Thanks! You was faster than me, I found too that weight at last.
That's light baby, comparing that IBM 1800 :D ...and seems there is casters below.
Finding software for the Series II and III has been extremely difficult
so please try to find any that was associated with the machine.
What I heard... there was meters and meters long shelf of 3000 documentation. But disaster
hit couple years ago: sewer broke over that shelf and documentation turned to biohazard
material. So... that room's content is lost for good :/
However, lets not get sad about this. Donater is school and they have there LOT of other
documentation and brochures. What I found, there is lot of miscellaneous HP, Honeywell
Series 16, Data General Nova, DECs documentation/brochures. And probably there is some
copies of destroyed ones. Also there is many carton boxes full of "something",
so anything can be found. Like I found VAX schematics in microfilms, dated 1985. I think
these would ease the pain ;)
By the way Al, I have probably something what you like to scan from that IBM find, like
PPCP manuals... I'll send you list of manuals later!
