If we could have some co-ordination between those that
have and are willing
to use scanners and those that have the books, maybe we can make up a list
of all the PDP-11 books into five lists (maybe more) that might be useful?
(a) Hardware Manuals
(b) RSTS/E Manuals
(c) RSX Manuals
(d) RT-11 Manuals
(e) Other Manuals - if this list is too large, then divide it as well.
Something to consider. It's my understanding that it is OK, to scan/copy
the hardware doc's. However, I'm not sure that the same is true with the OS
Manuals, in fact I'm fairly sure that it isn't OK. This is unfortunate as
I'm guessing that there are even fewer Hobbyist with the OS doc's than have
hardware doc's.
Keep in mind when talking about RSTS/E, RSX-11M/M+, and RT-11 manuals you're
talking about software that you can still purchase, and Doc sets that are
still for sale. I'm guessing Mentec, and possibly Compaq would take a dim
view of copying these manuals.
