I've got contacts within HP's legal group. If we can define the scope of what
we'd like released; i.e., calculator and computer manuals before 1980, or
whatever, I'll be glad to try to get their release under HP copyright (I
wouldn't bother to try for public domain).

Got any idea where/when that happened? From personal correspondence
with Dave Hicks, I know that he specifically requested and received
permission, but I have not heard of anyone else doing so, nor of any
blanket permission. If they have in fact done that, it would be quite
useful, but it doesn't seem like something that HP's lawyers would be
likely to do.

I don't know if they're exactly public domain
but HP has given their
permission for peeople to copy them and sell copies and PDF copies.
HP hasn't given "people" permission to do that. They gave Dave Hicks
permission to do it.
