That's neat! Thanks! I always liked the Pro/350: When you get into the
OS command prompt it's a really nice system and Synergy wasn't a bad
windowing system either. I used it a lot in the day and it worked pretty
well with a mouse.
Also venix wasn't bad, for awhile my Venix equipped 350 was on the
internet via uucico. Those were the days...

If it helps, I bought a copy of the DEC Professional
350 Field
Maintenance Print Set (MP-01394) on eBay a few months back.
I've scanned it but I've been waffling about where to post it. Scanned
@600DPI with lossless compression it's huge: 1 GB.? Saved as an
"optimized" PDF (with very little visible difference) it's 94 MB.
In the short term I've temporarily thrown up the optimized copy onto
Google drive:

I'd love to be able to contribute this to something like bitsavers.
Thanks.
