I saw the following on the linux-vax list.  It seems to me it might be
worthwhile for us to get more info on the scope of the project, its terms,
and to see if we can collectively contribute to it.  We'd all benefit from
having better access to old DEC documentation.

The Dallas/Fort Worth DECUS local users group is scanning all Digital
documentation, no matter how old.  You might contact them
(denton at dsserv.com or wisniewski at dwlug.decus.org) to see if they'd like to
copy your manuals.

You get a free copy of everything they've scanned when they finish.

Subject: 11/23
Message-ID: <14542.26065.307971.235059@cley.com>

Someone is offering me an 11/23 with (I think) 2 small disks
(RL-something) which are meant to bbe 10Mb each (maybe 5?)

Can someone tell me what Unices this will run?  It has no media other
than the disks (it has, I think, RT-11), but I've read about people
getting stuff into things down a serial line -- how practical is that?

Thanks
