The scans and CD-ROM don't ring a bell for me (and I didn't see any
reference in the archives). Are you sure you're not thinking of the
Mark-8 scans and CD-ROM Jim Willing produced a while back?

I have the original plans for Simon. They were scanned a few years ago
and made available to listmembers on CD-ROM, but I don't know where the
scans are at this point. Doug also has the plans and I *thought* he had
made them available on the web. Someone had gotten copies of the plans
from IIRC the Babbage Institute, but they were prohibited from
distributing them. Check the ClassicCmp Archives for more information.
