If I find something you want someday, Tony, I won't hold this statement
against you. :-)
Before anyone gets too much more upset by this
discussion, perhaps I should
mention that John just told me that if I really wanted the book, he thought
it had once been available on the web. That reminded me of something I
checked out a year or two ago. The curious might investigate
https://toolbox.sgi.com/toolbox/hardware/hwHandbook/
but don't expect vast amounts of serious technical info.
Yes, it apparently is available there after you register for the free
"developer online" level of SGI developer-ness. As for its depth or
lack thereof - hey, that's part of the reason it didn't occur to me
that it was valuable. The second manual on eBay is now at $78.
