My scanner is not a great thing, but it has a decent paper feeder.
I don't have interest in take possession of these manuals (for space
reasons), but I could get some of them to scan and return to the
owner.
Assuming that they are in binders, of course. I'm constructing an
artisan scanner based in my Smarthpone for traditional book scanning,
but I'm going slow with it.
And having in mind that I live in Europe.

Hey all --
(Here's hoping this makes it to the list, my last couple of mails appear to
have disappeared into the nothing...)
I was fortunate to come into possession of a very complete Sun-2/120
workstation last week. (Complete enough that it came in the original boxes
and included amongst other things a bottle of tape head cleaner with a Sun
P/N on it...)
Included with the system are maybe 8 feet of manuals and other ephemera, I
haven't done an extensive inventory but it seems to cover SunOS 1.0 through
3.0, some hardware documentation, and I have other assorted goodies like the
first few issues of the Sun User Group "README" newsletter, sales pamphlets,
sales invoices and correspondence between the buyer and Sun.
I haven't found any digital archives of this stuff (but perhaps I've been
looking in the wrong places). Is any of it of particular interest w.r.t.
archiving? (Anyone with a bulk scanning setup willing to take it on?)
