Well, I maintain that the fact that they have a stale listing in their

I'm a little offended that you think I'd weasel out a loose rationale to
scan and upload it. Did you even read the last sentence I typed above?
Well, Micromint wants $25 for the manual for the
BCC180 and their
website claims it is still available. I would be happy to scan it
if/when I purchase a copy, but they'd have to be asked. I would
think if they'd allow it to be scanned and made available, that I
would have found it already in my scouring of the net for a copy.
I'll certainly follow through and ask them for permission and submit
it if I do buy the manual.
Um, Scott, Micromint (the copyright holder) currently sells copies of
the documents for $25. That should probably tell you what their
answer is going to be if you ask for permission to scan it and
distribute it for free. This should also inform you as to the
propriety of scanning it and"making it available".
