While looking for my RSX11 DECNET manual (because the online version
doesn't have any examples of commands which is why you look in the
manual in the first place) I found a copy of the DSM binder AA-K676B-TK
and ilk.
Is this online or does anyone else have it?

It sure doesn't seem to be on-line. In fact, Googling that document number produces
exactly one hit (another DEC document which mentions this document in the text). Getting
that scanned would be neat.

Well, it's huge. As in totally fills a large DEC binder. Seems to have
the following:
Introduction to DSM
Language reference
User's Guide
XDT reference
Release Notes
Would go well with that copy of DSM I have imaged on an RD52 drive.
So does anyone in MD have access to a faster scanner than mine (Pixma 870)?

If a few of us were to chip in very small donations, what would it cost to
have a commercial scanning service company, with high speed auto-feed
scanners, scan it?
I admit that I had to GOOGLE what DSM stood for.
At the risk of offending many others, I would think that documentation for
the 5150 could be called "DSM-IV"

For those who need explanation of my inept attempts at humour, . . .
(I probably shouldn't even try)
DSM-IV is "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual" for mental disorders, and is
the primary reference in most libraries on such (yes, I was a librarian
for a while).
5150 is current slang, and the California code, for involuntary
psychiatric committment of those who are a danger to themselves or
others. Some feel that that was a coincidentally excellent name for IBM's
entry into the personal computer market.

Hello,
As a MUMPS programmer, I would definitely be interested… A former boss lent me his copy
once. I should have scanned it.

Okies. Another unique thingie in my life, need to get it out there.
So any suggestions on companies that can do the scans in or around
Baltimore MD? I'd do it for endless beer privileges at future meets/get
togethers :-)

I've used scanning services at Staples. In my case, large format scanning, but I
think the store I went to also had a letter size scanner with a feeder.
Another possibility would be to find someone nearby interested in helping who works at a
company that uses modern copiers/scanners/fax machines. Copiers are often "digital
copiers" which means they are actually a scanner feeding a printer, and "scan to
USB stick" tends to be one of the features. Those will scan at typical office copier
speeds. Some will do the job in color, if you need that.

I'm in the western suburbs of Chicago but if the manual is unbound (3
ring or 18 hole cerlock) where the pages will fit into a document feeder
I have a Xerox copier/printer/scanner that can do double sided scanning.
You pay postage both ways, I am happy to scan it for you.

Hello,
Unfortunately I’m in California so I wouldn’t be of much help. However, I can certainly
contribute money.
