It= contains information regarding console commands/configuration necessary to= booting a UNIX system, some hardware and installation notes, and covers th= e 3B20S, 3B20A, PDP-11/70, and VAX-11/750+780. The PDP-11/70 gets the leas= t attention, presumably because it was on the way out as a supported platfo= rm by this point. The next slug when I swing back around to it will be the Users and Administ= rators Guides, similar to this one but for a slightly different audience. = After that, the remaining manuals will be a bit more challenging as they ar= e conventional binding rather than binders, brads, or comb bound, trying to= figure out if I can get adequate scans in a non-destructive way but may be= unavoidable, in which case those will wait until after I move so I can wor= k out a plan to have them rebound once all is said and done. Also, worth mentioning, when I'm done with all of these documents, I have n= o real attachment to the physical articles, so when the time comes, I'm goi= ng to be interested in offloading the physical materials with priority give= n to anything like a computing museum, then UNIX heads around here, then if= nothing else will just donate them to the local community college library = if they're interested. If anyone is aware of a perfect destination for the= se, I'm happy to coordinate shipping them to their forever home once I'm do= ne scanning. Whoever gets them can pay me if they want, but that won't be = prerequisite beyond probably asking for shipping costs to be covered. I'm = much more of the interest of insuring they go somewhere they'll be cherishe= d/taken care of than making any sort of money off the transaction, I'm alre= ady doing this stuff at a loss because I'm more interested in the preservat= ion aspect. Plus, I ain't trying to give the impression I'm financially ga= ining from all this material I didn't write. Thanks for being a willing au= dience to all my study and research lately, hopefully the materials are mak= ing putting up with my verbosity and frequency worth it :) - Matt G. ------- Original Message ------- On Wednesday, December 21st, 2022 at 2:17 PM, segaloco via TUHS wrote: > Good day folks, reassigning this thread once again as I've refocused effo= rts to the System V docs I have since I'm working on a *ROFF restoration of= that 4.1 manual, that seems quicker to market for research purposes than s= canning and OCR'ing it all, as I can just compare 3.0 and 5.0 sources with = diff and then touch up one or the other to produce a faithful typesetter so= urce.
