Oh, OK, then maybe there's no need to scan this stuff.

Back in 1984 I had cloned a Logical Microcomputer
Co. Genix system based on the Nat. Semi. 16032 chip set. I had a dd
dump of the distribution on floppies, but that was unreadable.
I just found a binder with about an inch of fanfold printouts of all the device drivers,
low-level system routines, boot
loaders, etc in c source format.
These were printed on my Honeywell "big iron" drum printer with a funny
character set, so many of the ASCII 96
characters are printed using overprints. Like, { shows as a < overprinted with (.
So, it might be tricky to scan and OCR it without training the OCR. Not sure anybody
would be interested in it, anyway.

I have an image of the Genix source tape.
Will try to dig it up.
