The following is some info about these that I collected

Here's a quick run-down (somewhat chronological):

This is the kind of info that I really believe should be archived on the web
for all eternity.
I don't own a tektronix ws now, so although interesting, it's not something
I really want to clutter up my email folders with.
However, I might just get one next week. In which case, I'd really want
this info. But, I wouldn't want to bother Bill for it again (and again and
again...).
If it were on a web page somewhere, a search in Alta Vista (or whichever
search engine one used) would turn it up.
So, I would like to *really* encourage people who have this sort of info to
put it on the web.
Of course, it's all fine and dandy for me to say that (especially when I
have yet to get *my* collection online!) when I know you all have more
important things to do and more important stuff to fill your webspace with.
So, I'll offer to host and html-ize any stuff like this anyone wants to send
me. Just dump it (any kind of: history, folklore, specs, special commands,
secret codes, easter eggs, power supply voltages, etc.) in an e-mail and
send it to me at <roger(a)sinasohn.com> and I'll get it on-line. (It won't
necessarily be beautiful, but it will be useable.)
Thanks!
