Dave,
Thank you so much for enquiring. Not an uncommon problem, scanning (and even just
cataloging) is so resource intensive. Well, at least they cataloged it properly and made
the entry available on the web, so we should be grateful for that. Is someone in the UK
close enough to go view it and take pictures of the pages? Would be nice if they could
consider lending it to another institution or a researcher for scanning (CHM,
hpmuseum.net, come to mind).

Marc,
They seem to have a big collection of Manuals but no intention of scanning
them, or making them available other than on personal request. I am in the
UK but have never been. Let me e-mail and ask.

The link below is from the computer museum in Cambridge, UK, which
seems to have a copy of an HP 2640 terminal manual I am looking for. Is
anyone from that museum on the list? Does any of the UK members know
them?

Does anyone on the list have a copy of this manual?
