Just for the record, some days ago I stumbled over physical manuals
for the STC 2920, to be specific 'Storage Technology Corporation 2920
Tape Subsystem Maintenance Manual, January 1986'. Volume 1 and Volume
2. Original STC binders. Volume 2 still in unopened plastic wrapping.
They're heavy and would be expensive to ship from Norway I guess. But
if in the future anyone would need them I may still have them - will
try to find somewhere to store them, for a few years at least. But
they appear to be approximately the same as is on bitsavers already.
Looking at the ebay link in the earlier post, my Volume 1 has a page
that looks the same, except that my copy has 'January 1986' printed as
well. Volume 2 is called 'Logics'. As I haven't opened it I haven't
checked exactly what's in there, and/or if that is covered by the
bitsavers scans.

Yes, STC or "Storage Technology Corporation" was the earlier name.
Generally, if there are name changes I use the earliest name but I didn't
have any STC docs uploaded. I'll merge the two at some point.
I'm working on scans from about six other STC products right now. there is one version of the maint manual up under
stc on bitsavers now.
it turns
out I have several other versions, and the manual for the formatter
I noticed there's now both an stc directory (with the 2920 manual) and
a storagetek directory (with 4220 and 4280 manuals). Are they not the
same company?
