[John Foust]

I gave them access to my ftp archive, and directed
them to this list and to Bitsavers, too.

>in which i read:
>
>"Two CDs of 20,046 pages
> I've made contact with a guy who's scanned 20,046 pages of the
> docs listed below, at 300 to 400 DPI.  I keep these on CD-R."
>
>well, i'm really interested in those CD! :)
>
>i think we can made a sort of exchange - here we have many kind
>of manuals, from Honeywell DPS-4 and DPS-6, to PDP-11/34
>internal schematics (including GAMMA-11 TAC Camera), and
>other manuals like DG/UX for Data General Eclipse...
>
>as our goal, we want to put online every kind of documentation
>we have, and we started scanning something.
>
>About our Eclipse, we have some stuff here:
>
>http://zaverio.net/eclipse/stuff
>
>as documentation, howto's and tape images and backups of
>some part of AOS/VS, including help files and man pages. :)
>
>can you help ? i see you CD-ROM contains very interesting
>manuals that can help us running this machine (our goal
>is to make it available for users for experimenting it :)
>
>please help us, and tnx in advance
