AK6DN on ebay (Don North) is reading the digests of this list.

As Al indicated, I did have some involvement with the 11/60 (I wrote
the microdiagnostic code and the FP macro diagnostics). I have lost
my copies of these two over the last 30 yrs (go figure) and wanted
to replace them. I do have an old hard copy of the FP11-E hardware
macrodiagnostic (DQFPE) which can be scanned as well.

Any 11/60 (or other -11 doc for that matter) doc I get via EBAY will be
made available for bitsavers scanning (or hard copies if so desired) so
no need to worry about it getting hoarded in some private archive.

BTW I was also involved in writing microcode for the 11/74 commercial
instruction set option, but this product was cancelled before it 
shipped.
The 11/74 blew the pants off the newly announced 11/780 when it ran
commercial Cobol ... as long as your program fit in 64K :-)
