Tony,
Whilst I have some issues with www.mosi.org.uk the access to the Documents
and artefacts held on site but not on display is pretty good.
http://www.mosi.org.uk/collections.aspx
you can even arrange to loan items for talks and presentations :-

ection.aspx
When I spoke to the Head of Collections he said it would be good if more
people came in because that helps to justify the service.

Presuambly referign to my comments that museums _that I have attmpted
to deal with in the UK_ arre close to being black hoels for information.
Museums overhere seem to take copyright a lot more seriously than those in
the States and will not make software/manuals avaialble. Nor wil lthey
alow
Don't
drink the Duell kool-aid
Eh? J-Random-Public to look at said manuals
In another of my interestes, the US group has put all their applicable
documentaion on the web for free downlaodd by anyone. In the UK, the
copyrigth owner has issisted that (a) You ahve to be a member of the UK
group (thiois does not bother me), (b) a dowload limit of 10 documents
_per
week_ (and foten each page of a scheamtic it a
separate docuement) and (c)
the docuemants are heavily 'watermarked' often so that conenctor pin
nuumbers or component values cannot be read. Oh well...
