Does anyone else on here have good copies of the following:
HP-85 Mass Storage ROM Pocket Guide (00085-90139)
HP-85 Plotter/Printer ROM Pocket Guide (00085-90141)
HP-85 BASIC Reference Card (00085-90039)
HP-85 Pocket Guide (00085-90040)
Assembler ROM HP-83/85 Pocket Guide (00085-90445)
Advanced Programming ROM Pocket Guide HP-83/85 (00085-90147)
I/O ROM and Interface Pocket Guide Series 80 (00087-90122)
... the ones I unearthed today are decaying extremely badly, with chunks of
the pages missing, lots of brown discolouration, and the surface of the main
HP-85 pocket guide's cover is actually falling off.
If I were *very* careful I might just get a scan out of them if I first snip
the staples and separate the pages (with staples in place I don't think
they'll open up and lay flat without crumbling into dust). If someone else has
good copies though already I'll not waste my time...
If someone already has high-res colour scans then even better :-)
(I have no idea what happened to them to make them like this - whilst I've
seen older 'rough' paper discolour and go a little brittle, I've never seen
more recent 'glossy' paper like this just start to completely crumble into
nothing)
cheers
