-------- Forwarded Message -------- From: rob.kolstad(a)gmail.com To: van.snyder(a)sbcglobal.net Subject: Bendix G-15 Documentation Date: Mon, 3 Oct 2022 19:09:34 -0600 Bendix G-15 DocumentationDear Fellow G-15 Enthusiast, I'm Rob Kolstad, and I am sending you this little informational blurb because I think you are interested in Bendix G-15 projects (sometimes because I have seen someone messaged you about such things in the last two decades). Feel free to send me an 'unsub' note to never hear again about such things. This note announces the beta test of the first set of the documentation collection: https://rbk.delosent.com/g15doc.html The collection includes 161 source documents (some duplicates) comprising some 10,566 pages (including blanks). I have broken some of the source documents into their constituent sub-documents (e.g., the Technical Application Memos) for easy access, yielding 1,414 documents in total. The collection is by no means complete (coming soon: good large-format schematics and perhaps a search bar), but it's a good start. I'll try to scan the rest before the year is out. The fine folks at the System Source Computer Museum in Baltimore have gained, at least for now, several Bendix G-15's (and peripherals) along with more than two dozen boxes of Bendix documentation mingled with documentation of a large highway engineering firm's projects. The collection also has hundreds of paper tapes in fabulous condition. I scanned a fraction of these documents back in June and combined them with my personal collection (thanks to Bob Sander-Cederlof in Texas) and the documents from bitsavers.org and the Computer History Museum (among others). This documentation section forms one of the main parts of the soon-to- be-released (2022) bendixg15.com website for all things G-15, including software, hardware/restorations, emulators, news, photos, and notes. Please feel free to check out the documents. I'll let you know in a few months when the general web-site is available. Comments, questions, and suggestions are always welcome.
