant to pedal induced bob. Finally you can have a long travel fork with no performance penalty while climbing that is still able to handle the big hits.
The Minute Three is an air-sprung fork that offers significant weight savings over coil-spring models, yet still offers plush long travel and outstanding adjustability. Manitou's Rapid Travel adjustment lets you choose 100 or 130mm of travel via a selector on the bottom of the fork leg.

After proper setup the SPV system "knows" the difference between low resonance input, like pedaling forces, and high resonance input, like chatter bumps, and acts accordingly, locking out the fork as appropriate. The result is a stable platform for climbing and sprinting, and a plush 100+ mm of travel for the bumps.
Minute Three also features a new magnesium lower leg casting with Reverse Arch technology, saving an ounce over last year's Black model, yet adding stiffness to keep the fork tracking straight and the steering sharp. The magnesium lowers offer a 74mm post-style disc brake mount. 1 1/8" threadless steerer fits most modern mountain bikes. Minute Three is available in a version with both disc and V-Brake® mounts, as well as a disc-only version for riders who prefer not to have V-Brake® bosses.
The Dorado's
Dorado forks are already world-renowned for their long travel, high performance design. Now the 2004 Dorado ups the ante again by adding an available SPV (stable platform valve) to the Dorado MRD X-Works, a new fork with 200mm of travel. Also available is the Dorado DH, a 180mm travel model that uses traditional Manitou TPC+ damping. Both models feature adjustable preload, rebound, and compression damping control. When you're flying down the mountain, these are the forks you want underneath you.
The SPV setup (available on the MRD X-Works 200mm model) offers adjustable sensitivity, eliminating unwanted movement while still getting max travel out of the fork. The rider can adjust both the air pressure and the chamber size of the SPV system, for adjustable compression damping. After proper setup the SPV system "knows" the difference between low resonance input, like pedaling forces, and high resonance input, like chatter bumps, and acts accordingly, locking out the fork as appropriate. The result is a stable platform for climbing and sprinting, and fully active travel for the bumps.
Both Dorado models feature 20mm throughaxles for maximum stiffness and precise tracking, and are compatible with hubs conforming to this standard. Evil Genius seals and Semi-bath lubrication ensure the long term performance of the fork. 74mm post-style disc brake mount, 1 1/8" threadless steerer.
