Huh? DEC service and software listings on Diazo? Hmmm, you
are right! I always thought these were silver film, but
just took a look and they are very dark blue Diazo. On the
other hand, these are VMS 4.2 fiche, so QUITE old, and look
totally brand-new. So, we have a few years yet to find a
way to read them.
I am familiar with that frosty Diazo fiche that are very
pale blue color, wouldn't be surprised if those faded. They
were never intended for archival storage.

All of the DEC film I
have (which I believe is already available) is diazo duplicates, which are
susceptible to fading over time, even when stored in proper conditions.
That's
why we should do it now, not later ;-)
