In the case of the HX-20 manuals, for example, the
last time I checked
Epson was still corporately breathing. The rights to CP/M at last report
were transferred from Novell (purchaser of Digital Research) to Caldera,
the Linux company that also has the rights to DR-DOS.
In the case of Epson - an e-mail requesting permission to duplicate such
an old manual might be successful.
CP/M supposedly will become freely distributable someday when Caldera
finds the code or some such silly excuse. (No flames on this please -
I pop into comp.os.cpm on occasion).
