Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2005 20:31:40 +0000 From: asbesto <asbesto at freaknet.org> To: jfoust at threedee.com Subject: Information about CD-ROM in the library of Computer Museum Hi, i'm Gabriele Zaverio, president of FreakNet MediaLab, an italian association dedicated to preserve computing history and working to create a Museum of Working Machines :) we're actually working on a Data General Eclipse MV/7800XP running AOS/VS, a very particular Operating System. Our problem is the total lack of any manual. So, searching the net, i caught this page: http://www.threedee.com/jcm/library/ in which i read: "Two CDs of 20,046 pages I've made contact with a guy who's scanned 20,046 pages of the docs listed below, at 300 to 400 DPI. I keep these on CD-R." well, i'm really interested in those CD! :) i think we can made a sort of exchange - here we have many kind of manuals, from Honeywell DPS-4 and DPS-6, to PDP-11/34 internal schematics (including GAMMA-11 TAC Camera), and other manuals like DG/UX for Data General Eclipse... as our goal, we want to put online every kind of documentation we have, and we started scanning something. About our Eclipse, we have some stuff here: http://zaverio.net/eclipse/stuff as documentation, howto's and tape images and backups of some part of AOS/VS, including help files and man pages. :) can you help ? i see you CD-ROM contains very interesting manuals that can help us running this machine (our goal is to make it available for users for experimenting it :) please help us, and tnx in advance Gabriele "asbesto" Zaverio FreakNet MediaLab / Poetry p.s. we're from Palazzolo Acreide, a little town in Sicilia, Italy! :) -- [ asbesto : IW9HGS : freaknet medialab : radiocybernet : poetry ] [ http://freaknet.org/asbesto http://papuasia.org/radiocybernet ] [ http://www.emergelab.org :: NON SCRIVERMI USANDO LE ACCENTATE ] [ *I DELETE* EMAIL > 100K, ATTACHMENTS, HTML, M$-WORD DOC, SPAM ]
